REPORTS OF JUDGES AND PREMIUMS AWARDED, AT SECOND ANNUAL EXHIBITION, OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, HELD AT LANCASTER, on the 20TH, 21ST AND 22D DAYS OF OCTOBER, 1852. INTRODUCTION. In accordance with a resolution passed by the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society at its meeting on the 21st instant, I have collated for publication the Reports of the Committees of Judges who acted in their several capacities for the Second Annual Exhibition at Lancaster. These gentlemen, who have performed the onerous duties assigned them as Judges, have merited the thanks of the Society, for the industrious attention given to all matters under their charge. Owing to the hurried manner in which several of the reports had to be transcribed from the hands of the Judges, so as to have them in time to be read off at the appointed hour, several inaccuracies occurred, but discovered too late for correction by the Committees, most of whom had already left Lancaster. In looking over the reports it will be seen that the Judges have not confined themselves merely to the published premium list, but have, with a commendable liberality, given special premiums wherever deserving articles were presented not enumerated in the schedule. Persons to whom premiums have been awarded and who have not yet received them will send their address to the Treasurer, directed to GEORge H. BUCHER, Hogestown, Cumberland County, Pa. As soon as the Post-office address of the members of the Society shall have been transcribed, the Diplomas awarded will be sent by mail. ROBERT C. WALKER, Secretary. Lancaster, October 27, 1852. CATTLE-NATIVES OR GRADES, WORKING OXEN AND FAT CATTLE. The Committee on working oxen, grades and fat cattle, respectfully report, that they were much disappointed at the very small number of animals under this class submitted to their inspection. The exhibition being in a county widely known for its Agricultural resources, it was expected that there would have been a large representation of at least our Native and Grade stock. A very few only were brought to the ground, attributable, no doubt, more to the fear, often entertained by farmers, of their stock not being successful competitors, which deters from bringing them out, than to any actual deficiency of fine animals. The Committee would observe, that the comparison of stock attainable only at these exhibitions, and the interchange of views as to their several points of value, for feeding, for work or for the pail; the different modes of rearing and management, &c., are objects, which it is the very design of the State Society to promote in their schedule of premiums, and they would encourage the Farmers especially, in districts adjoining the location of the show grounds, at least for their own benefit, to send in their stock. They award the first premium of $15 for the best pair of working oxen to Christian B. Herr, of Lancaster county,. for a large pair of fine animals, of active step and superior working qualities, and remarkable for being under perfect command, working on either side with equal facility. Their weight is 4,530 lbs. They award the second premium of $10 to James Gowen, of Mount Airy, Philadelphia county, for a beautiful pair of cattle, full bred Devons, showing evidence of ability for active work, combined with great endurance. For working cattle, probably the Devons are unsurpassed. They award the third premium to C. A. Thompson, of Juniata county, for a yoke of Devons three years old, well broken and of even speed, $7. For the best fat oxen they award the first premium of $15 to Richard Pim, of Chester county, for a pair of pure Devons, weighing 3,844 lbs. They were of fine form, combining fineness of bone, with great dispostion to fatten. There was but one fat steer exhibited by Daniel Leamon, of Lancaster county, four years old, and for which they recommend a complimentary premium of $5.

George Cadwalader, of Philadelphia county. Thirty head of cattle of different grades were on exhibition by this gentleman, and his example is now referred to for imitation by future contributors of fine stock. The committee regret that Farmers in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition grounds, submitted so small an amount of stock. They trust this will not be found a cause of complaint at future exhibitions. ROBT. BRYSON,. ABM.
