Report of Judges on Grade Cattle. 
The Committee appointed to examine Grade Cattle, in Class¬ 
es IX, X, and XI, beg leave to Report,— 
That the competition on this occassion, has been extremely 
limited, both as to the number of Cattle, and the variety of the 
crosses. No specimen of a cross between the Native stock and 
the Devon, or Hereford, or Ayrshire, has been presented; and the 
crosses of the Durham are much less numerous than might have 
been expected. This is much to be regretted. Nothing but ex¬ 
periments on all the breeds now imported, will enable us to as¬ 
certain their relative value in crossing, and it is obvious that 
the result of these experiments must be made known in the most 
public mantle/, in order to be widely useful. 
•The committee regard public exhibitions of this kind, emi¬ 
nently calculated to diffuse such information, and they conceive 
that in neglecting them, the breeder neglects as well his own, 
as the interest of the public. 
They have selected No. 7, (Mr.Risley’s cow,) of Class IX, No. 
2, (Mr. Fowler’s 2 year old heifer,) of Class X, and No. 1, (Mr. 
Bement’s Cream pot,) of Class XI, as entitled each to the first 
premium of their respective classes. They have also assigned 
to No 1, (Mr. Buel’s Cow,) in Class IX, and No. 3, (Mr. Schuy¬ 
ler’s heifer,) in Class X, the second premium in their respective, 
classes. JAMES NEILSON,

Report of Judges on Native Stock and Dairy Cows. 
The Committee on Classes XII, XIII, XIV, and XV, Report,— 
On Class XII, Cows, Native breed,—Only one was presented 
for competition, being a red Cow, called Rose, 9 years old, be¬ 
longing to E. Chesebro, of Guilderland, Albany eo. ; to which 
we award the second premium of $8. 
Class XIII, Native Heifers, between 2 and 3 years.—But two 
were presented, neither of which, in our opinion, is entitled to 
a premium. 
Class XIV, Native Heifers between 1 and 2 years.—But one 
was presented for competition, being a red, with white face, 1C 
months old, and had a calf four weeks since, belonging to L. V. 
V. Schuyler, of Watervliei, Albany co .; to which we award the 
second premium of $5. 
Class XV, Dairy Cows of any breed,—But one was presented 
for competition, agreeably to the terms and restrictions set 
forth in the prize list, and which is the native cow mentioned 
in Class XII, and which made 37 lbs. butter in 30 successive 
days, and to which we award, under this class, a Diploma. 
The committee add, that it is very much to be regretted that 
the owners of Native stock have not presented them for exhibi¬ 
tion and competition, and we are compelled to believe, that the 
great and splendid display of Blooded Cattle, has been the cause 
of their not being produced; and we trust that at the next An¬ 
nual Fair and Exhibition, this defect will be amply supplied, not 
only from the vicinity, but from more remote parts,where we are 
well assured they do exist of very superior qualities, and in 
large numbers; and without any disparagement to the splendid 
Blooded Cattle, will be found, if equal care shall be bestowed 
upon their selections and breeding, they will meritoriously and 
pecuniarily reward their owners in an eminent dearee.

Report of Judges on Working Oxen. 
The Committee on Working Oxen, and Three Year Old Steers, 
consisting of Messrs. Colt, of Pittsfield, Mass., Wadsworth, of 
Durham, Conn., Cross, of Shaftsbury, Vt, Fuller,ofSkaneateles, 
and Ha swell, of Hoosick 4 Corners, New-York, have attended 
to the duty assigned them, and respectfully report,— 
That the number of working Oxen upon the ground, were nine 
yoke, well matched and unusually well trained; there were but 
few among them that did not carry marked proofs that they 
came from a land of peace and plenty, and were strangers to 
Pharaoh’s lean kine. We cannot but express our gratification 
at their grand display; it was with difficulty the committee 
could decide between the meritsof the competitors, which is an 
evidence of an improvement in this department; and we think 
by judicious crossing with stocks adapted to the rich grazings 
of New-York, that it"will not only be said that its blooded stock 
stand among the first in our country, but also with its present 
means of crossing, that the working Oxen may stand first. 
