AND HORTICULTURAL JOURNAL. 



Ill 



liictori]}' correct, were those of Thomas B. Eaton, 

 Nathl. Stowoll and Joel Marble, Joua. Knight, 

 Ephraim Childs of Worcester, VVm. Eager of 

 Nortliborough. 



For tlie best Milch Cow not less than four 

 years old, and from a stock of not less than five 

 cows the Committee recommend the society's first 

 Iiremium of $15, to be awarded to Mr Eager for 

 his red cow, 1-8 Durham breed. 



The second premium of $10, to 3Ir Eaton. 



The third premium of $8 to Messrs Stowell 

 and fllarhle. 



The fourth premium of $6 to Mr Knight. 



The Committee beg leave to commend to the 

 special and favorable regard of the Society, the 

 interests of the dairy and the dairyman. They 

 need not say that good butter and cheese are ne- 

 cessary for good living — they are rather necessa- 

 ry in order to live at all. Come what may, we 

 must have these articles — and that too fresh 

 from the dairy. We may import almost every- 

 thing, but save ns from imported butter and 

 cheese. The dairy too, is worthy of the first 

 consideration, as a source of unfailing income to 

 the farmer. Your Committee believe that there 

 is no class of agriculturists in the county whose 

 tlirift is so marked and sure as that of the dairy- 

 men of Barre, N. Braiiitree, Westboro', and other 

 grazing towns. Their farms are a source of in- 

 come of two, four, and six hundred dollars a year. 

 And nothing but a policy which would depopu- 

 late the Commonwealth, can deprive them of their 

 well deserved living.
