ISAAC CARRUTH'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on the Dairy. 



Gentlemen — The cheese I offer for inspection, 

 was made from the milk of five cows. Three gave 

 milk the past winter, and one was dried in July; 

 which we consider but four cows through the sea- 

 son, and have used milk necessary for a family of 

 eight persons. Their feeding has been grass only. 

 Weight of butter one hundred and sixty pounds; —
