STATEMENT OF OSCAR GOWEN. 



The cow 1 wish to enter for premium for the first week 

 in June, July, August and September for amount of butter 

 from any quantit}^ of milk, is a grade Ayrshire. She 

 dropped her last calf Jul}^ 9, 1893 and is due to come in in 

 January, 1895. 



First week in June, 144 lbs. milk, which made 9 lbs. but- 

 ter. Her feed was pasture only. 



First week in July, 161 lbs. milk, which made 10 lbs. 

 butter. Her feed was pasture, one quart corn meal and 

 two quarts shorts. 



First week in August, 75 lbs. milk, which made 6i lbs. 

 butter. She was kept in the barn and fed on buckwheat 

 in blossom and one quart of corn meal. 



First week in September she gave 112 lbs. milk, which 

 made 7 lbs. butter. Her feed was pasture, corn fodder and 

 two quarts of corn meal. 



Owing to the buffalo fly I do not think that the cow 

 gave nearly as much as she would, and it has been very 

 dry this season.
