SHEEP. 



Committee. — Amasa Norcross, Fitchburg; Aaron Wood, Westmin- 

 ster ; Thorley CoUester, Gardner ; Mark Wilder, Princeton ; Joseph 

 Smith, Fitchburg. 



The whole number of entries were five. No flocks of 

 sheep were on exhibition. The Committee are con- 

 strained to say that the decline of interest in this 

 department of the annual exhibition should awaken the 

 attention of farmers, and lead the Society to enlarge 

 the premiums on this important branch of stock. 



We award to J. G. Woodward, of Ashburnham, for the 

 best Cosset Buck, the first premium of $ 2,00. 



To John Smith, of Fitchburg, for his Cosset Buck, 

 the second premium of $ 1,00. We also recommend a 

 gratuity of ;^ 1,00 to Addison Howe, of Ashburnham, 

 for his Cosset Sheep ; and to Nathan Danforth, of 

 Princeton, for his Cosset, $ 1,00. ^ 



Respectfully submitted. 



AMASA NORCROSS; Cimrrmn.
