ON COWS AND HEIFERS. 41 



of June, between which time and the 24th ol Sept., she 

 has given 3740 pounds of milk, being an average of 32 

 pounds a day- From an experiment made to try the 

 quality of her milk, I found it took 26 pounds of her milk 

 to make a pound of butter. The above cow is 9 years 

 old, and has had nothing but pasture feed. 



I also exhibit for premium, a heifer 2 years old, from 

 the above cow. She calved about the middle of May; 

 her calf was taken from her the 1st of June. Her milk 

 has been weighed regularly since that time, until the 

 24th of Sept. She has given 2409 pounds of milk, being 

 an average of 21 pounds a day. From an experiment 

 made with her milk, I find a pound of butter can be 

 made from 23| pounds of milk. She has been in the 

 same pasture with her mother during the summer, and 

 has had no extra feed. 



Respectfully submitted, 



JOSEPH KITTREDGE.

JEREMIAH STICKNEY'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Cows and Heifers: 



Gentlemen — The cow which I offer for premium is 

 eight years old. She calved in March, and has given 

 since 35 lbs. of milk daily on an average. We have 

 made from her on an average 35 lbs. of butter per month, 

 and have used milk sufficient for the other uses of a very 

 large family besides, and have kept no other cow. She 

 has been fed on hay and grass only. Her butter is of 

 the best quality, and she will milk up to her calving, on 

 common feed.
