6 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 



It is often said that the expense of keeping pure bred stock is 

 greater than that of the native ; but it is also true that stock well 

 kept is the most remunerative to the farmer. Your committee 

 especially commend gentlemen who exhibit good stock of any- 

 kind, as public benefactors, and they deserve the fostering care of 

 agricultural societies.
