and ninety acres, for the last two years. They had nothing but 

 salt hay last Winter, and ran in a common pasture the last Sum- 

 mer. In the Spring, during ploughing, they had English hay and 

 stalks, and have not taken a bushel of corn for twelve months, to 

 my knowledge. They weigh now three thousand pounds, alive,

WILLIAM Williams's statement. 

 To the Committee on Fat Cattle : 



Gentlemen, — I present for a premium, one fat ox, seven years 

 old, which, with his mate, has done the work on the farm of one 

 hundred and ten acres for three years past, on ordinary keeping. 

 They had nothing but salt hay till the twentieth of April last ; then 

 they had English hay morning and noon, and salt hay at night. 

 They have never had any grain or roots of any kind, and nothing 

 but a dry pasture this Summer.

ON COWS AND HEIFERS. 



The Committee on Milch Cows and Heifers, Report : 



They recommend that the 1st premium, of ten dollars and 

 Coleman's Agricultural Report, be awarded to Henry Creesy, 

 of Salem, for the best cow, six years old. 



2d premium, of six dollars, to Warren Averill, of Ipswich, 

 for second best cow, seven years old. 



3d premium, of four dollars, to William Williams, of Row- 

 ley, for third best cow, seven years old. 



Only five cows were entered for premium. Although all 

 that were entered were of the native breed, they were excellent 

 cows ; and taking into view the small expense of their keep- 

 ing, must have produced a large net profit.
