From the Report of the Committee. 



We found in the " pens," this year, an unusually large and a 

 most excellent collection of milch cows ; we were rejoiced at 

 this sight, for we believe that of all the various animals, 

 whether quadruped or biped, that go to make up a complete 

 stock for the farm, the milk-giving portion are the most useful, 

 beautiful and indispensable. 



In addition to the great number of cows offered for premium, 

 there were some very noble animals sent for exhibition, by 

 Gorham Brooks, Esq., of Medford, and by S. G. Wheeler, Esq., 

 of Concord, which added much to the interest of the fair, and 

 for which favor, these gentlemen deserve the thanks of the 

 society. 



In conclusion, the committee would express their sense of 

 the wisdom of that arrangement, peculiar to the present, which 

 gives a separate day for the committees to make their exami- 

 nations. We hope it will be continued.
