. The Report of the Transactions of the Wisconsin State Agi'icultural Society 

 for the Year 1851, together with the Abstract of the Correspondence of the 

 Secretary for the same time, will, it is beheved, be deemed of interest and 

 vahie by the Citizens of this State generally. 



As the furnishing of the several Papers enclosed has been entirely gratuitous, 

 and as the Society has received no pecuniary aid from any source aside from 

 its own members, it is hoped that its eflbrts to advance the great fundamental 

 interest of the State will be met with that kindness and appreciation which it 

 so justly demands. 



The interest which has been so generally manifested in the labors of the 

 Society, during its first year of existence, will, it is presumed, induce a careful 

 examination of the present volume; and should it be found useful, in the 

 advancement of Agricultural improvement, the wishes of the Executive Com- 

 mittee will be fully met. 



To those gentlemen who have so kindly responded to the calls made upon 

 them, the thanks of the Society are most cordially tendered. 



ALBERT d. INGHAM.
