eight to ten cows, two to four yearlings and two to four calves 

 are fed very liberally from the hay products each year, which is 

 equal to a little more than one full grown animal to every two 

 acres of the whole farm, excepting that the cows are pastured in 

 part, about one month, between green rye and the time of cutting 

 corn-fodder. The calves and yearlings are also pastured outside 

 of these acres, to a small extent. 



I am 'sorry that it has not been convenient for all the members 

 of the Committee to visit the premises and judge for themselves of 

 the comparative condition of the land which I have entered as a 

 hay or grass farm. A. W. Cheever.
