Bulls under one year old. 



Nine different animals were offered for examination. The 

 committee unanimously recommend to the officers of this society, 

 that no premiums hereafter be offered for any cattle under twelve 

 months old. They believe it would be much better to give 

 larger premiums for older animals. The reason which the com- 

 mittee present for this alteration in the practice of the society, 

 is, that, prior to the age of one year, no animal is so fully and 

 perfectly developed, in its form and figure, as to enable one to 

 judge, satisfactorily, as to its real merits, and the qualities it 

 Avill possess at maturity.
