 Newbury, Sept. 28, 1831." 



Josiali G. Tyler of Bradford offered the same valuable cow 

 which last year received the second premium of the Society as 

 a milch cow. Having received the second premium on that 

 occasion she was disqualified for any but the first premium or 

 this, for which another was preferred. This cow since the first 

 of April has produced as per the owner's account, one hundred 

 and fifty four and three-quarter pounds of butter ; and in the 

 second week in June, seven days, she yielded one hundred 

 and twenty six quarts of milk, beer measure, equal to an 

 average of eighteen quarts per day for that time. 



There were no heifers in milk, wdiich came within the condi- 

 tions on which the premiums of the society were offered. There 

 were several promising heifers presented, which were not in 

 milk. 



A heifer, three years old, which brought her first calf the first 

 of July, belonging to Ralph H, Chandler, and now giving from 

 eight to nine quarts per day, though of a small sized breed, is in 

 the opinion of the Committee deserving of the notice of the 

 Society ; and they recommend a gratuity of four dollars to the 

 owner. 



For a very likely heifer belonging to Ebenezer Jenkins of 

 Andover, in milk about five weeks, your Committee recommend 

 a gratuity of three dollars. 



For a promising heifer belonging to Samuel Hood of To])s- 

 field, sixteen months old, your Committee rcconmiend a gratuity 

 of two dollars. 



Your Committee have to regret that in respect to several 

 animals in the pens no person was present to give an account ;
