bought in consequence of her superior quality as a milker, giv- 
ing eighteen quarts a day, and averaging about fifteen. In the 
month of April the cream of two days’ milk produced two and 
three-fourths pounds of butter, made of two and one-sixteenth 
quarts of cream, and required but two minutes’ churning. Thus 
much for the mother of the Cream-Pots. 
“T have bred my Cream-Pots with red or mahogany colored 
hair and teats, and gold-dust in the ears, yellow noses and skin, 
the latter silky and elastic to the touch, being like a fourteen- 
dollar cloth. My Cream-Pots are full in the body, chops deep 
in the flank, not quite as straight in the belly, nor as full in the 
twist, nor quite as thick in the thigh as the Durhams; but in 
other respects like them. They excel in affording a great 
quantity of rich cream, capable of being converted into butter 
in a short time, with little labor, and with a very small propor- 
tion of buttermilk, the cream producing more than eighty per 
cent. of butter. Ihave changed the cream to butter not unfre- 
quently in one minute, and it has been done in forty seconds.” 
The late lamented Henry Colman, while Commissioner for 
the Agricultural Survey of Mussachusetts, wrote as follows: 
“Mr. Jaques is entitled to great credit for his care and judi- 
cious selection in continuing and improving his stock. I have 
repeatedly seen the cream from his cows, and its yellowness 
and consistency are remarkable, and in company with several 
gentlemen of the Legislature, I saw a portion of it converted to 
butter with a spoon in one minute. The color of Mr. Jaques’ 
stock is a deep red, a favorite color in New England; they are 
well formed and thrifty on common feed; and if they continue 
to display the extraordinary properties by which they are now 
so distinguished, they promise to prove the most valuable race 
of animals ever known among us for dairy purposes, and equal 
to any of which we have any information.”