Your committee have carefully examined all the animals be¬ 
longing to their province, and have endeavored to do strict and 
impartial justice to all the applicants, not knowing to whom 
they belonged until the awards were made, and give the premi¬ 
ums as follows : 
Forthe best yoke of Working Oxen, No. 1, four years old of 
the Devon and Native cross, to W. Phelps, of Chatham, $20. 
For the 2d best yoke, No. 6, five years old, of the Devon anc. 
Durham cross, to Benj. Aikin, of Greenbush, $12. 
For the 3d best yoke, No. 9, four years old, of the Devon and 
Durham cross, to William N. Sill, of Bethlehem, $8. 
For t.he 4th best yoke, No. 5, six years old, of the Devon and 
Native cross, to Henry Adams, of Bethlehem, $5. 
For the 5th best yoke, No. 3, six years old, of the Native breed, 
to Jacob L. Ten Eyck, of Bethlehem, the Society’s Diploma. 
The committee regret to say, that there were no three year 
old Steers entered for examination. All of which is respect¬ 
fully submitted. ROBERT COLT, Chairman.

Albany, Sept. 28, 1842. JAS. J. CURTISS. 
The following Certificates show the manner and the quantity 
of food, with which they have been fed, and the cost: 
The “ Syracusian,” owned by P. N. Rust, of Syracuse, Onon¬ 
daga co., is 8 years old. He has been fed 19 months last past, 
on corn meal, from 12 to 1(3 quarts per day, and in the winter 
season about half a bushel Ruta Bagas or Potatoes a day. Du¬ 
ring summer months, has been fed about four quarts oil meal 
per"day, in addition to his corn meal. Corn worth 37s cts. per 
bushel, say hay per week, 25 cts., roots 50 cents. 
P. N. RUST. 
C. Godfrey, of Geneva, fed his Cattle, as follows: On 12 to 
14 quarts of corn and pea meal per day, during the year; the 
meal worth 50 cents per bushel. In summer, on grass. In 
winter, on hay. 
T. E. Jones’ Ox. The Ox has been fed fifteen months; the 
first five months, half bushel potatoes, and 6 quarts shorts, per 
day—10 months, half bushel potatoes, and G quarts meal, per 
day. Hay per week, 25 cts.; Potatoes, 20 cts. per bushel; 
Shorts, 20 cts. do.; Meal, 50 cts. do. T. E. JONES. 
Mr. Rotch received his South Down Wether from England, in 
October, 1841. Through that winter, the sheep was fed as well 
as possible, with hay, potatoes, oats, and oil cake, having suf¬ 
fered from the voyage. On the 1st of May, his feed was gradu¬ 
ally reduced, so that by the 10th of May, he was turned out to 
grass only, and has had nothing but salt from that time till he 
was put into the wagon, and traveled 80 miles to Albany. 
FRANCIS ROTCH. 
The two wethers I entered as Fat Sheep, are grass fed through 
the past summer, and through the previous winter fed only on 
clover hay and turneps; no grain whatever having been fed to 
them. J- M’D. McINTYRE. 
der the rule laid down by the Society, they did not feel author¬ 
ized to award a premium to either. 
They have likewise to regret that in the first class of brood 
mares and colts, nothing was shown, which in their opinion, 
merited the premiums offered by this Society. 
In the second class of 3 year old Brood mares, there was but 
one mare offered ; there being no competition, no premium could 
be awarded. 
For Matched Horses. 
1st premium of $15 to Mr. Brinckerhofi’s pair of bay horses. 
2d premium of $10 to Mr. Johnson’s pair of black horses. 
3d premium of $5 to Mr. Mesick’s pair of bay horses. 
The Committee are of opinion that the style of horse contem¬ 
plated by the Society, as the “ horse of all work,” has not been 
exactly represented by any of the horses offered for competition. 
