To the Senate and House of Representatives: In accordance with the requirements of the organic act consti­ tuting the Board of Agriculture, I procee4, first, to lay before you a. detailed a~count of its transactions at the last session. The members assembled at the Agricultural Room in the Capi­ tol, at Augusta, on the 20th of January, 1864. J,-,or purposes of organization, Mr. Rogers of Sagadahoc was appointed Chairman. A Committee on Credentials having reported a quorum present, the Board proceeded to the election of oflicers by the choice of JOHN F. ANDERSON, President. CALVIN CHA}IBERLAIN, Vice President. S. L. Goon.ALE, Secretary. rrlie rules of order prepared by a Committee of last year were adopted for use at the present session. The President announced the Standing Committees as follows : On Elections-Mes>'ffS. Lee, Leach ::tnd Pratt. On Pay Roll-Messrs. Rogers, Dill and Waterman. On Business-Mes:eirs. vVeston, Chamberlain and Wasson. The Secretary read communications from Hon. Sidney Perham, l\i. C., and Hon. Is,uw Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, relating· to copies of his Annual Report and also a quantity of seeds, for distribution to the members of the Board. On motion of l\fr. Anderson, the following resolves were adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the Maine Board of .Agriculture be returned to the Hon. Sidney Perham and to the United States Commissioner of Agri,~ulture for the seeds and Reports which have been received. Resolved, That the :ifaine Board of Agriculture notice with sat­ isfaction the improved character of the United States Agricultural 6 IlOARD OP AGRICULTURE. Report, compared with those that formerly emanated from the Pa­ tent Office Department. The Secretary having presented and read a communication from Hon. George B. Loring of Massachusetts, in regard to the forma­ tion of a New England Agricultural Society, it was Ordered, That a Committee of three be appointed, who are here­ by authorized to act in behalf of the Board in relation to the prop­ osition made by the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture relative to the formation of a New England Agricultural Society. The President, Vice President and Secretary of the Board were constituted said Committee. On motion of Mr. Chamberlain, it was Ordered, 1.'hat the Secretary be requested to communicate through the medium of the public press, the facts that the cattle disease known as Lung )Iurrain or Plcuro PHcumonLt-contagious and incurable-exists at the present time in some parts of Massa­ chusetts, a11d that there is eminent danger of its introduction hither, together with such suggestions as he may see fit to offer in connection therewith. Ou motion of JHr. ,v-asson, it was Ordered, That the Secretary of the Board of Agricultnre be di­ rected to call the attention of the .A.gricultural Committee of the Legislature to the fact that no standard of weight has Leen affixed by the statutes of .Maine for parsnips, onions, turnips or beets; and also that tJrn standard weight for beans, poas, ruta bagas, man­ gold wmtzel and sugar beets differs from that of Massachusetts, and to ask for sueh Iegishttive action as necessity requires. Dr. vVeston presc11ted some resolutions forwarded to him by the "Sheepkcepers' Association" of Penobscot County, as follows : "Resolved, That the injury inflicted by dogs on sheep is severe and aggravated, and tend::.:; greatly to discourage the raising of these useful ::1nimals, and that in the opinion of this meeting the important interests of sheep husbamlry demand of the Legislature the imposition of a tax of at least two l1o1lars on each dog kept in the State. Resolved, That the Legislature ong·ht to enact a law requiring the owner of any dog to pay twice the value of each sheep injured or killed by him to its keeper, and v.<hen no owner ca.11 be fouud, or the fine is not paid within a, specified time, that the life of the dog shall be forfeited." SECRETARY'S REPORT. 7 Mr. Wasson said the law passed by the last Legislature for the taxation of dogs failed of effect simply because the enforcement of the law was left to the discretion of the towns. Some put it in force while others did not. Dr. Weston believed we should ask for a tax of two dollars upon each dog. Mr. Jaquith thought we should be apt to overdo the matter if we asked too much of the Legislature in this matter; thought we should recommend a tax of one dollar each on dogs-not leaving it with the towns-and that the money so raised should constitute a fund for the payment of the losses caused by the ravages of dogs to sheep. Mr. Goodale said it was not the province of the Board to dictate laws ; but he believed the Board should demand, in behalf of the farmers of the State, protection to sheep husbandry against dogs, and leave it to the Legislature to make such a law as was required. Mr. Anderson thought the resolves should be amended by ask­ ing for a tax of one dollar instead of two, as the resolves asked for. The ohject of the tax was designed to remove a special hin­ drance to sheep husbandry, and not as a tax upon the dog as a rev­ enue based upon the value of the animal. Mr. Bigelow agreed with the remarks of Mr. Goodale, and made a few remarks in favor thereof, drawn from his own experience ; believed the best means of getting rid of the dogs was to kill them. The resolves were referred to a Committee, who subsequently reported for the adoption of the Board the following resolution : Resolved, That in the opinion of the Board of Agriculture, the iimportant interests of sheep husbandry demand of the Legislature the enactment of a law which shall impose a tax on all the dogs kept in the State, sufficiently large to afford adequate protection; and that the imposition of this tax should not be left to the discre­ tion of the several cities and towns, but should be imperative. The resolution was adopted, and the Secretary was instructed to lay th~ same before the Legislative Committee on Agriculture. It may not be improper here to say that, a.r:; usual, no action was taken by the Legislature in this matter. One reason, and perhaps the most potent one, undoubtedly is because the leading politicians of the party dominant at any tinie are unwilling to incur the ridi­ cule which may attach, however unjustly, to a so called dog law, 8 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. and which the opposition would use to their disadvantage. When the voters understand this, and will take care of the ridicule, they can have protection to sheep husbandry as easily as anything else they ask for. At an informal meeting, the subject of sheep hnsbandry was dis­ cussed, and some of the statements are given below. Mr. Haines desired information regarding a disease with which lambs are affected in Aroostook County, but which he had never known elsewhere. They have swelled necks when they are born, and usually die in about a week. (Scrofula?) From some of them he had cut out bunches half as large as an egg. In some cases one-fourth of the sheep died. Best Time to Shear Sheep. Dr. ·w eston said the farmers in Pe­ nobscot County were beginning to shear their sheep in April, and thought the plan had much to recommend it. Mr. Bigelow. Never shears his sheep until warm weather, if it is not until July. Washes before shearing. The wool would not be so clean by washing in April as it wonld to wash in June. Had never sheared earlier than the 15th of June. Keeps the Spanish Merino, and when selecting a buck pays particular attention to the form and build of the animal, regarding it as equal in importance to the quality of the wool. Invariably feeds his sheep upon the snow in cool weather. In moderate weather in winter prefers to have them in an open yard, rather than crowded together in an unventilated place. Feeds often, giving just what they will eat. Can winter six sheep upon the hay that would keep a cow. A mixture of grasses is preforred for sheep. Hon. Mr. I-Iitchborn, in response to a call from the Chair, made some interesting remarks regarding the importance of sheep hus­ bandry to our State ; refc.rreu to the vast amount of money sent out for foreign wool, and which should be kept at home; and also of the great interests of agriculture as the leading pursuit of the people of Maine.

Five o f these seven left a lasting legacy as chief ex­ ecutives o f the state.
