To the Committee on the Dairy : 



Gentlemen — The cheese I offer for inspection was 

 made from the milk of seven cows, two of which were 

 farrow. We have made use of milk in the family, con-

 ture, without any extra keep. 



Weight of butter made, 182 lbs. 



Weight of cheese, 862 lbs. 



The process of making is the common method. 



Respectfully, 



MARY T. THURLOW.
