BREAD AND HONEY. 



The general quality of the bread exhibited this season was 

 better than that of last year. The contributors in this de- 

 partment neglect to furnish the statement of the process of 

 making their bread. It is highly important that this proper 

 regulation of the Society should be complied with in all cases. 

 Of course if any contributor knows how to make extra bread, 

 it is desirable that the process of making the same should be 

 made public, for the benefit of others interested. There were 

 thirteen contributors in this department, of whom two only 

 furnished such statement. 



To one of these — Mrs. Sarah S. Perkins, of Haverhill — 

 your Committee award a gratuity for the best bread ex- 

 hibited, of $3.
