62 ON HEIFERS. 



The heifers in milk were good. Samples of butter were exhibited 

 to the Committee, which was of fine'o^uality. The statement of the 

 claimants will accompany the report-of the Committee. 



The heifers not in milk, were generally in high flesh, and many 

 were very handsome animals. But the Committee felt that their 

 duty required them to examine with reference to their qualities as 

 milkers, of which it is, undoubtedly, very difficult to judge from ap- 

 pearance, with certainty. 



After as careful examination as time would permit, the Committee 

 agree unanimously to award to the claimants, for the first class : 

 To David S. Caldwell, of Byfield^ the first premium of $7 00 



To Ammi Smith, of Hamilton, the second " 

 To Eben Putnam, of Danvers, the third " 



SECOND CLASS. 



To John Low, of Lynn, the first premium of 

 To Moses Newell, of West Newbury, the second premium of 

 To Joseph T. Haskell, of Beverly, the third ^ " 



To Josiah Crosby, of Andover, the fourth " 



THIRD CLASS. 



To Francis Dodge, of Danvers, the first premium of 

 To Richard P. Waters, of Beverly, the second " 

 To David S. Caldwell, of Byfield, the third " 

 To Richard Hawkes, of Saugus, the fourth *' 



A heifer calf, nine months old, was entered by Col. Poor, of the 

 Indian Hill Farm, for which he would have well deserved a premi- 

 um, had any premium been offered for such animals. It well sus- 

 tained the character of his stock, which have so often taken tha pre- 

 miums at our cattle shows. 



A very large and handsome two year old heifer was entered by 

 Dr. Kittredge, of Andover, which attracted the attention of the 

 Committee, but upon a more close examination, they judged her 

 marks for beef were more fully developed than for a milker. 



Respectfully submitted, 



DEAN ROBINSON, Chairman.
