for butter. Topsy was five years old last March. She dropped her calf 

 in February. Her keeping was only good hay which was given her 

 until the first of June, then she had nothing except the pasture with 

 the other cows. The first six days in June she made thirteen and one- 

 half lbs. of butter. The six days in September, her milk made six lbs. 

 She had only the pasture and cow corn at night.

To the Committee on Milch Kine : 



I offer for premium one heifer for milk, two years old the 28th of 

 April last. She dropped her calf the 12th day of June, which I sold 

 for veal the 24th of July for twenty dollars. At the September trial 

 she gave 110 lbs. of milk. Her keeping through the winter was swale 

 hay ; in summer, has been pasture with three cows ; the feed in pas- 

 ture has been dry and short since about the first of August. She has 

 had fodder corn once a day since the fifth of September.

Statement of Franklin Noiirse, 



To the Committee on Milch Kine : 



Gentlemen : — In compliance with the rules of our Society, I give you 

 the following information in regard to my three and two years old 

 heifers. 



The three yeaVs old heifer calved about the first of April, 1867 ; did 

 finely through the summer until autumn, when she got rather thin in 

 flesh, and was dried about the middle of winter that she might grow 

 and take on flesh. 



The calf by her side is three weeks old to-morrow, and she gives 

 two qts. of milk a day more than the calf will take. Furthermore she 

 speaks for herself; her keeping, common pasturing only.
