Daring the first week of September she gave 118 lbs 14 oz. 

 She had feed only with the cows in the pasture in June. In 

 September she had fodder-corn once a day ; never has had 

 any meal, having always been kept in a common manner. 

 My pasture is rather moist than sweet, which made it un- 

 favorable this past wet season ; but there is one thing in my 

 favor, I do not own any meadow to poison my cows. 



I know not what to call my heifer, only the Native breed. 

 She is to come in, April 9th, 1858.
