No. 108. J 35 



weight, 1,800 pounds; of the larger class of animals; average quan 

 tity of milk, twenty-eight quarts per day; grass fed, with the excep- 

 tion of a little swill from the house; of a breed highly to be appre- 

 ciated; first premium, silver cup. 



To the red cow presented by Josiah Purdy of Westchester, eight 

 years old; of fine form; gives at the present time, twenty quarts of 

 rich milk; grass fed solely; second premium, silver medal. 



To the roan cow presented by George D. Small of New-Jersey, 

 six years old; small in size, but of good qualities for a milch cow; 

 with ordinary keeping as per statement of the owner, and in the opin- 

 ion of your committee, merits a diploma. 



There was also on the ground a white cow with a calf by her side, 

 six weeks old; tinctured with the Herefordshire breed, with several 

 good milking properties. 



The bull " Red Boy," of deep cherry red, Durham and Devon- 

 shire intermixed, four years old; and in the opinion of your commit- 

 tee, well adapted to our dairies for stock; first premium, silver cup. 



The bull calf four months old, remarkably full in every point, of 

 a deep cherry red, presented by Bethuel Brocket of Connecticut; 

 richly meriting a silver medal. 



One pair working oxen presented by John Todd, North-Haven, 

 Conn., deep cherry red, five years old, perfectly broke, we may well 

 say, nearly so in action and looks; the weight of each, 1,605 and 

 1,600 pounds; first premium, gold medal. 



One pair of working oxen presented by John B. Davis, six years 

 old; superior in color to the five years old to which we have award- 

 ed the first premium; also greater in action and speed from length of 

 limb and lightness of body, possessing in a high degree every pro- 

 perty to be sought for in a pair of working cattle; w^ell deserving the 

 second premium; silver cup. 



One pair of four year old steers or working cattle presented by 

 John Hubbard of Guilford, Conn., which have drawn and backed an 

 ox cart with 4,500 pounds stone at the New-Haven County Show; 

 color fine red, with crooked face, of uncommon size; average girth of 

 the pair, seven feet; of great promise for fancy work or the stall* 

 third premium, silver cup. 



One pair of twin steers presented by the above named person, very 

 compact in form, of a rich color, hardly a shade inferior to the crook- 

 ed face steers; to which we recommend a silver medal. 



One pair three year old bulls of the Durham breed, presented by 

 Wm. K. Townsend of East-Haven, Conn., well trained to the yoke, 

 having done well the work of a heavy yoke of cattle during the past 

 season, without in the least impairing them for the use for which 

 they were intended; for which we highly recommend a silver me- 

 dal. 



In conclusion, your committee would say, that we are more than 

 ever convinced of the great advantage to be derived from the inter- 

 mixture of the foreign and native breeds of cattle, by happily uniting 

 the good qualities of both, in color, form, size, and we might add,
