40 ON cows AND HEIFERS. 



COWS and heifers were entered for exhibition only. An 

 imported cow from Bartlett farm, Methuen. A large, 

 fine cow, not in milch. A very beautiful, half-blood 

 heifer, twenty-eight months old, belonging to Daniel P. 

 King, of Danvers, with a bull calf, three months old. 

 The heifer was of fine size, form and colour, and gave 

 much promise for her milking qualities. 



A number of cows and heifers were entered for pre- 

 mium, but were not accompanied with a statement suf- 

 ficiently exact to entitle them to the Society's premi- 

 um. The committee had much difficulty in determining 

 to whom the several premiums should be awarded, ow- 

 ing in part to the different manner in which the animals 

 .had been kept, some having had grain while others had 

 none; they, however, assume the position that the farm- 

 ers of the county of Essex do not consider it good poli- 

 cy to feed cows with grain during the summer season. 

 Therefore, other things being equal, they award to 

 those that have had no extra feed in preference to those 

 that have. 



The first premium of ten dollars, they award to Jo- 

 seph Kittredge, of Andover, for his cow, nine years old. 



The second of seven dollars, to Jeremiah Stickney, of 

 Rowley, for his cow, eight years old. 



The third, of five dollars, to George Hood, of Lynn, 

 for his cow Countess, six years old. 



On heifers, the first premium, of seven dollars, to Wil- 

 liam S. Annis, of Methuen. 



The second, of five dollars, to William S. Marland, of 

 Andover. 



Respectfully submitted, for the Committee,
