Dairy. We hare!' usually kept ten or twelve cows, and used the 

 milk for the making of butter. The present year we have had but 

 8 cows. We have sold more than 400 pounds of butter, and made 

 600 pounds of cheese, besides the milk used by a large family. I 

 kept less cows the present season than usual, in consequence of my 

 my assistance in the house, being less ; and thinking it as well to use 

 my land for feeding of cattle, as to hire additional help in my 

 family. 



Labour. Myself and one man through the year — another man 

 five and a half months — two boys, one 14 years old, another 12 

 years old — have hired 12 days work. Have worked out with my 

 team to the amount of about one hundred dollars. 



The produce of my farm, as near as I can ascertain it, is as 

 follows : — 



Nine calves, sold for forty-five dollars, at four weeks old. 



Had I have known in the early part of the season, that a minute 

 account of my produce would have been expected, I could have 

 been more particular — I have endeavoured not to over rate it.
