5 lbs. of butter. Their keeping has been pasture, fodder 

 feed and corn, since August. 



The two years old heifer I enter for premium, calved

 203 lbs. of milk during the June trial, which made 6 lbs. of 

 butter; the September trial she gave 103 lbs. of milk, which 

 made 3 lbs. of butter. The first trial was six months after 

 calving, and the second trial eight months ; she has run with 

 my other cows ; common pasture, with fodder corn, has been 

 their keeping.

Isaac B. Woodward's Statement. 



To the Committee on Milch Kine : 



Gentlemen: — The heifer, "Topsy," which entered for 

 premium as a butter heifer, was two years old last March. 

 She dropped her calf in March. Her cream for the six days 

 in June, commencing the first Monday, made six pounds and 

 one ounce, (6 lbs. 1 oz.) At the like trial, in September, 

 she made four pounds and one ounce, (4 lbs. 1 oz.) Her feed, 

 in June, was what she got with the other cows in the pasture. 

 In September, the same with cows, corn night and morning 

 and dry at that.
