You will notice that there is no winter squash in the 

 list, but families that wish for it can substitute winter 

 squash for potatoes or parsnips; in other words, change 

 the list to meet your own wants. 



The above quantities of vegetables will supply a family 

 of ten persons one year. Now if $91.93 will supply ten 

 persons with vegetables for one year, then one-tenth of 

 $91.93 must supply one person one year; and it seems to 

 me that $9.19 for vegetables for one person one year is 

 cheap enough. 



STATEMENT IN REGARD TO SHEEP 

 HUSBANDRY IN ESSEX COUNTY. 



To the President of the Essex Agricultural Society : 



You will find enclosed my Sheep Report for 1886. 

 You are at liberty to use it in any way you see fit. 



These sheep were bought at the Watertown market and 

 were culled from flocks from Maine, Canada and Ver- 

 mont. Some of them were old and diseased, in conse- 

 quence I lost 30 head by disease, and 12 were killed by 

 dogs. The increase from the 400 was about 500. I have 

 no doubt that a flock of fine young ewes would pay a 

 profit of $4 per head. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



W. W. Foster.
