20 MARES AND COLTS. 



noble young, healthy and sound mares, to raise stock, 

 and in a few years you will find a very different exhi- 

 bition of mares and colts than we have had in years 

 that are past ; and if the colt is well cared for, giving 

 him, the first and second winter, a plenty of good hay 

 and a little oat-meal each day, with good yard room, 

 where he can get that exercise which his nature 

 demands, and you will see our country rilled with a 

 most noble set of horses. 



A few words more and we will relieve your patience. 



Now to all our friends who would raise a good horse. 

 Do try and not make the thing any worse. If you 

 have a young mare that is all right and kind, match 

 her with the best blooded horse your can find, and you 

 will raise a better colt by far than your neighbor, and 

 then you will feel proud and get pay for your labor. 



We have awarded the following premiums : 



BREEDING MARES. 



1st, to Levi Kendall, of Fitchburg, $6,00 



2d, to John Wilker, of Ashburnham, 4,00 



We would recommend a gratuity of $3,00 to Jona- 

 than P. Davis, of Ashby, for his mare and colts.

1st, to Levi Kendall, of Fitchburg, $3,00 



2d, to John Wilker, 2,00

All of which is respectfully submitted. 



WARREN SIMONDS, Chairman.
