BROOKFIELD TOWN ASSOCIATION. 



Brookfie.vDj I2t/i January, I8b3, 

 JB. P. Johnson, Esq. : 



Sir — Below please see a statement from our town organization, 

 denominated the Brookfield Agricultural society. 



The annual fair and cattle show of our society, for 1852, was 

 held at Clarkville, September 29th and 30th. The days were 

 beautiful, and the number of people in attendance very large, 

 gathered from the hills and dales of our own and all the adjoin- 

 ing towns, indicating a lively interest in the cause our society 

 was organized to advance. 



The society is in a flourishing condition, and the recent im- 

 provement in the appearance of many farms about town indicates 

 a good work begun, proving to the satisfaction of our prominent 

 citizens, the value of such an organization. 



The show of horses was acknowleged to be decidedly fine from 

 our own town, and the eifect of this part of the exliihition was 

 heightened by some fine horses from out of town. 



The show of neat stock was extensive and excellent for a town 

 society, among which was some of the stock that was awarded 

 first and second premiums at the State fair. This part of the 

 exhibition was also heightened by the exhibition of some very fine 

 stock from out of town. 



The exhibition of sheep and swine though not so extensive, 

 contained some very excellent representatives of their kind.
