LEONARD DAY'S STATEMENT. 



HEIFER. 



The heifer which I offer for premium, was two years 

 old last February. She came in the first of June, and 

 I bought lier the 17th of the same month, and found 

 that she was an extra heifer. The last seven days of 

 June I had her milk weighed; she gave 212 lbs., 

 averaging little more than oOi lbs. per day. Did not 

 put her on trial for butter, because her milk was all 

 sold. The first 7 days of September, she gave 152i 

 lbs. milk — nearly 22 lbs. per day, of which was made 

 71 lbs. of butter. Her breed is Durham and native. 



N. B. Her keeping through the summer has been 

 on "Fox Hill ; " tied with a chain 14 feet long, attached 

 to an iron bar, and moved once a day. In September 

 when on trial, she was tied as above, in my mowing; 

 and fed once a day with corn fodder. I think she 

 would have given more if she could have had her 

 liberty as other cows, and gone to the water when she 

 pleased. She has never had any meal. 



TWO AND THREE TEARS OLD HEIFERS. 



Your Committee on two and three years old heifers 

 having attended to their duty, beg leave to submit the 

 following report : 



We found eight in this class of heifers on the ground, 

 all very fine animals, and after considerable discussion 

 and discrimination we made the following awards: 

 To John Brooks, Jr., of Princeton, for the best two 



years old heifer, the first premium of $4,00
