REPORT ON MILCH COWS. 



The Committee have to report, that the whole number entered 

 for premium was twenty-three ; the most of which would rank 

 high in the several breeds to which they respectively belong. 

 There were some very fine Jerseys — a greater proportion than at 

 any former exhibition. The show of Blood stock of other kinds was 

 good; taken as a whole, it was very creditable. It is to be regret- 

 ted, that greater care is not taken to keep and render in to the 

 Committee statements of the yield of Milk or Butter, as required 

 by the rules of the Society. Only one written statement was pre- 

 sented, that from Dr. Morton, of Needham, some extracts from 

 which are appended to this report, which, for precision and mi- 

 nuteness of detail, is entitled to great credit. 



The exhibition of Milch Cows is one of the most interesting fea- 

 tures in our annual Cattle Show, and it is to be hoped that more 

 pains will be taken in the future to make this department as at- 

 tractive as it is important. There is the material in Norfolk 

 county to do it ; all that is required, is the effort. 



The Committee award the following premiums for cows not less 

 than three years old : 



Jersey, 1st premium to Dr. W. T. G. Morton, Need- 

 ham, for his cow " Beauty," 

 Dr. Morton, for his cow " Dai-
