422 WISCONSIN AGRICULTUEE. 



Seeder and Harrow — a useful machine to pulverize and seed 

 the soil. 



Self emptying Well Bucket — an ingenious and useful article — • 

 worthy o^ general adoption. 



Chinese Sugar Cane — of which there were several good arti- 

 cles on exhibition. 



Filters^ for Rain and River Water — for purifying rain, river 

 and pool water, fit for drinking and other uses — a subject wor- 

 thy of more general attention, particularly in prairie and other 

 dry regions. 



Doors, Sash and Blinds — articles of good material and work- 

 manship. 



Grindstones — Lake Huron and others — well hung and fin- 

 ished. — Friction Matches — good, and sure fire. 



Cojfee Corn — somewhat resembling the sugar cane, and said 

 to be good for forage. 



Sign Painting and Glass Gilding — two competitors, who pre- 

 sented beautiful work, of both kinds. 



Model Steam, Engine, Rifles, <&c. — all exhibiting ingenuity and 

 skillful workmanship. 



Type Casting Machine — a novel and active little foundry, 

 which rattled out the fine, perfect type, fast as the boys could 

 count — and a good machine for new towns and cities, where 

 extensive type foundries could not be supported. 



Currant Wines — several specimens and varieties which were 

 clear and of excellent flavor — some of them equal to any we 

 ever drank, in flavor and clearness. 



New Cider — of Wisconsin product, and very good — smacking 

 spicily of our old down-east homes — the moral question of coii- 

 yerting fruits into ex])ilarating drinks, we leave with the moral 

 philosophers whose province it is to discuss those questions, 

 while we like to drink good cider and wine, as well as to eat 

 good fruits. 



Ca7iary Bi7'ds — four fine looking, cheerful, singing little birds, 

 as they were perched in the beautiful arbor of Colby's rustic 

 and floral design, which elicited much admiration.
