To the Committee on the Dairy. 



Gentlemen — I present for your inspection, three 

 firkins of butter, one of June, of twenty five pounds, 

 two of September, of forty five pounds. I have 

 made, since Monday of last week, fifty five pounds 

 of butter, from six cows. I have now one gallon of 

 cream; have thirty two pans of milk on hand. Our 

 cows have had no feed but common pasturing till 

 since haying; they have had a few small lots of fresh 

 feed. I have managed with my butter much as for- 

 merly. I am very particular about working out all 

 the buttermilk from the butter when it is first 

 churned. 



Yours with respect, 



MARGARET WARDWELL..
