have animals of promise, and a practice pursued that shall 

 remedy the evil. 



All of which is respectfully submitted,

Dairy Cows. 



The committee upon dairy cows would respectfully re- 

 port : — 



That for the best dairy of cows, not less than six in number, 

 they award the first premium, of $10, to Samuel Ellsworth, of 

 Barre. The precise requisitions of the society were not com- 

 plied with in this case in one respect. But your committee 

 were of unanimous opinion that these cows were well worthy 

 of the premium, and as they came in competition with no 

 others, in point of numbers, they had less hesitation in regard 

 to the want of compliance with a single printed rule of the 

 society. No other lot of cows was offered for premium. 



For the best single cow they award the premium of $5 to 

 John Bemis, of Barre, for his four years old live-eighths Dur- 

 ham cow. 



Also, to John Bemis, the second premium, of $3, for his 

 eight years old one-fourth Durham cow. 



The above were the only single cows entered for exhibition — 

 for premiums. 



A very fine cow was exhibited by George H. Lee ; also, two 

 fine animals by Calvin Sanford. 



Respectfully submitted by the committee, 



William Mixter, Chairman. 



Samuel Ellsworih^s Statement. 



I certify to the following facts, as to the weight of milk 

 daily received from six cows, one of which I exhibit, agreeable 

 with the regulations of the society. 



The cow, Georgianna, five years old, one-half Durham, calved 

 the 1st of May; with calf again in March; was dry, during 

 the last winter, six weeks, calf very fine, and sold for veal.
