By a sealed beer measure, I find that 2| lbs. are required to 

 the quart; 5S44 lbs. equal to 2337 beer quarts in 5 months, or 

 153 days, equal to 1.5-1^1 beer quarts per day. I have no other 

 cow. 



I, Philip Grant, Jr., certify, that I have had the care of J. H. 

 W. Page's cow, Jenny Li?icl, heifer, Jane Eyre, and calf, Lily, 

 since the 25th of April last ; the cow had hay until pasture, and 

 has been in ordinary pasture during the season. For a short 

 time, when grass was very short, I gave the cow 1 quart of oil 

 meal twice a day ; tlie rest of the time about 3 pints of oil meal 

 once a day. From about the middle of August to 30th Sept., I 

 fed the cow once a day, usually, with corn, sown broadcast, 

 grass being very short. She has had no other extra feed. I 

 have milked the cow all the time, except a few days when I 

 was absent, and weighed the milk, and kept an accurate ac- 

 count, which is in Mr. Page's hands, and the result is truly 

 stated above. When I was absent, T. Mahoner milked and 

 kept the account. 



The heifer, Jane Eyre, has had nothing but grass, and corn 

 fodder when the cow had it. 



From the 8th day of June, to the 8th of July, I found it ne- 

 cessary to milk the cow three times a day, her bag was so full ; 

 she did not leak her milk, but her bag was so full it seemed to 

 pain her. She is kind and gentle in all respects. 



I, Joanna Doneavan, certify, that I have had charge, during 

 the season, of the milk of J. H. W. Page's cow, Jenny Lind ; 

 that I have used milk for all purposes in the family, and made, 

 between the 10th of May, and 25th of September, 1848, 172 lbs. of 

 butter, of which I kept an accurate account, which is now in Mr. 

 Page's hands. Butter had been made by another person, before 

 May 10th, and I have made butter since 25th September, four 

 times, of which I have not taken any account in the above 172 lbs.
