Like Pascal said, you probably want to use the zoo/xts time series
classes, but if you have reason to stick to ts() you can set the
frequency to 365. I've written on this list before that "frequency" is
a slightly subtle idea with time series (and you can find that post if
you're interested), but it's not hard-coded to anything in particular.
