CLASS 15~BLOO—DED STOCK.
GENTLEMEN :—
Your Committee be‘ leave to report that
the exhibition of Bloc ed Stock, and Thor-
oughbred Stock was far from being satisfac-
tory or creditably to the county, certainly
not what might justly be expected from this
county.
In our opinion this want of interest on the
part of the Breeders of Thoroughbred Stock,
is owing _to the system adopted by your
Society, of awarding premiums to animals
having no certified or registered pedigree, or
at least of allowing such animals to enter
into competition with Thoroughbred Stock.
Again the premiums offered are deemed ex-
ceedingly small in proportion to those offered
for other Objects. Your Committee has only
awarded two premiums for Thoroughbred
Stock, ,No. 475 and 527, they being the only
registered stock on the ground, or stock
entered to registry. The other awards are
simply Discretionary premiums equal in
value to lst or 2d premium as marked.
Your Committee in thus awarding these
premiums simply judged of the animals‘
from their general points. They would have
felt induced not to make any awards if the
rules Of the Society would have justified
them in so doing.
Your Committee would beg leave to recom-
mend to the Society that hereafter no animal
shall be allowed to compete for any premium
in class 15, Thoroughbred Stock unless the
owner of the animal shall produce a register-
ed pedigree of the animal, or if under 1 year
old a pedigree of its Sire and Dam. Further-
more that somc officer shall be appointed
whose duty it:shall be to assign a pen for
each animal and the animals of each breed
shall be placed together and not scattered
about as at present. Your Committee would
not appear harsh or dictatorial in this matter,
but they are satisfied that the exhibition is
annually becoming poorer and poorer owing
to the loose system adopted in receiving
animals and awarding premiums. Your
Committee could not in justice to themselves
disregard the rules of judgiue Thoroughbreds
adopted by all State Fairs and New England
Agricultural Society.
Especially is it to be noticed that no
breeder of Thoroughbred Jersey Alderncys
in the County had an animal on the ground
either for exhibition or competition; the
reason is evident, the County has within
its limits as pure specimens of this breed as
can be found anywhere. The same is true Of
all breeds. If sufficient inducements were
offered and the usual precautions taken by
Fairs in receiving Blooded Stock for entry,
adopted; they would be found upon the
ground for exhibition or competition for
premiums oftener. The true lover of cattle
or honest reader cannot appreciate the
motives that prompt the iving of premiums
to animals wOrth from $500 to $2,000, so
insignificanta sum and at the‘same time,
hundreds for the speed Of indifferent horses.
The value of Thoroughbred Stock to any
Agricultural community cannot be readil
computed, certainly it is immense and it
should be encouraged. The way and means
of so doing must be left to your wisdom and
experience. Your Committee do not thus
report in any spirit of antagonism to the
Society or to the devoting of a day to the
testing of speed of Horses. but to express
their regret that one branch of Agriculture
certainly inferior to none, should be so sadly
neglected by our Farmers and our show so
inferior. With great respect.

I'Y, I am induced and I take great pleasure in giv-
ing ublic'lty to the great cure it accomplished in
my ’amlly iii the year 1856. During the summer of
that year my son: Henry A. Arcncr, new post-
master of this place, was attacked with spitting of
blood, cough, weakness cl‘lungs. and general de-
bility, so much so that our family physican declar-
ed him to have a “seated consumption." lie was
under medical treatment for a number of men tbs,
but received no benefit from it. At length, from
the solicitation of himself and others. I was induc-
cd to purchase one bottle of \VIS’I‘AR’S BALSAM or
WiLD CHERRY, which bencllttcd him so uluch I
obtained another. which III a short time restored
him to his usual state of health. I can safely rc-
commcnd this remedy to others in like condition,
for it is, I think. all it purports to lie—Tim GREAT

Cross, sickly babies and children, may enjoy
health, and mothers have rest. if they will use Cas-
tcria. Worms, feverishness, teething, wind colic,
sour stomach and undigested food make children
cross, and produces sickness. ’
Castoria‘ will assimilate the food, expel worms,
and correct all these things. For twenty years
Dr. Pitcli'er' experimented in his private practice
to produce an cli‘ectivc Cathartic and stomach reg-
ulator which would be effective as Castor Oil,
without its unpleasant taste or recoil.
The reputation of his experiment extended. Phy-
sicians and nurses rapidly adopted his remedy, to
which he gave the name of Castoria.
Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey, regu-
lates the stomach and bowels. and does not gripe.
It is adapted to all ages, contains no alcohol, and
is absolutely harmless to the most tender infant.
Try Castoria once, and you will never be without
it.
