Quince in a glass jar of brine. The peculiarities of this quince are rapid growth, 

 early bearing, great productiveness, and excellent flavor. He also showed two 

 photographs of his orchard and two photographs of his style of pruning. 



B. C. Patterson, Torrington, from " Golden Farm," exhibited a variety of apple 

 for name. Name not known ; called the Forbidden Fruit. A delicious apple. 



The Cooley Creamer and Davis Swing Churn were also on exhibition, and ap- 

 proved samples of beautiful butter, from the Newington Creamery, were also 

 exhibited. 



L. F. Scott, of Bethlehem, also showed butter from his farm, which was very 

 nice. 



D. K. Crofut, of Derby, exhibited a new clevis of merit. 



G. M. Pratt, of Middletown, Conn., an alarm gun for peach orchards, melon 

 beds, chicken roosts, and city yards. It attracted much attention and was highly- 

 approved. 



The model of the Pennock Koad Scraper was exhibited and admired. This is 

 one of the valuable improvements which should be generally adopted by Connec- 

 ticut towns. 



Samples of ensilage were exhibited by James Hoyt of New Canaan, and Amos- 

 E. Cobb of Norwich. A nice corn-stalk binder was shown (card lost) ; also a 

 leader for cows, attaching to the horns (card lost).

Mr. Jeffries also had samples of bees and comb, and instructed all interested in 

 bees, as he had opportunity. 



Messrs. S. M. Buckingham, A. N. Burrit, and Mr. Elton would severally have 

 made fine contributions of greenhouse plants, but on account of the storm and 

 low temperature, they found it too hazardous to risk the exposure of the plants, 

 and they were justly excusable. 



Most of the vegetables were at my disposal, and were placed in the hands of 

 Mr. Judd of Waterbuiy, who dispenses provisions to the worthy poor, which, 

 with a fine lot of twenty turkeys, then in his possession, were distributed for their 

 Christmas dinners. 



The articles on the tables were the occasion of much observation and continu- 

 ous discussion a all hours when the hall was open between the hours of session.
