82 O?^ HEIFERS. 



ON HEIFERS, 



The Committee on Heifers respectfully Report, that twenty- 

 one animals were entered for exhibition and inspection, eight- 

 een of which were for premiams, entered by fifteen individu- 

 als. The animals were generally of a superior class, and 

 evinced a due regard in the farmers of the county, to the se- 

 lection of stock. 



But one animal came within the limits of the class of heif- 

 ers in milk ; and to the owner, Josiah Crosby, of Andover, 

 we recommend the second premium, of six dollars, be award- 

 ed for his two years old Devon and Ayrshire heifer ; they also 

 recommend that a gratuity be given, of five dollars, for his 

 three years old heifer, exhibited with her first calf, of eight 

 days, to James P. King, of Dan vers. For two years old heif- 

 ers, the Committee recommend the follow premiums : 

 To Nathaniel Kelly, of Salem, 1st premium $5 00 



*' I. Osgood Loring, of Andover, 2d premium 4 00 



u u .i r. u 3(i i: 3 00 



There were more yearling heifers than of either of the other 

 two classes, and the animals of a good character, and so near 

 in the estimation of the Committee were the merits of the 

 several animals, that we came to results with more difficulty ; 

 the Committee, however, recommend that the premiums be 

 awarded as follows : 



To Isaac Prince, of Beverly, 1st premium 4 00 



" Warren Trask, of Danvers, 2d premium 3 00 



" David S. Caldwell, of Newbury, 3d premium 2 00 



They also recommend that a gratuity of two dollars be giv- 

 en to Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, on his one half Devon 

 yearling heifer. For the Committee, 



JOSIAH LITTLE.
