ON MILCH COWS AND HEIFERS. 



The Committee on Milch Cows and Heifers, report : — 



That the number of Cows and Heifers was unusually large, and 

 they were apparently of a very superior quality. 



After much deliberation, the Committee agreed to award the pre. 

 miums as follows : 



To Abner Newhall, of Lynn, for his cow, 8 years old, the first 

 premium of $10. 



To A. Brackett Lord, of Beverly, for his cow, 8 years old, the 

 second premium of $7. 



To Samuel King, of Danvers, for his cow, 7 years old, the third 

 premium of $5. 



To John Stone, of Marblehead, for his stared cow, 9 years old, the 

 fourth premium of Colman's European Agriculture. 



There were other cows exhibited, which deserve particular notice, 

 viz : A cow by Albert Johnson, of Lynn, a very excellent cow, 

 though somewhat advanced in years, no statement. 



A cow by John Alley, 3d, of Lynn. This cow was entered prin- 

 cipally on account of the excellent quahcy and quantity of butter 

 made from her. 



Two large and fine cows by George Hood, of Lynn, neither in 

 milk at this time. All these added much to the beauty of the exhi- 

 bition of cows. 



E. G. Berry, of Danvers, exhibited two very fine three years old 

 Heifers ; and one two years old, now forward with calf. Of which, 

 a statement is given of the produce of those in milk, which was very 

 large for cows of that age. 



Jacob Newhall, of Saugus, exhibited his fine black heifer, three 

 years old, with a calf by her side twenty-two days old. It would 

 have given the Committee pleasure to have had Mr. Newhall's 

 heifer brought in competition with others, could ho have stated the 

 produce of her milk the present season, but they had no means of 

 judging of this, but from the appearance of the very fine calf by her 

 side. 



Only one milch heifer was entered for premium, which was by 

 Robert Kimball, of Ipswich, but the Committee did not feel them- 

 selves justified in awarding a premium on this, as no statement was 

 given as to the quantity and (iuaUt_y of the milk she produced.
