NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



field on Wednesday last. The day was favora- 

 ble ; the assembhije of people large, and high- 

 ly respectable. 



The number of competitors for premiums 

 was much less than in the last year; and the 

 show of animals (with some exceptions) much 

 inferior. The whole number of animals exhib- 

 ited for premium":, ,va- about one hundred. It 

 is to be regretted, that in a county possessing 

 so many fine animals, so few of the inhabitants 

 should have public spirit enough to bring them 

 forward. The fear ofnot being considered first, 

 operates to destroy all the advantages arising 

 from competition. 



Premiums taerc azaariled 



To Mr. Jo=iah Lovett, of Beverly, and Capt. 

 Stephen Abbot, of Andover, for the manage- 

 ment of a Dairy.

There were exhibited som* large and fine 

 vegetable productions. Some corn from New- 

 buryport and Haverhill, the seed ofwhich came 

 from the Indians in the upper part of the Mis- 

 souri country; and which promises to be a val- 

 uable kind of cultivation. 



The field for the Ploughing Match was a 

 green Sward, laid out in lots 20 rods long and 2 

 rods wide, containing one quarter ot an acre. — 

 The work was well done, and the performance 

 satisfactory to a numerous crowd oi witnesses. 



The first premium was given to John Broc- 

 klebank, of Rowley. 



The second premium was given to Benjamin 

 Savary, of Byfield, from the farm of Gorham 

 Parsons, Esq.

 vers. 



A ver}' large number of claims for premiums 

 on Indian Corn and other Crops, and four on the 

 management of a farm, have been entered with 

 the Secretary. 



After dinner the members of the Society aud 

 others repaired to the Meeting-house, where an 

 excellent, ingenious and pertinent Address was 

 delivered by the Rev. Dr. Eaton, ofBoxford.

 ils(\. of Worcester. The Committee expressed! 

 their deep regret that the goods which fell un-j 

 der their observation were so deficient in quan-i 

 tity, though of good quality. They assigned ^ 

 some of the reasons which, in their opinion, had | 

 occasioned the neglect so a|)parcnt among ouri 

 manufacturers, and suggested a remedy. Their 

 report will repay an attentive perusal. They, 

 recommended the t'ollowing premiums : —

 importance of exciting a greater spirit of emu-

 selves to do 50 little. They recommended the

 wCre accepted by the Trustees, and the premi- 

 ums recommended, were awarded accordingly. 



The Address of N.\thamel P. Dennv, Esq. 

 will be publisliod under the direction of (hi- 

 Trustees, as soon as it conveniently can be, ac- 

 companied with a concise statement of the pro- 

 ceedings of the day. 



The Society was complimented by a delega- 

 tion from the Easex Agricultural Society and 

 from the Windham County Society, in Connecti- 

 cut. Many distinguished strangers honoured us 

 with their company. Among them, were ob- 

 served Commodores Rogers and Chauncei/, and 

 Capt. Biddle, of the Navy, the Hon. Messrs. 

 Llovd and Qlixcy, of Boston, and John Hari. 

 Powell, Esq. the celebrated agriculturalist, of 

 Philadelphia. 



The thanks of the Society are due to many 

 gentlemen who volunteered their services in 

 carrying into operation the previous arrange- 

 ments. — The gentlemen who acted as Marshals 

 deserved great credit for the promptness and ef- 

 ficiency with which they discharged their duty. 

 The following gentlemen executed this respon- 

 sible- and arduous trust: — Col. Joseph Davis, 

 Col. Samuel Damon, Col. Ariel Bragg, Col. 

 Moses Grout, and Maj. Nathan Heard, jun, 



We reflect upon the proceedings of the day 

 with much satisfaction ; and we ;irdenlly hope 

 that each succeeding Anniversary will exhibit 

 the most unequivocal evidence, that this extens- 

 ive and populous County is advancing rapidly in 

 those improvements which are the strength, 

 and ornament, and glory of a community.

 The second annual Cattle Show and Exhibi- 

 tion of Domestic Manufactures, of the Windsor 

 County Agricultural Society, was holden at Wind-
