Ayrsliird bull, imported by Mr. Gushing, of Watertown. Sli6 

 resembles the bull in form, color and general appearance. 



The two cows above described have frequently given more 

 than twenty pounds of niilk at a milking. 



The one horned cow is Ayrshire, five years old, is now dry, 

 will calve probably in three or four weeks, is from the Gushing 

 importation ; gives rich milk, and about fifteen pounds at a milk- 

 ing, in good grass feed. I have presented them merely to show 

 the varieties of stock. My experience shows that there are good 

 milkers among all the varieties. 



I also present for exhibition only, two calves, one with white 

 spot, from a Durham cow, now lame, or she would be here : 

 came the 27th of June last — has had the milk of his mother 

 only. The other from the red cow, part Durham, dropped the 

 3rd of July last — fed like the other. They are from a bull 

 dropped by the starred cow. I design to raise them for a pair of 

 oxen. 



West Newbury, September 27, 1853.
