To Allen W. Dodge, Esq. 



ON SHEEP. 



The Committee on Sheep ask leave to Repokt : 



That only one entry was made in this department, viz : that of 

 seven sheep and two lambs, by Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, On 

 examination, they found the lot to consist, as they judged, of six 

 sheep and seven very fine lambs. Some of the sheep were, in the 

 opinion of the committee, excellent, and the others of fair quality. 

 Taking the lambs with the sheep, which the committee felt author- 

 ized to do, they found a sufficient number of very fine animals to 

 entitle Dr. Kittredge to the first premium of seven dollars ; and they 

 recommend that it be so awarded. 



For the Committee.
