IIEPORTS ON PLOUGHING. 



DOUBLE TEAMS. 



Your Committee submit the following Report, viz. : — 



That nine claims were presented for premiums, and so good was 

 the performance of each claimant, that your Committee would be 

 happy, did the means of the Society warrant, to award a premium to 

 each. But the great expenses incurred by the erection of our Agri- 

 cultural Hall, in connection with the usual demands on the Society's 

 funds, preclude the gratification of their wishes. 



Your Committee were unanimous in recommending, that the 

 Society's premiums be awarded as follows, viz. : — First Premium, 

 $10, to S. J. Capen, of Dorchester; Second Premium, $8, to 

 Horace and Moses Whiting, of Dedham ; Third Premium, $6, to 

 A. D. Weld, of West Roxbury ; Fourth Premium, $4, to J. W. 

 Daniels, of Medway. 



In conclusion, your Committee intended to make some remarks 

 on the subject of Ploughing; but, instead of this, they refer 

 with much pleasure to the former Reports of this Society, and 

 especially to an excellent Essay on the " Principles of Ploughing," 

 by Sanford Howard, Esq. 



Respectfully submitted, 



RALPH SANGER, Chairman/ 



Dover, November, 1853.
