BARNSTABLE SOCIETY. 151 



Fi^edeinck W. Crocker^ s Statement. 



I offer two milch cows ; the larger, five yearj old, calved in 

 April, the other, four years old, calved in May last. They have 

 been kept on grass the last summer, and, for the past six weeks, 

 have had daily a quantity of corn-stalks, and occasionally 

 small potatoes, pumpkins and other vegetables. The elder cow 

 has had, at various times, a quantity of Indian meal, the 

 younger will not eat meal. From their milk, since the first of 

 May last, to the present time, Oct. 7th, I have made two hun- 

 dred and twenty-seven pounds of butter, besides supplying two 

 families with milk, in one of which were sixteen persons, 

 through nearly all the hot weather.
