they had nothing to eat but what they got in the 

 pasture with the other cows, except the deep red cow 

 had two quarts meal per day. In September they had 

 nothing but grass. 



The deep red cow is of the native breed and is ten 

 years old. She calved one year ago last June, and is 

 expected to calve again next December, so that her 

 trial in June was one year after her calving. She gave 

 in June an average of 18 i pounds per day, and Sept. 

 151 pounds, and in one week made 7i pounds of butter. 



The bughorn cow, eight years old, calved in July and 

 was tried in September ; she gave an average of 23 a 

 pounds ; she is a grade Durham. 



The yellow cow is a grade Durham and is eight or 

 nine years old ; she calved last March, and gave in 

 June an average of 20 i pounds per day, and in Sept. 

 18 pounds per day. 



The star heifer is four years old, seven-eighths Dur- 

 ham ; she calved last April and is with calf again to 

 calve the latter part of winter. She gave in June an 

 average of 20 pounds per day, and in September 17 

 pounds per day.

 Durham, raised by Joel Page of Fitchburg-. She 

 calved the first of September, 1863, and has had but 

 one trial, and she gave an average of 35 pounds per 

 day. The cows that I have offered are quiet and orderly.
