Excerpt from Transactions of the New Hampshire State Agricultural Society: For the Year 1856
The Secretary presents to the public another volume of the Society's Transactions, in the hope that it may prove both interesting and profitable to the farmers of the State. The practice of awarding premiums for Essays on various subjects having been discontinued, a prominent feature of the early volumes issued by the Society has been omitted for want of the requisite material. This deficiency has, in part, been supplied by the contributions of intelligent men who have furnished short articles, in compliance with the request of the Secretary. These communications will be found practical and useful.
A valuable feature in the Fourth Volume, consisted of reports from about fifty towns, on topics of unusual interest to the farmer. The Secretary, the present season, sent circulars to gentlemen in the towns unreported, with the request that similar reports be furnished; but returns were received from so small a number, that no particular use has been made of them in this volume.
The reports of awarding committees are more meagre than in any former volume, though especial efforts have been made to induce Judges to furnish them.
But notwithstanding these deficiencies, the volume contains much valuable matter, practical in its character, which will be of permanent interest to the farmer, and creditable to the Society.
