During fourteen days of this time she averaged 5 gallons per day, and on pno day she gave 51 gallons. The total amount of milk given in the 90 days was 41S gallons and 1 pint From this amount of milk 13" pounds of butter was made. The cow is half Durham, of medium size, and weighs 044 pounds live weight. She has been giving miik since the 1st day of.June. 1875. with tha exception of a short interval last year, and still holds up in the quantity of milk she yields This shows the advantage of keeping one cow properly, instead of half dozen or so in the ordiniry way.
