26 ON MILCH COWS AND HEIFERS. 



There were some other valuable cows exhibited by William 

 MacKinstry, Charles Nelson and David Rogers. 



They have awarded the first premium for Heifers to Hector 

 Coffin of Newbury, for his 3 year old heifei' *' Fairy," — seven 

 dollars. 



They have awarded the second premium to Anthony Chase 

 of Haverhill, for his red two year old heifer, five dollars, which 

 constitute all the premiums offered by the Society. 



There were many other very valuable heifers exhibited which 

 did not come within the rule, and which we hope will be com- 

 petitors another year. We will name some of them, Gyles M. 

 Jaques' two heifers together with his cow constituted a very rich 

 pen of animals. 



Aaron Crumby's heifer was very superior. Jesse Shelden, 

 Moses Colman, Samuel Hood, Thomas B. Spofford, exhibited 

 very promising heifers. The account handed to the committee 

 by Hector Coffin of the pedigree of his heifers is very commen- 

 dable, it evinces a deep interest in the cause, which we are 

 very happy to witness.
