STATEMENT OF OLIVER WATSON. 



The native cow offered by me for preroinm, is eleven years old, 

 and has been owned by me four years. She calved July 18th, 

 1864. The calf, at' seven weeks old weighed 24G pounds, was 

 faltened wholly by milk from said cow ; who besides fattening 

 this calf supplied a family of six persons with mi]k and butter, 

 during those seven weeks. During the two weeks following 

 September 5th, she gave 266 quarts of milk, weighing 583 pounds. 

 Her milk is very rich in cream. During two weeks she made 

 12 pounds of butter per week, since that time no j^ains has been 

 taken to ascertain the exact amount she would make. This same 

 cow togeth^' with another exhibited by me at the same time, 

 produced during the ten following months, COO pounds of butter.
