REPORT ON WORKING OXEN. 



Tlie Committee on Working Oxen regret exceedingly that not 

 more attention is given by the farmers of the County of Norfolk, 

 in bringing out more of those fine Oxen which the County is known 

 to possess, for exhibition, and for a trial of skill in drawing. 



There were but four entries, two of which were made by the 

 venerable Josiah Quincy, of Quincy. 



We have awarded the premiums as follows, viz. : — 



To Josiah Quincy, of Quincy, for a fine pair of faur-year old 

 Steers, who handled their load of two tons admirably, the first 

 premium of ....... . $8.00 



To Timothy Tucker, of Milton, the second premium of 6.00 

 To Josiah Quincy, of Quincy, the third premium of . 5.00 

 To Henry Goulding, of Dover, the fourth premium of 3.00 



The Committee w^ould say in conclusion, that the place selected 

 for the trial is very unfavorable for such a purpose ; and if the 

 same is to be hereafter used, they would suggest that it be graded 

 and gravelled.
