WORCESTER SOCIETY. 49 



tinuance of the thorough breed is necessary to the improvement 

 of our native stock. Let them take advantage of the opportu- 

 nity thus presented them of engrafting upon their native breed 

 properties which all good judges have decided that the foreign 

 breed possess, and our fields, at no distant day, will present a 

 still more delightful spectacle. The dairy maid will call for 

 more pans, the good woman will send off an increased number 

 of rolls of golden-colored butter, every week, to market ; the 

 shambles will be studded with larger and heavier quarters of 

 beef; and, what is better than all, the farmer will have more 

 dollars to shell out when his sons and daughters get married, 

 or when the knock of the poor and unfortunate is heard at his 

 door.

Bulls under One Year Old. 



The committee report that the number presented for premi- 

 ums was unusually small, being only six, but the quality of the 

 few presented was excellent. They award the first premium 

 to Moses Gill, of Princeton. His calf is six months old, native 

 breed, from a two year old heifer, has had only his mother's 

 milk, she feeding only on grass, weighs 600 lbs, and is extremely 

 well proportioned. The second premium they award to Moses 

 Ayres, of New Braintree, for his bull calf, 7 months old, 5-8th 

 Durham and 3-8th native, nursed only an ordinary cow, not 

 his dam, weighs 610 lbs, and is well proportioned. The third 

 premium to M. Gill, of Princeton, for his bull calf 4| months 

 old, native breed, dam an uncommonly good milker, nursed by 

 an ordinary cow, weighs 511 lbs., is a calf of good promise. A 

 first rate bull calf 3 months and 13 days old, weight 616 lbs., 

 1-2 Durham, belonging to Oliver Barret, of Bolton, was entered 

 too late for a premium.
