To the Committee on Horses, 



Gentlemen, — The mare entered for premium by 

 the subscriber was raised by him, — was born in the 

 year 1834, and is now 5 years old. Her keeping 

 has always been very ordinary. In the summer, she 

 has been in a common pasture ; without having any 

 access to better feed in the fields in autumn. Dur- 

 ing winter season, she has had nothing but common 

 hay, and has never had grain of any kind as a portion 

 of her food. Very respectfully, 



Byfield, Sept. 1839. JOHN NORTHEND.
