BUTTER. 



Goshen, Orange county, Movemher 12th, 1846. 



The following is a statement of my mode of manufacturing the 

 butter exhibited at the Nineteenth Annual Fair. I have kept the 

 past season fifteen cows, from which I have made four hundred 

 pounds of butter from the first of May to the 10th of this month. I 

 have taken no extra pains with my cows, giving them nothing but 

 ordinary feed. My grass has been mostly timothy. During the whole 

 time I have given them no grain or roots. 



The ordinary course was followed in the manufacture of the but-

 dog. 



Respectfully yours, 



JOHN THEW.
