28 NORTH PENOBSCOT SOCIETY. 



the Society. Suggestions from abroad might assist very much to 

 settle the matter. 



Sheep husbandry is claiming the attention of our farmers. New 

 and improved breeds are being introduced, and a determination is 

 manifested to at least manufacture our own cloth, having hereto- 

 fore fallen very far short of it. One discouraging feature still 

 remains, wolves and dogs. Within the past week we have lost 

 from our flock five nice sheep by wolves. Some few years since 

 we lost twenty-seven in one season. But still we shall keep 

 trying. 



Shepard Bean, Secretary.
