18 4 lbs. of her milk, produced about one pound 

 butter. 



It was not convenient, to reserve all her milk af- 

 ter this time, but we are satisfied from the quantity 

 she gave, that she would have made as much butter 

 for several weeks after, and still continues to do 

 well. 



She has fed in a common clay-land pasture, 

 through the season. On the 22d of June, I com- 

 menced giving her a quart of meal in the morning, 

 and a quart at night ; but did not perceive any mate- 

 rial difference, either in the quantity or quality of her 

 milk. Her butter is of fine color and flavour.
