Agricultural Implements. 



There were but few farm implements presented, in conse- 

 quence, as was supposed, of the Mechanics' Fair at Boston be- 

 ing open, and most of the articles of that kind being on exhi- 

 bition there. One of Delano's Independent Horse Rakes was 

 exhibited by Charles Gill, of Exeter, N. H,, and put in operation 

 on the field. It performed the work in a clean and rapid man- 

 ner, and was judged to be one of the farmer's most useful labor 

 saving machines. A gratuity of $5 was awarded to its exhib- 

 itor.
