a fair trial. She has had a good pasture, and been fed 

 with oats and corn, cut green at morning and evening. 

 During the past 4 months she has had 5 bags of wheat 

 bran or shorts. This cow has not before been offered 

 for exhibition. 



If any further information in regard to her is desired 

 by the committee, I shall be happy to furnish it. 

 Respectfully, yours, &.C., 



GEORGE HOOD.

[Note. By well authenticated statements it appears 

 that Mr. Hood's cow produced from May 12th to Sept. 

 26th, 138 days, 5956 pounds milk; greatest quantity in 

 one day, 53 pounds.] 



WM. S. ANNIS'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Cows and Heifers: 



Gentlemen — I offer for premium, a young cow, two 

 years and three months old. She has given thirteen 

 quarts of milk in one day. She gives now eight quarts. 

 In summer, when she gave most, she had nothing but 

 grass. She has now one quart meal and oats.
