1854, and which they are well assured has done much good ser- 

 vice in Boxford, Andover and Bradford, the present season. 



To Messrs. Nourse & Co., of the Eagle Agricultural Ware- 

 house, Boston, they award $10, for a hay-cutter, prepared to 

 guard against cutting off boys' fingers. 



The committee had intended to make some further remarks 

 on the materials proper to be used in the structure of farm 

 implements, and the manner of finishing the same, btit are 

 admonished by the space already taken, that it may not be ex-

 ments of Messrs. Porter, Loring and Ware, all of which are 

 drawn with care, truthfulness and ability, be published in con- 

 nection with this report. 



J. W. Proctor, Chairman.
