through the winter on hay and corn fodder only, and through 

 the summer has fed in a quite dry pasture ; but since the 

 first of August, has had green stalks twice each day. 



The remaining one of these animals is owned by John 

 P. Sabin, of Fitchbnrg. She is of the Durham breed, eight 

 years old, calved seventh of March, the calf weighing at 

 one day old, 108 lbs. She gave the first week in June, 

 266 1-2 lbs. milk, and the first week in September, 202 lbs. 

 milk, being 468 1-2 lbs. for the two weeks, being nearly 

 13 1-2 quarts per day. Amount of butter tor the week in 

 June, 10 1-2 lbs. and for the week in September, 8 3-4 lbs. 



The pasture in June was decently good ; in September, 

 rather short. One quart of meal or two quarts of shorts 

 night and morning, has been her usual feed through the 

 year. 



These are all fine animals and good milkers. The Com- 

 mittee having fully considered all the particulars respecting 

 them, — the time at which they severally calved, the quantity 

 and quality of their milk, and especially the expense of 

 keeping of each, — have unanimously awarded the premi- 

 ums at their disposal, as follows, viz. 



To Joseph P. Reed, of Princeton, the first premium, $5 00 

 To Nathan B. Reed, of Princeton, the second pre- 

 mium 4 00 



And the third premium, for want of a fourth, they award 

 to Enoch Caldwell and John P. Sabin, jointly, to be divided 

 between them. For the Committee,
