From the Report on Agricultural Implements. 



We were present at the ploughing-match on Wednesday, and after 

 examining the work done by two ploughs, one breaking-up manufac- 

 tured at Damariscotta Mills, the other at Washington, we give the 

 preference to Hussey's patent manufactured at Washington, and 

 award it the first premium. 



We also noticed a very good looking plough made at Union, but 

 as it was not used we could not judge of its merits correctly. 



A rock weed hoe was exhibited by Joseph Hunter of Bristol, 

 which appeared like a very useful article for scraping rock weed 

 from the rocks. We thought it a very good tool though not much 

 acquainted with its practical use. 



A churn was exhibited made at Rockland, by Wm. F. Lovejoy, 

 which looked like a good working machine and was said by a lady 

 who was present, who had used it, to do the work in great style, but 

 as your Committee did not see it operate in milk, we could not judge 

 of its superiority, but thought it might do well.
