WORKING OXEN AND HORSE. 



The Committee appointed by the Worcester North Agricultural So- 

 ciety, to report upon the work of teams composed of one yoke of oxen 

 and one horse, have attended to that duty and submit the following 

 report : 



There was but one team entered for our examination, which was 

 owned by Mr. N. B. Reed of Princeton The weight of the oxen was 

 2738 lbs., and the weight of the horse 1000 lbs. They drew a load of 

 37S1 lbs upon a drag, (more than their entire weight,) and did the 

 work to the entire satisfaction of the Committee. We unanimously 

 award hiin the first premium of 87.00. AVe hope hereafter to see mora 

 teams of that class entered for premium, as many such teams are u.sed 

 in Worcester North, and when properly trained, are more valuable for 

 many purposes than teams of all oxen or horses. 



ABEL F. ADAMS, for the Committee.
