Agricultural Implements. 



The Committee on Agricultural Implements find that the 

 greatest variety was exhibited by Messrs. Fry and Hussey of 

 North Berwick, and to thera we award the Society's first pre- 

 mium. 



Two of the committee have used the same variety of plows 

 as those exhibited, and know something of their qualities from 

 actual experience, and consider them superior to any used in 

 this vicinity. Although they are some two inches higher than 

 common, and have the advantage of clearing themselves, they 

 draw ecjually as easy as those so low as to require clearing. 



The beams of those exhibited were larger than necessary, 

 but this should not be considered an objection, as we are aware 

 that it is not the case with all of their plows. 



There was also exhibited an ox cultivator, which we consider 

 of superior qualities. 



Knowing that these implements are manufactured frpm the 

 best material, both wood and iron, we recommend them to the 

 farmers of this vicinity.

 days each. Three months, neither more nor less, shall elapse 

 between two periods of trial aforesaid, and the last trial shall
