CHAMPION COW. 35 



Old Creamer is nine years old, and weighs 1,080 

 pounds. In three days she yielded the enormous 

 quantity of 302 pounds of milk, as follows: June 11, 

 lOOJ pounds; June 12, 100 pounds; June 13, lOlJ 

 pounds. She gave 2,820 pounds of milk in the 

 month of June, an average of over 94 pounds per 

 day ; 2,483^ pounds in the month of July, an aver- 

 age of over 80 pounds per day. 



This cow attracted so much attention at the Fair 

 from the statements of Gen. Hungerford, her admir- 

 able form, and evident great capacity for milk-giving, 

 that we annex the following measurements, which we 

 believe will prove of value and interest. 



These measurements were taken at noon, Sep- 

 tember 25, 1873, when she was receiving pails of 

 " slop " every few hours, and was said to be milking 

 25 pounds three times daily : —
