EEPOETS. 



We have examined Eeports submitted to the Seciety, for 1867, and 

 find three only that are worthy of any special notice or commendation. 



The report of Mr. A. B. Davis of Shirley, on Working Oxen and 

 Single Teams, was written with a good deal of care, and embodies sound 

 thought, and practical suggestions of value to teamsters of every grade, 

 and especially to all drivers of the noble ox ; and we award to him the 

 Society's first premium of $10.00. 



Mr. Ephraim Graham's report on Plowing and Double Teams, while 

 it includes one or two errors in chemical law as applied to plowing, in 

 our opinion, and recommends a practice which the committee have 

 always found detrimental, is, nevertheless, a valuable report and will 

 well repay a careful perusal by every member of the Society ; and we 

 award to him the Society's second premium of $6.00. 



Mr. N. C. Day's report on Blood Stock, though not written with an 

 eye to the award, is a plain, concise, common sense report worthy of 

 imitation; and we award him the Society's third premium of $4.00. 

 In behalf of the Committee, 



J. T. EVEEETT.
