Jerseys, . 133 



There are other animals of Jersey stock owned in Hingham, 

 and other towns, of which we have no special knowledge, but 

 hope to obtain report hereafter. There are many other very 

 high grades in Hingham, the Bridgewaters, and some of the 

 southerly towns in the county. Perhaps it would be more accu- 

 rate to state that some of the animals enumerated as owned by 

 Jonathan Howard and Colonel Macomber are graded as high 

 as ||- of Jersey blood. Mr. Isaac Robbins, of Abington, in 

 addition to his pure-bloods, has some very fine Jersey and 

 Shorthorn crosses. 



Shorthorns. 



We know of but one Shorthorn bull in the county, owned by 

 Mr. Thomas M. Nelson, of Lakeville. Baxter Cobb, of Abing- 

 ton, has two Shorthorn cows ; John Lincoln, of Hingham, one 

 cow and calf; David Whiton, of Hingham, one cow; Mrs. 

 Eben Gay, one cow. 



Dutch. 



Thomas H. Clark, of Plympton, has a Dutch bull, from Mr. 

 Chenery's importation. 



Devons. 



Nahum M. Tribou, of Middleborough, owns two Devon cows. 

 Although his herd had previously been quite large, and he has 

 been a breeder of Devons for many years, they do not seem to 

 have increased in this county, nor to be in demand in the State. 

 Mr. Tribou has a high graded Jersey bull. F. E. Howard, of 

 West Bridgewater, has a Devon heifer ; Charles W. Cushing, 

 of Hingham, has four cows and one bull ; David Whiton, of 

 Hingham, one cow. 



Kerry Stock. 

 Charles G. Davis, of Plymouth, has a Kerry bull and cow, 

 and some grade Kerry calves ; and Zenas M. Lane, of East
