Your Committee feel great pleasure in
observing the increased attention to the rear
ing of Mules in this county, as shown by
the increased number of Mule Colts of very
good promise exhibited, the increased num-
Der Of Jacks, and the interest generally TAX
en- to procure and breed good work Mules
1t is undoubt edly fact, that we have for
many years been largely tributary to more
enterprising regions for Mules and work
teams; when i, is equally true, that with
moderate attention and very small outlay,
the very best Mules, in sufficient numbers
for all farming purposes, may be reared in
the county. And your Committee take leave
respectfully TO express the hope, that the
funds Of the Society may hereafter enable
the Exective Committee to offer larger and
more numerous premiums for this invalua-
BILE stock. Respectfully.
