GENERAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE 



ON 



FARM IMPLEMENTS. 



Class B.— No. 25. 



[Note. — "Wo omit such items in this report as have been reported in the general 

 list without special comment. — Ed.] 



Best collection agricultural implements, Barrows & Lund, 

 Janesville. The committee are of the opinion that Messrs. B. 

 & L. are entitled to the thanks of our Society for their efforts to 

 add to the show at the Fair, and would commend their agricul- 

 tural store to the attention of our enterprising farmers and espe- 

 cially to the citizens of Rock county. Diploma. 



Yose, Mitchell & Co., Milwaukee, best and most numerous 

 collection of agricultural implements and gardening tools, man- 

 ufactured in the State. 



What the committee have said of Messrs. B. &. L. above they 

 would also say of Messrs. Vose, M. & Co., and in addition say 

 that the latter are entitled to more credit, for they manufactured 

 the most of their implements on exhibition, and while we would 

 commend each establishment to the patronage of the farming 

 public, we would suggest the propriety of protecting our home 

 manufacturers, quality and prices being equal. Diploma and $5. 



A. Moulton, Rochester, Wis., best sod plow for stiff sod. 

 Diploma. 



R. Vincent, Rockton, HI, This plow is a new invention, the 

 principal characteristic feature of which, is, that instead of the 

 land-side handle being attached to the land-side, as usual, it is 

 bent to the right and attached to the upright supporter of the 

 plow. The committee are of the opinion that this is an im- 

 provement by a saving of friction on the land side handle if it 

 is sufiiciently strongly constructed in this manner. Diploma.
