" Lyda Sutton " has a record of 8,530 lbs. 



The winter feed of these cows was about a bushel of en- 

 silage twice a day witli hay once a day and watered once 

 a day ; grain, four quarts of mixed feed, meal and shorts, 

 half and half. Summer feed was pasture, grain rations 

 the same as winter. As the pastures dried up in summer 

 we fed oats and peas and corn fodder at night, what they 

 would eat up clean.

 To the Committee on Herds of Milch Cows : 



Gentlemen : — The herd of 17 cows which I have en- 

 tered for premium are the most of them grade Holsteins 

 and were fed the past year as follows : during the time 

 they were in the barn in winter they were fed three feeds 

 of cornstalks cut up, and one feed in the evening of second 

 crop or English hay, and meal twice daily, consisting of 

 three parts cotton seed. Pope gluten and cob meal as near 

 as I can estimate by my grain bills, 13 lbs. daily and pas- 

 ture feed in pasture time. I have milked an average of 15 

 cows, never below 14 and never above 16 of them in milk, 

 an average as I think of 15 daily. 1 have sold to A. S. 

 Conant $2015.08, and for family use and feeding calves 

 that I am raising, $11.10 making $2056.18 ; product of the 

 15 cows to Sept. 1st, for one year, being il37.12 per cow, 

 20.1 cans daily for year and 11.4 quarts daily per cow.
