STATEMENT OF JOSEPH NEWELL. 



To the Committee on Milch Cows : — 



I offer for premium " Daisy," a cow from Ayrshire and 

 Short Horn stock, eight years old. Her last calf was dropped 

 on the 9th day of March, and is to calve again the 1st of 

 March, 1863. 



The quantity of milk given by her for the time designated, 

 is as below given. She will vary but a small quantity from 

 this amount from the time of calving, till the present, on the 

 same keeping, which has been on pasture feed alone since the 

 1st of ]May. I consider her equally good for a stock cow as 

 for milk ; for specimens I would refer you to the yearling 

 heifer " Minna," and also a red and white steer, two years 

 old, entered for premium to-day by me. 



The amount of milk given by her for the first ten days in 

 June averaged 35 pounds per day ; first ten days in September 

 averaged 30 pounds per day.
