her calving, last spring, which was on the 25th day April, when 

 ghe brought a cow calf, whose weight at its birth was 93 pounds. 

 At the age of six weeks, its weight was 190 pounds. The weight 

 of the calf at the age of five moni-bs and three days was 424 pounds. 

 The calf has taken half the milk of the cow — has fed on grass, and 

 has eaten some provender (shorts and meal.) The calf was sired 

 by a Bull of the Sandwich Breed. 



The keeping of the cow, the past season, has been in a common 

 pasture, with a small qaantity of shorts and meal daily. The calf 

 has been taken from the cow entirely, several days, at different 

 times, for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity of milk she 

 would give, and the following is the result : — 



On the 2d day of June, 18 qts. beer measure, weighing 46 lbs.

" *♦ 26th, " " July, 14 qts. " " " 36 " 



" « 6th, " " Sept. 16f qts. " « '* 39i " 



As above stated, the calf has taken half the milk from the cow, 

 and my family, which has consisted tha past season of five grown 

 persons and six children, have used the milk freely, as I have kept 

 no other cow. 



The following is the quantity of Butter made from her milk, after 

 supplying her calf and my family, as above, viz : — From April 25th 

 to September 26th, 1829, being 22 weeks, - 88 pounds. 



In the month of June, were made • - 25 j pounds. 



The calf, I exhibit with the cow, on account of its size and 

 beauty.
