ON SWINE. 41 



Your Committee were highly gratified with a very large pair 

 of four years old oxen, presented by E. St S. Follansbee, of 

 West Newbury. They were also much pleased with two pairs 

 of five months old Calves, presented by Jonathan Kimball, of 

 Bradford, perfectly trained to the yoke and cart. They would 

 recommend a gratuity of two dollars.

ON SWINE. 



The Committee appointed to examine the Swine, entered for 

 premium, consisting of Moses Newell, James Carey, James 

 Ferguson, and William W. Little, report : — 



That there were but two animals of this description exhibited. 

 One, a boar pig, 5 mo. 23 days old, by Wrn. Thurlow, of W. 

 Newbury. The other, a boar pig, 4 mo. 21 days old, by Jos. 

 Pearson, of West Newbury. They were both superior animals 

 of the kind. 



They award to William Thurlow the 1st premium, ^5 00 

 " to Joseph Pear^n the 2d " 3 00 



When we take Into view the many advantages the farmer ex- 

 periences from feeding this class of animals, and having them 

 upon his premises, and the great difference of value, between 

 those of the best breeds and those of ordinary quality, it is sur- 

 prising that so little interest should be manifested, bj those 

 whose highest pride it is to be deemed good farmers, as not to 

 make a better exhibition of Swine than we have this day wit- 

 nessed. Should these premiums be continued, we hope they 

 will never again want claimants. 



For the Committee,
