domestic manufactures, and garden vegetables. Several fine 

 varieties of fruit were entered, including some apples and pears 

 wliicli could hardly be excelled in any part of tlie State. But 

 two lots of poultry, and only one of swine, were presented. The 

 number of agricultural implements and carriages was not large ; 

 but what there were, gave evidence of superior skill and work- 

 manship. In the manufacture of plows and carriages, it is con- 

 fidently believed that this county is not behind any in the State. 



The amount of premiums awarded was about $200. 



On the afternoon of the second day, an address was delivered 

 by T. H. Brown, Esq., of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. 

 Your obedient servant, 



N. C. Farnsworth, Secretary.
