STEERS. 



The Committee on Steers report two pairs yearling steers 

 entered for premium. 



Tliey award the first premium of $4, to Joseph Kittredge, of 

 No. Andover, and the second premium of 83, to George James, 

 of Gloucester. 



The steers of Dr Kittredge attracted muc]i attention. Tliey 

 were perfectly handy, and under better discipline than one half 

 the oxen at five years old. They were driven by a boy of Dr. 

 Kittredge with a small cart, who had handled the steers and 

 showed the Committee tliat he knew how to drive oxen. The 

 advantage of making these steers handy Avhen so young is not 

 only to the steers, but to the boy who handled them also. He 

 has learned liow to drive oxen, which is of vast importance to 

 him as a farmer. The Doctor informed the Committee that 

 they were thorough-bred Durhams, and no doubt if they are 

 kindly used and well fed, they will make a large pair of oxen.
