in the JOURNAL concerning herd OF
Jersey cows belonging to Mr.. NJ. Y.
Tildcn OF this place. Mr.. Tilden has,
during the summer kept an account of the
number Of pounds of milk given by each
COW from which we obtain the following
From his Hillside herd consisting of four
teen head in milk-six four years old and
upward, seven heifers two and three
years old, the first time in milk, and one
tarrow. For the month OF June their
yield OF milk has averaged $40 pounds
per day a trihe over % pounds each, and
has produced AN average Of pounds and
) ounces of butter per week TO each an
imal. Considering so many are young
and running in pasture without extra
feed we think this is doing extraordinary.
Mr.. Tildcn says, from frequent trials, he
has found quarts fair average for a
pound of butter; and the milk of his eel.

over six is all that is required. We will
here mention that this COW made in II
days 80 ll-l6 pounds of butter. HiF
