STATEMENT OF W. R. WHITTIER. 



I enter for premium, a Durham and native cow, 7 years old. 

 She is a fine family cow ; never gives a large mess of milk ; 

 not more than from 12 to 15 quarts in 24 hours. But gives 

 very rich milk, and holds out up to her calving if desired ; 

 makes fine butter in a short time. Has had no feed excepting 

 what she got in the pasture up to August ; since that time we 

 have given her 4 quarts of shorts, in water, a day. This cow 

 calved last May and calves again next May.
