BULLS. 



Report of Committee on Bulls : — 



The number of Bulls presented for premium was large, 

 being of Jerseys 6, Ayrshires 2, Short Horns 1, Grade or 

 Natives 7. Their quality was, as a general thing, very fine, 

 and indicated a laudable determination to improve the stock of 

 the county. 



The Jersey Bulls were all superior, and it was with difficulty 

 that the Committee made their award. The bulls of Hazen 

 Ayer, E. S. Fay, T. W. Peii'ce, Joseph Kittredge and R. S. 

 Rogers, would, either of them, be a valuable acquisition to 

 breeders of this class of animals. To the bidl of Eben G. 

 Berry of Danvers, the Committee would award a premium 

 of $10. 



The Ayrshire Bulls of Eben S. Poor and T. W. Pierce were 

 both of high quality — Mr. Poor's being imported, and Mr. 

 Peirce's being bred from stock imported by the Massachusetts 

 Society for Promoting Agriculture. In some respects the bull 

 of Mr. Peirce was considered superior, and worthy of a 

 premium of $10. 



Of Short Horns, there was but one entiy — ^By Ben : Perley 

 Poore ; and to his bull "EUesmere," purchased of Hon. A. B. 

 Conger of New York, the Committee award a premium of $10. 



Of the Grade or Native Bulls, a grade Ayrshire entered by 

 Henry Gardner of Salem, a grade Hereford by Jacob Earnham 

 of North Andover, and a native by M. B. Averill of the Salem 

 Poor Earm, deserve particular mention, and were worthy of 

 premiums, had more than two been allowed. But, after care- 

 ful examination, the Committee would award to Marshall C. 

 Adams of Danvers, for his native bull, the fii'st premium, of 

 and to Israel Trask of Beverly the second premium, $5.
