172 HAMPSHIRE, FRANKLIN, AND 



His precise breed is three parts Durham, and the remainder 

 native. His symmetry is so nearly perfect, that it would savor 

 more of invidiousness than fine discrimination to attempt to 

 point out any faults. 



The second premium of ^6 was awarded to Paoli Lathrop, 

 of South Hadley Falls, for his fine animal of the Durham 

 breed. 



The third premium of $4 to John L. Clark, of Northamp- 

 ton. This is also a Durham. 



Steers. — Among the two-year olds, were sr pair of very fine 

 Durham steers belonging to Hervey Judd, of South Hadley, 

 weighing 2870 pounds. 



Such steers as these rarely gratify the eyes of the farmer. 

 There were also three pairs highly deserving of special notice, 

 belonging to Mr. May of Conway, comprising one yoke four 

 years old, weighing 3670 pounds, one pair, three years old, 

 weighing 3240 pounds, and one pair of two years old, weighing 

 2442 pounds. 



The committee award the first premium of $6, to Hervey 

 Judd, of South Hadley. 



The second, of $4, to Cephas May, of Conway. 



Cows AND Heifers. — Of cows and heifers in milch, there 

 was a good show. No fewer than twenty were on exhibition. 

 Many statements were made. This is absolutely necessary to 

 enable the committee properly to discharge their functions. 



The committee award the first premium of $8 to W. A. 

 Arnold, for his cow. She is a very valuable animal, yielding 

 in three weeks, forty-nine pounds of butter, being a weekly 

 average of upwards of sixteen pounds. 



The second premium of $7, to Samuel Bartlett, of Hatfield. 



The third of $6, to John W. Wilson, of Northampton. 



The beautiful Hereford heifer, two years and nine months 

 old, presented by Dr. Daniel Thompson, well deserves the pre- 

 mium awarded to her ; and the eight yearling animals, offered 

 by Benjamin Coit, of Norwich, yield much credit to their 

 breeder, as also does the beautiful heifer, thirteen months old, 

 presented by T. G. Huntington, of Hadley.
