Mr Fessende:*. — I enclose an extract of a letter 

 received by me from a gentleman in the Country, 

 which suggests considerations which I think are 

 well worthy of the attention of the Agricultural 

 Societv, with that view I s:ibmit it liirough your 

 useful paper to their notice. H. 



Roxbnry, Sept. 20, 1826. 



" As the Agricultural .Society nre yearly giving 

 considerable Premiums for the best raised Cattle, 

 Woiild it not, I ask,tend greaily to the furtheiance 

 of that object, for the Society to place bulls of the 

 best breed in a feu- convenient places, of which 

 farmers with their best cows could avail them- 

 selves, to propagate and raise the finest cattle ? 



"Th-^re are, I am a wire, hulls of this description 

 in some ;)laces, but tiiey are owned by individuals, 

 and few farmers are disposed to incur at some 

 risk an expense of from five to ten dollars, which 

 I li _-uove i.^ ilip price eracte-l. I am not umppris- 

 e ; th;.t the step here suggested ought, if adopted, 

 to bo attend- ' by somt special provisions, such as 

 that the ca)f be alway? raised — that the Society 

 )iave the ri.'ht of ii bull calf to purch.T^e it at two 

 yo-rs_o!d at aspgcine-i price — together with such 

 ot'.er provision^ ;•,.< ni'.y appear necessary to pro- 

 mote the object aiiivd at. By these n^eans there 

 would be many bull ctilves raised, so tliat in a few 

 years every team would be amply pro<id,^d and the 

 increase of fine can!i> be much greater than can 

 be now looked, for or e.tpected."
