matched, good size, middling age, in good flesh well worked on, and 

 are capable of performing a large amount of labor. 



Mares and Colts. 



Best breeding mare, with colt bj her side, E. T. Boothby, of 

 Limington, first premium. 



Oilman Wells, of Wells, second premium. 



Best two years old colt, James Leavitt, Saco, first premium. 



Peter Hill, Buxton, second premium. 



Manufactures and Incidentals. 



From full and lengthy reports on Manufactures and Incidentals, 

 are selected the following : 



Mrs. Margery Boothby of Saco, fifty-seven and a half yards 

 domestic flannel that was spooled and warped and drawn in, the 

 quills quilled and wove, in seven days and one half, by an old lady 

 seventy-four years old, and she did some house work in the time. 

 This piece of flannel was well spun and wove, and when finished will 

 do credit to the manufacturer. 



Rufus Mclntire of Parsonsfield showed one jar molasses or syrup 

 made from sweet apples, which the Committee think much superior 

 to either of the specimens of cane syrup entered. 



Three of Watson's cheap sewing machines, with Boyd's improve- 

 ment, were exhibited with specimens of the work made by them. 

 The Committee cannot perceive why these machines may not do the 

 work of the more expensive ones, and become an indispensable article 

 of domestic economy in every dwelling house of our farmers and 

 mechanics. The Committee recommend the Society's Diploma to 

 Messrs. Boyd & Storer for their enterprise in introducing this simple, 

 cheap, and effective instrument for labor-saving, into the county. 



Enoch Moody entered an eight spoke wheelbarrow — rim of white 

 oak, sides of white ash, boards of hard pine. 



Improvements. — Two shoe braces, giving unusual firmness to the 

 legs. Ten bolts, which enable you, should any part of the barrow 

 get broken, or need repairing, to take it apart with greater ease.
