150 lbs. milk, yielding 5 lbs. of butter. Her feed, was hay 

 during the winter; common pasture in summer, with few 

 corn-stalks since 19th of August. 



For the second best two years old heifer, having had a 

 calf, the second premium of $3,00. As also the third best 

 two years old heifer, having had a calf, the third premium 

 of $2,00. No awards have been made as no one of the 

 various competitors for those premiums had certified to your 

 Committee the weight of milk, as provided by the rules of 

 the Society, to entitle them to said premiums, though on the 

 ground from 10 A. M. to 1 P. M.

For second best two years old heifer, not having had a 

 calf, $2,00, to Samuel Haws, of Fitchburg. Breed, Native; 

 weight 800 lbs.

 To Henry Brewer, of Fitchburg, for his three years
