By the favor of the Agricultural Commissioner, r .who has hereto- 

 fore done so much for the benefit of the farmers of Essex, I am per- 

 mitted to include in our annual pamphlet, his report of the remarks 

 of Messrs. Webster and Silliman, at the\.\gricultural Meeting, in 

 Boston. Knowing that there could be no higher sources of infor- 

 mation, I have thought it would be useful and gratifying to the mem- 

 bers of the Society, to be thus instructed.
