WM. H. WETHERBEE'S STATEMENT. 



BU LLS. 



The bull Poland, which I offer for premium, is a full- 

 blooded North Devon, fourteen months old, from the 

 superior blood stock owned by Isaiah Wentworth, of the 

 Society of Shakers, E. Poland, Maine. The superiority 

 of this stock is evident from the fact of its having 

 " carried the State," in competition with other importa- 

 tions, for the past few years. Poland was received by 

 me when a suckling, and has been " brought up by 

 hand," learning to eat cut hay with a little oil meal and 

 shorts, varied with "soil feed." He has been kept 

 mostly in the barn. 



The Bull Wesihoro, which I offer for premium, is seven 

 months old. I purchased him of Dea. White, Superin- 

 tendant of the State farm, and according to his state- 

 ment, he is \l Ayrshire. He w^as sired by the full- 

 blood bull (Wachusett,) and his dam was 7-8 Ayrshire. 

 I received him when four or five days old, and he has 

 been raised .by hand on skimed milk, with a little oil, 

 meal and shorts, hay and grass.
