JAMES DAY'S STATEMENT. 



I offer for premium, my cow, of native breed, seven years 

 old. She calved on the 7th of April last, and the calf was ta- 

 ken from her on the 15th of May. It weighed 115 lbs. 



During the month of June, she gave, upon an average, six- 

 teen quarts of milk per day. She made, from June first, to Ju- 

 ly tenth, 63 1-3 lbs. of butter, and one week in the time she 

 made 12 3-4 lbs. butter. Since that time she has made 89 1-2 

 lbs. butter, up to Sept. 25th. She has been kept during the 

 season, in an old pasture, and has had no other feed of any 

 kind, until the 15th of August ; she was then fed morning and 

 evening, with green corn. JAMES DAY.

JAMES POOR'S STATEMENT. 



The Fountain Cow, herev/ith presented, had a calf at three 

 years old. She has never dried since. She is now eight 

 years old. We churn every week and fortnight the year 

 round. Her milk and butter is of a very excellent quality. 

 She will overrun 300 lbs. of butter, annually. In 1849, we 

 weighed her butter ten months. It weighed 255 lbs.; she 

 then had another calf; she has had a calf every year. 



This year, she made, during the month of January, 22 lbs. 

 6 oz.; February, 19 lbs.; March, 18 1-4 lbs.; April, 23 1-2 lbs.; 

 besides averaging a quart of milk a day, in the family. 

 Through the best of the season, 10 to 11 lbs per week. 



Her keeping is common pasturing ; no fresh feed in the fall. 

 During the winter, she had six bags of shorts.
