EAST SOMERSET AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, 



Live Stock. 



Statement of Wentworth Williams. "I present one pair of 

 team liorses and a pair of calves. One liorse is part Morgan, and 

 the other from Messenger stock. I prefer the Morgan breed for 

 strength and beauty. The Messenger blood has the same gen- 

 eral qualities, but is not as intelligent and beautiful as the Mor- 

 gan. The Morgan horse, I understand, was raised by Asahel 

 Stetson of Palmyra, and the Messenger, by some person unknown 

 to me, in Fairfield. I keep them on hay and grain. I give 

 them twelve quarts of oats per day. Tliey are both kind in 

 disposition and fast walkers. I find the Morgans the most kind) 

 docile and quiet. 



" One of the calves is Hereford and the other Durham. I 

 prefer the Hereford breed of neat stock, as best built for 

 strength and durability, and making larger oxen. I raised them 

 myself. They had only common feed, were taken off the cows 

 at twelve weeks old. I then gave them two quarts of oats 

 night and morning up to this time. I find the Herefords the 

 most kind, docile and quiet. The cow was fed as usual, but 

 she had fi)ur quarts of potatoes a day for about two months 

 before calving."

 when first milked, and immediately add the rennet. Wlien 

 curdled, dip it out and drain oS" the whey, and scald it with 

 water. I then let it stand till it is cold, then cut it up and salt 

 it, when it is ready for the press. After it is pressed, rub it
