STATEMENT OF MR. CAPEN. 



The cow oifered for premium by me, is of the Durham breed, 

 — ^nine years old. She calved on the 30th of September, 1853. 

 From the 15th to the 25th of the next October, she averaged 24 

 qts. of milk per day, weighing 51 lbs. She was fed on grass and 

 2 qts, of meal and 4 qts, of shorts per day. From the 15th to 

 the 25th of January, she averaged 16 qts. of milk per day.

STATEMENT OF MR. KING, 



Gentlemen — The Alderney heifer exhibited by me I imported 

 in July, 1853, She had a very long passage, (over 55 days,) 

 and was extremely low in flesh on her arrival. She dropped her 

 calf February 1st, 1854, which is also on exhibition. I think, 

 from observation, she is a fine specimen of the breed ; the quan- 

 tity of milk which she has produced from February 1st to Septem- 

 ber 25th, averages a fraction over 9| qts. per day. I am not 

 able to state the quantity of milk to make one pound of butter, 

 but this will vouch, that a quart of her milk will yield much more 

 cream than any cow I ever owned or ever knew. 

 Very respectfully yours, 



Edward Kma. 



Dorchester., Sept. 26, 1854.
