134 YOTLK COUNTY SOCIETY. 



Elislia Iliglit of Saco, offered one very fine fatted hog, about ten 

 months old, judged to weigh, when dressed, four hundred pounds, 

 the owner stating that he had cost him about twelve cents per day 

 to fat him, and has gained two pounds per day since he has kept 

 him. If this be the fact, we don't see any good reason why we are 

 asked sixteen cents per pound for swine's meat. 



We award Mr. Hight the first premium. 



Seth Scamman of Saco, offered five pigs as being the best litter, 

 part of the native, and part of the Sufiolk breed. They were very 

 fine pigs, showing conclusively to our minds, the truthfulness of what 

 the owner states, that it was no use to cheat the pigs. We award 

 to him the first premium on pigs. 



Samuel Milliken of Saco, presented seven fine pigs, of the Suffolk, 

 Grass and Berkshire breed, very docile, for which we give the 

 second premium. 



There were aho other lots of swine entered. One of seventeen 

 in number, by Frederick Beach of Saco, of nice, large size, fatting 

 hogs. 



Another by Benj. W. Bobbins of Biddeford, four and one half 

 months old, from Columbia county, New York ; as the society has 

 offered no premium for such lots of hogs and shoats as these, your 

 Committee could not feel justified in awarding premiums to them." 



On Horses, Entire, Working, &;c. 



The Committee on Horses report, one by Timothy Tarbox of 

 Buxton, called " Black Hawk," jet black, five years old, said to 

 weigh 1,G86 lbs., appeared to be of good disposition and kind, but 

 wanted training ; this horse had many good points about him, was 

 raised on the Kennebec, kept in Cumberland county last season and 

 in Buxton, (this county) this season for a stock horse. This horse 

 is said to be after the old Black Hawk, out of a Morgan mare. 



Albert Whitney, Saco, enters for the best Stallion. "Is a cross 

 of Morgan and English, the Dam was a Morgan and the Sire a cross 

 of the English," said to be five years old, is a good chesnut color 

 with beautiful, fine, short, glossy hair, very round and nicely made, 

 good spirits, fleet, and is well calculated for a good business horse. 

 This horse was raised in Oxford county, has been kept in Saco, the 

 past season for a let and stock horse.
