of 18 quarts per day, and, the last week in September, an av- 

 erage of 10| quarts per day. She was fed on grass alone. 



Samuel Staples' s Statement. 



The cow I offer for premium is of the native breed. She had 

 a calf in May which was taken away at one week old. She 

 gave, at that time, IS quarts of milk per day. She now, (Oc- 

 tober 2d,) gives about 10| quarts per day. During the seven 

 days previous to September 24th, she gave 76 J quarts, which 

 weighed 188^ lbs. She has had no feed but grass during this 

 time. I have sold from her $30 worth of milk each year for 

 four years past, and had milk in plenty for my family, and 

 have made as much butter as my family have used for four 

 months in each season. The cow is 11 years old.
