ONCOWSANDHEIFERS, 61 



No heifers that have been in milk were entered. Robert 

 Kimball, of Ipswich, presented a noble heifer calf, from a na- 

 tive cow, and sired by the Ayrshire bull of George W. Heard, 

 Esq., kept in Ipswich. The Committee having no authority to 

 award a premium, would only state, that it was a very fine 

 calf, of extraordinary size, and they recommend that a gratui- 

 ty be given Mr. Kimball of a copy of Washington's Letters on 

 Agriculture, 



Statements of the manner of keeping and quantities of milk 

 and butter each produced, accompany this report. 



For the Committee, 



T. CUTLER.

HENRY CREEsy'/s STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Coivs and Heifers : 



Gentlemen, — ^The cow which I offer for exhibition and premium, 

 is six years old. She calved the 21st of May, and has given milk 

 as follows : 



From May 21st to June 21st, 1,469 lbs. 4 oz. 



June 21st to July 21 St, 1,264 lbs. 



July 21st to August 21st, 1,127 lbs. 8 oz. 



*' August 21st to September 2Ist, 956 lbs. 8 oz. 



Total, 4,817 lbs. 4 oz. 



We sell most of the milk, but in order to ascertain the quality of 

 her milk, we have made butter from it, and find that it takes nine- 

 teen pounds of milk to one pound of butter. Her keeping has been 

 good grass feed, with the exception of seven weeks, when she had 

 two quarts of shorts per day. The said cow was raised by John 

 Bartlett, of Marblehead, and has been owned by me two years and 

 six months. HENRY CREESY. 



Salem, September 24th, 1845. 



The above statement is correct. 



CHARLES CREESY.
