Mr. Doe says he has uo fancy breeds ; feeds on corn and buck- 

 wheat, principally; keeps clear water by them, and thinks no stock 

 pays so well for liberal feeding and care as hens. In above no 

 account is made of eggs used in the family, which at times has 

 been liberal.

 ford, took the first premium for "horse of all work" ; William 0. 

 Haines of Saco, for a stallion ; Nathan Hanson, for best breeding 

 mare ; Samuel Chase of Saco, Henry Bufl'um of North Berwick,

 Decring and H. P. Hill, for yearling colts.
