As to tlic qualities of this cow for breeding. Her last calf 

 I have noW; which bids fair to be a cow such as her mother." 



Samuel Milleldn, Saco, rears grades of Ayrshire and Devon, 

 deeming them to " combine stock and milk properties in. high 

 degree;" also "Durhams, which he esteems for growth and 

 docility; steers, the progeny of a cross of Durham and Devon 

 with Native cows, he esteems " for toughness, superior color 

 and intelligence." 



Nathaniel Miilekin, Buxton, exhibited oxen from a cross of 

 Durham and Devon with Natives, which he esteems highly for 

 lurdihood and docility. 



Bradbury Atkinson, Saco, exhibited native cow kept on pas- 

 ture feed in summer, and hay and rough fodder in winter, yield- 

 ing ten quarts per day during the whole period in milk, and 

 thirteen quarts during June and July. 



Joseph Ilobson, Jr., showed milch cow with no extra keeping, 

 breed not given, averaging sixteen quarts per day during June 



and July. 



Rufus P. Tapley, Saco, regards the stock grown from the 

 '•'Challies" horse, sometimes called Black Morgan, as preferable 

 to any other in this vicinity, for extraordinary combination of 

 qualities, for speed and labor in the same animal, and being 

 easily broken to use. 



Israel Emmons thinks a breed "part Morgan and part 

 Arabian, good for travel, very kind, and cheaply kept." 



J. Marshall prefers Messenger breed " for size, docility, apt- 

 ness to learn, easily trained, good for work and for travel." 



Charles E. Storer, Saco, states of his boar named " Prince 

 Albert, of Berkshire breed, reared by Lord Scfton, imported 

 from England November, 1854, that it is perfectly kind, cheaply 

 kept, and very thrifty ; has served within the year seventy-six 

 sows; all his pigs very handsome." • 



S. J. Abbot states that the " Sumatra Pheasant Game" fowls, 

 "fed with corn and oats, produce the largest number of eggs 

 with the least expense." 



Statement of John Milleldn, Buxton. The fowl that I pre- 

 sent for your examination, consists of one old turkey and seven- 

 teen young ones, of the black kind. The young ones were 

 hatche-d about the 26th of June last, and have not been fed
