GEORfiE W. DODGE'S STATEMENT. 

 To the Committee on the Dairy : 



Gentleaien, — I present for your inspection two box- 

 es of September butter, containing 29 lbs., being a spe- 

 cimen of 416 lbs. made between the 20th of May, and 

 20th of September, from the milk of five cows; also, a 

 pot of June butter, conta'ning 25 lbs. Besides makhig 

 the above named quantity of butter, we have sold seventy 

 gallons of milk, and used at least half a gallon per day in 

 the family. The feed of the cows was a common pas- 

 tui-e, until August ; since then, they have had a small 

 foddering of corti stalks at night. 



Process of making. The milk is strained into tin pans, 

 where it stands from thirty-six to forty-eight hours, when 

 it is skimmed and the cream put into tin pails, standing 

 on the bottom of a cool cellar. A little salt is added to 

 the cream which is frequently stirred. We churn twice 

 a w^eek. When the butter comes, the butter-milk is 

 thoroughly worked out, and the butter salted with an 

 ounce to the pound. After twenty-four hours it is again 

 woi'ked and weighed.
