Plough used by Mr. Foster ; the Doe Plough used by Mr. 

 Ordway, being lighter, was easily thrown out of the furrow 

 by small stones, thereby making a loss of time in backing the 

 team, besides causing harder work for the holder of the 

 plough. 



JOHN DANFORTH, Jr., for the Committee. 



PLOUGHING — WITH HORSES. 



The Committee on Ploughing with Horses report as fol- 

 lows : 



There were four entries made for ploughing. They award 

 the first premium of $8 to Otis F. Putnam of Danvers ; sec- 

 ond premium of $6 to Jacob & J. L. Farnham, of North An- 

 dover ; third premium of $3 to Wm. P. Buttrick, of Haver- 

 hill.

 Parker, Roger Battrick, Committee. 



DAIRY. 



The Committee present were — Joseph How, James Cham- 

 berlain, John A. Putnam, David S. Caldsvell, James Nayson 

 and Nathaniel Lambert — a goodly number, and (aside from 

 the Chairman) efficient men. 



There were twenty-one samples of Butter to be examined, 

 and the most of it proved to be of superior quality — some of 

 it nearly perfect.
