152 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



Every foot of this twenty acres would become like a garden. 

 The cattle being overhead, with a little music from the bristled 

 tribe underneath, it would ever be kept so. Besides, the whole 

 county would be supplied with milk, and the walls of our 

 market-houses would soon be lined with rich stores of beef, the 

 most healthy of all meat the Creator is pleased to make for 

 man. 



CHARLES BRIGHAM, Chairman. 



Heifers. 



There were entered for premium and exhibition, of heifers 

 between two and three years old, twenty-four, and of heifers 

 three years old and upward, nine. Of heifers not less than one 

 and under two years, thirty-Jive, together with a respectable 

 rear-guard of heifer calves, for which no premiums were of- 

 fered. As a class, the portion of neat stock coming under our 

 notice, were of a superior quality, a large proportion of them 

 being well formed, of good size, and such as any good farmer 

 would consider an honor to his stock of cattle. 



From the beautiful appearance of the young stock this day 

 exhibited in the pens, we have promise of an increasing inter- 

 est in this part of the country, on the important subject of the 

 raising of stock, and a pledge that at our festivals in coming 

 years, the pens will be well filled, in every sense of the phrase, 

 by the beautiful animals gathered from the hills and valleys of 

 Worcester county. 



Milch Cows. 



Whole number entered for premium and exhibition, twenty. 

 The committee were unanimous in awarding the first premium 

 of the second class of premiums, to Wm. S. Lincoln, of Wor- 

 cester, for the three best cows, from a stock of not less than 

 five, two of which were raised by him, $17.
