The commission was represented by George Blight and Willis P. Hazard, and part of the time by Captain J. C. Morris, of Susquehanna county, at the request of Thomas J. Edge, secretary of the State Board. Mr. Reeder, not having made in his report any statements of the quality of the milk, except as regards the yield in butter, has sent the commission the following condensed statement of what each cow gave on May 20: No. 1, Belle, 10 quarts. No. 2, Topsy, 14 ” No. 3, Firefly, 12 ” No. 4, Isabelle, 8 ” No. 5, Marian, 14 ” No. 6, Urania, 12 ” No. 7, Florentia, 10 ” No. 8, Paunacussing, 8 ” No. 9, Lady Delaware, 6 ” -- Total for nine cows, 94 ” == Yield of the herd, May 20, 94 quarts. Yield of the herd in seven days, 658 ” Butter in seven days, 67 pounds. Quantity of milk to one pound of butter, 9 55/67 qts. This statement of the number of quarts required to make a pound of butter from Jersey and Guernsey stock, it will be seen, carries out the conclusions of the commission, who estimated the quality of this herd, as well fed and not too long milked stock of these breeds should give a pound of butter to every nine quarts of milk. “Having been present at the examination of my herd by the State Guenon Commission, on Saturday, June 1, 1878, and having since examined their report by the original record made on the spot by them, and compared it with my account of the herd, handed to Mr. J. S. Williams, May 21, or more than one week before they made the examination, I do certify that the accompanying report is correct and true. EASTBURN REEDER, _New Hope, Bucks county, Pa._” RABBIT RUN FARM, _June 15, 1878_. “I certify that Eastburn Reeder handed me his account of his herd ten days before the examination was made by the State Guenon Commission; that I was present with others at the examination; that the two reports were compared in the presence of a number, shortly after the examination, and were generally satisfactory; and that I have now examined the accompanying reports by the two original records, made at separate times as above mentioned, and have found them correct and true copies of said original records.
