Samuel Bitmap's Statement. 



The heifer I offer for premium is one half Dutch, the re- 

 mainder Native and Durham j was two years old on the 24th 

 of March last. On the 1 6th of April she had a calf j when 

 five weeks and two days old, the butcher credited me for 

 103 pounds, dressed. I milked from her, for three weeks, 

 nearly three quarts a day, after the calf had taken all it 

 would. I commenced weighing the milk on the first of June, 

 for seven days; weight 181 1-2 pounds, averaging 26 pounds 

 daily. September 1st, for seven days, 129 1-2 pounds, aver- 

 aging 18 1-2 pounds daily, of good milk. The keeping, in 

 June, was a poor pasture, with two quarts of shorts at night. 

 In September, the same pasture, with fodder corn, night and 

 morning, and two quarts of fine feed at night.
