STATEMENT (5f JOSEPH LONGFELLOW. 



I offer for premium mj grade Ayrshire heifer, three years 

 old. Has had two calves. Dropped her last calf May 24, and 

 will calve again about the lOtli of June. Her feed has been 

 grass, with the exception of one half peck potatoes per day, 

 from the time she calved to the 20th of June, in consequence 

 of the pastures being very backward, and of having a quantity 

 of unsaleable potatoes on hand. She has been driven one mile 

 to pasture. The average weight of her milk, per day, for the 

 first ten days in June was 31 lbs. 14 3-10 ozs. For the first 

 ten days in September, 21 lbs. 14 ozs., as will be seen by the 

 table annexed. Quality of milk good.
