a few clays, told his two boys to cart out a certain quantity of 

 manure from the yard on to a field of an acre and a quarter. 

 On his return he was disgusted to find that they had cleared 

 the yard, and put on seventy-five ox loads ; but after a few 

 years he found it had been a good investment, the field bearing 

 more grass, for twelve years, than any other field of its size on 

 the farm. 



Let us see to it that we select for our herds, good cows. A 

 poor cow will eat as much as a good one, and not give half 

 the return. Although it is important to feed well, it is 

 equally as important to select good cows to feed. Let us 

 hope that another year will witness an increased interest in 

 this department. 



Respectfully submitted, 



HENRY A. TURNER, fiw the Committee.
