146 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



Note. — I subjoin, as matter of interest, a condensed statement of the produce of 

 the dairies of the several competitors. Whence this wide difference in the amount of 

 return of this branch of husbandry ? Is it from superiority in the animals ? from the 

 better quality of pasture ? or from greater skill or better management in the dairy ? 

 or from all combined ? The inquiry becomes important ; since the difference in the 

 yield per head is sufficient to render the business barely remunerative in the hands of 

 one, highly profitable under the management of another.
