Weaned Pigs-First premium to P. L. Day, Bradford, $6; second premium to Daniel Carlton, North Andover, $4.

The Committee would make mention of the following contributors, and regret that no premiums were offered for their classes, and would suggest that the Trustees take some action. on this matter:

H. G. Herrick, of Lawrence, had on exhibition six remarkably fine hogs, nine months old, grade Essex. These animals were too old to come under the head of weaned pigs, and no premiums are offered for fat hogs.

There were three pairs of pigs on exhibition: Charles Emmerton, of Peabody, one pair Yorkshires, twenty-five weeks old; M. G. Tenney, of Georgetown, one pair Berkshires, eleven weeks old; John L. Annable, of Topsfield, one pair Essex, twenty weeks old. These were very fine specimens of their respective breeds, and afforded a fine opportunity to judge of their distinctive merits.

M. Birmingham, of Salem, showed four Yorkshire pigs, six weeks old, weaned, that were worthy of a premium, but the rules that governed this committee distinctly state that the premium is offered for the best litter of weaned pigs, not less than four in number, between tro and four months old. W. J. DALE, JR., Chairman.

THE REPORT ON STEERS.

[Since the foregoing pages were printed, it has been ascertained that the cattle of Mr. Hathaway, exhibited as four years old, were six years old, and consequently are not entitled to the premium awarded them. Mr. Hathaway states that he was not aware of the mistake in the age at the time of entry.]
