In the above account will be noticed a few with the mark * which Mr.
Harvey said indicates that the amount of milk given and the quality was
largely increased by extra feeding.
“I was present at the examination of our herd of Guernseys,
Jerseys, and grades, by the Guenon Commission, on the eleventh
of fifth month, 1878, and I have examined their report and
compared it with the originals written on the spot, (the
contents of which were before now unknown to me,) and I
testify to the annexed report being an accurate copy of the
opinions recorded by them at the time of examination. The
statements made by me were handed to members of the commission
on twenty-first instant, and are as nearly accurate as my own
knowledge, and that of the persons who had the immediate care
of the herd, and an interest in the proceeds of the dairy,
could make them.
THOS. M. HARVEY.”
WEST GROVE, _27th of 5th month, 1878_.
“Having had the immediate care of the herd of Thomas M. Harvey,
and an interest in the proceeds of the dairy for six years, and
being well acquainted with the merits of each member of the
herd, I can certify that the statements we have made to the
Guenon Commission are correct to the best of our knowledge and
belief, and were made more than a week after the commission
had recorded their opinions; which opinions were unknown to
us until the present time. I have also compared the record of
opinions herewith with the originals, and find them to be a
correct transcript of them.
CLARKSON MOORE.”
“Having had the immediate care of the herd within alluded to,
and an interest in the proceeds thereof for the past eleven
months, I can certify that I united with Clarkson Moore in
making the statement relative to the quality and productiveness
of the cows examined by the Guenon commission. I was from home
when they were here, and knew nothing of their opinions when we
made up our statement.
ZEBEDEE HAINES.”
_Fifth month, 28th, 1878._
“I was present on Saturday, March 11, 1878, at the farm of
Thomas M. Harvey, when the examination of that portion of
his herd was made by the Guenon Commission, from Nos. 10 to
25, inclusive, of their report. I have compared the original
recorded opinions of the commission with the report herewith,
and find the latter correct.
N. J. SHARPLES,
_President of the Experimental Farm Club_.”
