EIGHTH DIVISION 4 ENTRIES. 



The Committee on the eighth division beg; leave to report their were 

 two entries of neat stock both herds high grade Durham. Their fine forms 

 and good points denoted good breeding, both for the shambles and for 

 milk and evinced much credit to breeders. Of blood stock but two herds 

 were shown us, those of Jersey breed, and were with many the favorites, 

 their delicate limbs, intelligent faces and decidedly excellent milking quali- 

 ties bespeak for them a high place in the public favor, but are they the 

 breed to be encouraged here in Berkshire, where grazing and rearing of 

 stock is the grand staple, cannot our sweet pastures and fertile meadows 

 mature the Durham whose carcass at four years will double in weight, sur- 

 pass in quality, and by judicious breeding exceed in quantity of milk even 

 almost if not quite enough to make up the lack in quality. Past experi- 

 ence leads us to believe it can, but at the present day every man has his 

 hobby and we may prehaps have ours, and will leave the subject with 

 these suggestions for the public to decide. We cheerfully award as follows: 



For best display of Neat Stock, six in number, L. S. Butler of Lenox, $8 00
