ON HEIFERS. 75 



Ayrshire blood. She calved in May, and in July her milk was 

 measured for one week, which averaged fourteen and one half 

 quarts per day, and on the following week she made seven and 

 one quarter lbs. of butter. She has been kept in a fair pasture, 

 and been fed with green corn fodder, but has never had any 

 grain, or any other extra feed. 



I also ofler for premium, my three year old heifer, of Devon 

 and Ayrshire blood. She has had two calves, the last of 

 which she dropped in May. She has been fed like the other 

 heifer, and was milked till within fourteen days of calving. 

 Her milk was measured for one week, which averaged fifteen 

 and one half quarts per day, and in six days she made seven 

 lbs. of butter. Respectfully, 



North Andover, Sept. 29, 1852. J. CROSBY. 



JOSEPH laTTREDGE'S STATEMENT. 



I offer for premium, as heifers in milk, 2 two-years old heif- 

 ers; one, half Ayrshire, the other, half Devon. The Ayrshire 

 calved about the first of May. As I had no expectation of her 

 calving so early in the season, she was wintered the past win- 

 ter on poor fodder, and was quite lean in flesh when she calv- 

 ed ; since which time she has had nothing but pasture feed, a 

 mile and a half from home. Her milk was weighed and meas- 

 ured occasionally in June, and she gave about twelve quarts a 

 day. She is now, (27th Sept.) giving about seven quarts a 

 day. 



Had I intended earlier to offer her for premium, I would 

 have made a more definite statement. She is a calf got by 

 the Ayrshire bull presented to the Society by the State Agri- 

 cultural Society, which has been so very severehj criticised at 

 former exhibitions, and has been considered unworthy of the 

 attention of the Society. 



The Devon calved in August, and is now giving eight quarts 

 of milk a day. They have had no fall feed. 



Respectfully, 



Andover, Sept. 27, 1852. JOSEPH KITTREDGE.
