ON SWINE. 



The Committee on Swine having attended to the duties assigned 

 them, Report : 



The whole number of Swine entered for premium, was sixteen, 

 viz: 



One Boar, by Thomas E. Payson, of Rowley. 



One do. 9 1-2 months old, (full blood supposed,) by William 

 G. Lake, of Topsfield. 



One do. by Joseph Kittredge, of Andover. 



One Pig, sixteen weeks old, by T. E. Haskell, of Beverly. 



One do. by Henry Poor, of Andover. 



One do. by Hiram L. Newhall, of Lynnfield. 



One Breeding Sow, three years old, and five Weaned Pigs, five 

 months, twenty-seven days old, by Hiram L. Newhall, of Lynnfield. 



Two Weaned Pigs, five months old, by Thomas G. Dodge, of 

 Newburyport. 



Two do. do. thirteen weeks old, by Peter Obear of Beverly. 



One do. do. by John Stone, Jr., of Marblehead. 



Your Committee having examined the animals presented to their 

 notice, with as much care as the short time allowed them would ad- 

 mit, have awarded the following premiums, viz : 

 To William G. Lake, of Topsfield, for his Suffolk Boar, 



the first premium of $5 00 



To Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, the second premium of 3 00 

 To Hiram L. Newhall, of Lynnfield, for the best breeding 



sow, the first premium of 5 00 



To Hiram L. Newhall, of Lynnfield, for the best litter of 



Weaned pigs, the first premium of 6 00 



To Thomas G. Dodge, of Newburyport, for the best Wean- 

 ed Pig, the first premium of 4 00 

 To John Stone, Jr., of Marblehead, for a Weaned Pig, 



(Chester breed) the second premium of 2 00 



Your Committee regret that there were but two premiums for each 

 class of animals at their disposal, as it was not easy to discriminate 

 between animals so nearly alike. 



For the Committtee, 



Salem, Sept 27, 1849. LEWIS ALLEN.
