Wc make the subjoined extract from the re
port of a committee of the Agricultural Society
of \\‘ore ester, Mass. at its recent Cattle Show
and Fair. It w ill doubtless be read with inter*
est; and we wish it may excite farmers in this
quarter to imjirove the breed of cattle, the ne
cessity of w hich every one will admit.
W'e come now to speak of a cow, as
rcrnaikable for good (]uaHlics, as extra
ordinary for the great product of milk;
though she was the first to attract our
aticntion at tlie pens, we hnve reserved
her by way of distinction., for the last to
I)C spoken of. She was entered meicly
for exhibition, and belongs to His Ex
cellency Levi Lincoln ; whose active ser
vices and laudable zeal in whatever ap
pertains to the honor and usefulne.'js of
this society are unrivalled, and we trust
duly appreciated by its members. His
stock of cattle, greatly Improved, and
•still improvinif, has for manj years gra
ced our pens, and added largely to the
beauty and splendor ot our shows. None
of them has he ever presented for any
other ])urpo6e than exhibition—while he
contents himself with the satisfaction
deiived from what he has done towards
improving the breed of his cattle 'and
seeks by their public exhibition, with de-
luils of their origin, keeping and product,
tu excite otliers to go and do likewise, he
generously relinquishes all claim to j)e-
cuniary profit*, of which he could not fail
largely to reccive in a competition for
[iremiums.
In stating to this society some partic
ulars of thiti remarkable cow, we cannot
do better, thnn to submit to its consider
ation the following extract from a com
munication received by the commiitee
while at the pens, from His Lxcellency.
To ihe Comntilltc on Milrh Coirs, he.
1 beg leave, (itntlemen, to siute the
following facts which I have satisfacto
rily ascertained in reference to a Milch
Cow of mine alTered to your observation.
'l’h« animal is a half blood ol'IJull “ Den
ton and is now 5 years ok!—she had
her iirsr calf at 2 years old and her sc*
cow, was 24i quarts, and the least 18
quarts, in any one day.”

We have chosen to be thus narli
since it is only from }>arliculnrs, that a
proper estimate can be made of the su
perior qualities possessed by some cows,
to those of others.
Such a product, in any one month, in
any season, from a single cow, is re
markable ; and when it is considered
how severe wa« the drought, through ,
the month of June last, it may well be
deemed wonderful.
