” ‘They came across a little boy 5 years old, from Fairfax county, Va., named Horace Bayley, driving in yoke two beautiful heifer calves, 6 weeks old, which he had himself broken in 3 weeks; he drove them with such accuracy, and they were so perfectly docile and well broken, that forcibly it brought to your committee the recollection of the passage in the Holy Scripture, of the fiercest animal being led by a little child.  Your committee without hesitation recommend unanimously to the consideration of the committee on discretionary premiums, to award to this child the best premium their duty will allow, and that it be given to himself; and would recommend to the notice of the Society this novel sight.’  JOSIAH W. WARE, Chairman.” Reference Data: American Farmers' Magazine, Vol 3, 1850, page 394
