BREAD AND HONEY. 



The Committee on Bread and Honey respectfully report !-^ 

 That there were eleven entries of bread and one of Honey. 

 The Committee were gratified with the spirit manifested by the 

 ladies, in offering for our inspection so many specimens of 

 their skill in the important department of bread ; they were 

 particularly pleased with the beautiful loaf, and other speci- 

 mens offered by Jane Graves, of Andover; they commended 

 themselves to the eye and taste of all, and, we believe, would 

 be hard to beat. We should have been glad to have known 

 the modus operandi of its manufacture ; but no statement ap- 

 peared. And we would here suggest, that hereafter all entries 

 of bread shall be accompanied by a statement describing the 

 process of mixing, kneeding and baking ; the Society require 

 a statement in regard to butter, cheese, etc, and why not in re- 

 gard to the more important article of bread ? We can see no 

 benefit to be derived from an exhibition of bread, unless those 

 who are so unfortunate as to be lacking in skill, " can go and 

 do likewise." They can look at the beautiful loaves on exhibi- 

 tion, and, with "a sigh, express the wish to know how to make 

 such bread ; but the information is not to be had. If the 

 Statement is given, under a rule of the Society, all the bread- 

 makers in the county may know how to make good bread. 

 We award to Jane Graves, of Andover, for the best speci- 

 men, $1,50
