the best Herd. The Committee also regret very much that 

 there were not other Herds of Milch Cows entered for premium. 



Mr. Francis Dane entered for premium five pure Jersey Cows, 

 which were fine specimens of that breed. Their keeping since 

 June has been grass, and their appearance indicates that they 

 have had enough of it. They have averaged ten quarts of 

 rich milk each per day, and from forty-five to fifty pounds of 

 butter per week, through the season of grass. 



We award to Francis Dane, of Hamilton, the first premium, 

 diploma and $15. 



Committee — Horace C. Ware, Salem ; Charles Perley, Box-
