160 N. H. STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



TliouG;ht red cattle dressed rather handsomer than white 

 ones, the beef being of a richer color. 



Mr. Richardson, of Lyndeboro', thought favorably of 

 the cross of Devon and Durham. Had a Devon bull a few 

 years before. His calves were worth, at six weeks old, a 

 dollar apiece more to slaughter than those sired by a 

 common or ordinary bull. 



Mr. Manning, of Bedford, spoke favorably of the Devons 

 and Durhams. He attended the Agricultural Provincial 

 Fair of Canada West ; saw some Devon bulls of extra size, 

 also some of the best Durhams he had ever seen. He 

 spoke of a mammoth cheese on exhibition, weighing twelve 

 hundred pounds — the dairy product of one hundred and 

 five cows for four days. He spoke of a cow he had known 

 in Chelmsford, Mass., that gave fourteen quarts per day, for 

 eight consecutive months. The cow was supposed to be a 

 cross of the native and Ayrshire. 



Remarks were also made by Messrs. Sanderson and 

 Haydcn, of Hollis, Messrs. Chase and Whitney, of Milford, 

 and others.