Thay have endeavored to the best of their judgment, to award 
the premiums to such horses as approached the nearest to the 
required model. EDWARD HARRIS, 
J. M. SHERWOOD, 
W. T. PORTER. 
I agree with the committee in the foregoing report, except as 
to breeding Mares and Colts. I think the mare Clio, and the 
colt by tier side, entered by E. Long, of Cambridge, entitled to 
the first premium offered by the Society. 
L. CHANDLER BALL. 
FOREIGN STOCK. 
The Committee on Foreign Stock, would respectfully report: 
They have had the pleasure of examining a grey four year old 
Norman Stallion, presented by Mr. Edward Harris, of Moores- 
town, N. Jersey, and imported by that gentleman from France. 
This horse belongs to the breed used for the diligence, or stage 
coach, in France, and although not decidedly fleet, they are re¬ 
markable for their bottom and endurance. It may indeed, be 
well doubted whether any other variety of horses would crag 
those cumbrous vehicles so great distances in a given time. 
Like their descendants, the Canadian horses, they are easily 
kept, will feed on the coarsest materials, and are remarkable 
for their freedom from disease, and their iron hardihood ami 
endurance under all circumstances. 
Your committee consider Mr. Harris’ horse one of unusual 
substance and symmetry, for the breed. The shoulder lies well 
back, the back is short, the whole conformation betraying im¬ 
mense strength. He has a great length and substance of fore¬ 
arm, and the limb below the knee is clean and short, for the 
character of the breed. He also displayed free and spirited ac¬ 
tion. Your committee cannot but believe that in its pure state, 
this variety of horses would prove one of the most valuable for 
heavy draft; and there is little doubt that crossed with the 
light mares of our country, would produce a peculiarly hardy 
and active race of horses, fit for the road or the plow. 
The society were much obliged to Henry Whitney, Esq. of 
New Haven, Conn., for the opportunity afforded them of seeing 
specimens of his fine Short Horn stock, his valuable imported 
bull “ Rocket,” by “ Norfolk,” out of “Carnation,” bred by 
Mr. Hargrave, in England, and his red roan cow “ Strawberry,” 
an animal that attracted much attention for her substance, and 
general good appearance. More it would not become us to say, 
as she is engaged in a sweepstakes. His beautiful heifer “ Cor¬ 
nelia,” we understand to be also in a sweepstakes, and there¬ 
fore feel it necessary to abstain from comment. 
Your committee further had t.he gratification of viewing a 
fine specimen of the Duke of Leed’s stock, in the imported bull 
“His Grace,” brought on the ground by Paschal Morris, Esq. 
of Allertou, Chester co. Pa. This animal was by “Anthony,” 
out of “ Vinea,” she by Mr. Whittaker’s Frederick, &c. “ His 
Grace” is an aminal of great substance, and much excellence. 
He was selected, as we are informed, by Mr. Whittaker, in Eng¬ 
land, and sent over to this country in 183S. 
Your committee trust that no foreign stock exhibited on this 
occasion, was overlooked by them—if so, the immense concourse 
of men and animals on the ground, and the confusion necessa¬ 
rily attending such a scene, must serve as their apology. All 
of which is respectfully submitted.

Report of Judges on Long Wooled Sheep. 
The Committee upon Long Wooled Sheep, Cla-ss No. I, have 
refully examined the several specimens of this useful animal, 
rich have been submitted to their inspection. Where the 
rims of individuals in some instances are so nearly balanced, 
is difficult to do exact justice. The committee, exercising 
eir best judgment., and having regard to the purpose which 
rinly recommends this class to the attention of farmers near 
ir large towns, namely, the value ol the carcase for the table, 
,ve endeavored to award the premiums with a fair discrirni- 
tion, which shall command the approbation ol the parties lm- 
ediaiely interested. , , , 
The Committee award the premium for the best buck to J hos.
