ON FAT CATTLE. 



The Committee on Fat Cattle (present — W. Merrill of Danvcrs, 

 Jesse Sheldon of Beverly, C. H. Holmes of Topsfield, and Joseph 

 Newell of West Newbury) Report : 



That one pair of cattle were presented by Mr. Joseph Towne, of 

 Topsfield. These cattle had done the work on a farm of more than 

 one hundred acres, and had received no extra feed for the purpose of 

 fattening them. They were in very good condition, and in the 

 opinion of the Committee had done extraordinarily well for their 

 feed. The Committee could not place them in the first class of fat 

 cattle ; but they recommend an award of ten dollars to their OAvner, 

 for the pair of cattle. 



For the Committee, 



WINGATE MERRILL.
