Book Description

Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Maine Board of Agriculture, 1863 The degree of cold to which an animal is exposed has a very marked influence upon its condition, as may be shown by actual trial. For this purpose I desire to introduce some observations, (they hardly deserve to be called experiments, ) made upon my own herd of neat stock during the past year. The herd con sisted of twenty-three animals, viz four oxen, working about half the time; eight cows, giving milk as indicated in the table; two heifers, two years old coming three; five yearlings, coming two; four calves, coming one.
