KENNEBEC COUNTY SOCIETY. 123 



First premium on pure Hereford cow, to Joseph H. Underwood 

 of Favette. 



The committee say that "no Devons were shown, but it will be 

 well for old Kennebec when many of them can be seen feeding upon 

 her hill-tops and in her valleys." 



Of grade animals, many fine specimens were shown of various 

 breeds. 



Sheep. J. 0. Wing of Winthrop, first premium on long wooled 

 buck and ewes, a cross of three-fourths Leceister and one-fourth 

 Cotswold.

Obadiah Whittief of Vienna, showed a fine South Down buck, 

 reared by Samuel Thorne of New York out of stock imported from 

 Jonas Webb; both its sire and dam having taken prizes at the Royal 

 Society's show in England. Cost $150. Weight of fleece at two 

 years, 10 pounds ; highly commended by the committee. 



Swine. Samuel Jackson of East Winthrop, first premium on 

 boar, for a White Chester, bred in Chester Co., Penn.
