HERD OF MILCH COWS. 



The Committee, on Herd of Milch Cows, report two herds 

 entered for pi-emium. One of John P. Palmer, of Swamp- 

 scott, with only four cows. Tlie rules of the society requiring 

 five, and not being furnished with a statement, nor any one to 

 give us any information about them, the committee could not 

 grant them a premium, although they were apparently good 

 stock. The herd of Thomas Sanders, of Haverhill, were 

 also entered for premium, Mr. Sanders statnig that this was 

 the same herd that had been entered last year for premium. 

 The report of milk could not be furnished in full, as they had 

 been summered at the Home Farm, at Milton, to be served by 

 the celebrated Bull Bombos Son. 



Mr. Sanders took considerable trouble and expense 

 to get them from there, and without them the show would have 

 been very small indeed. The committee being somewhat 

 divided as to the claims for premiums, awarded Mr. Sanders 

 $12.00, the second premium.
