48 ON COAVS AMD HEIFERS. 



ON cows AND HEIFERS. 



The Committee on Cows and Heifers have attended 

 to their duty, and report as follows : 



The number of cows entered for premium was five. 

 The Committee, after careful examination, recommend 

 the first premium of §10 to be paid to Farnham Spofibrd 

 of Andover. The second premium of $7 to Abiel Rus- 

 sell, of Andover. The third premium of fj>S to N. A. 

 Prentiss, of Andover. 



The cow of Amos Blanchard, of Andover, appeared 

 to be a very superior cow, but was supposed to be more 

 than ten years old, and therefore not entitled to the So- 

 ciety's premium. 



The cow of George Maynard, (being one half Dur- 

 ham) was thought to be a good cow, but, considering all 

 the circumstances, hardly equal to those aforemen- 

 tioned. 



There were four heifers oflfered for premium, and the 

 Committee unanimously recommend the first premium of 

 ^7 to be paid to Charles B. Lander, of Danvers. The 

 second premium of $5 to Rev. Samuel C. Jackson, of 

 Ando\er. 



William S. Marland, of Andover, offered two heifers, 

 partly of the Ayrshire stock, and they appeared to be 

 very fine animals. The committee regret that they were 

 not accompanied with such statements as to bring them 

 within the rules of the Society. 



Benjamin Poor entered, for exhibition only, five 

 beautiful Durham Cows, from the Indian Hill larm in 

 West Newbury. 



There were also exhibited some very fine heifers (not 

 in milk) by Josiah Crosby, John Flint, George Hodges, 

 and others ; — they were of the Durham and Ayrshire 

 breed, generally. 



Jacob Farnham exhibited his young stock of native 

 cattle from his farm in Andover ; they were rather small 

 in size, but very pretty, deep red cattle. 



Respectfullv submitted for the Committee, 



HOBART CLARK.
