84 ON IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



Setting forty to fifty trees is a good day's work for three men in 

 easy land. I consider it all important that all trees should be set 

 out right and with great care and be taken care of after they are 

 set out. The land should be manured and cultivated for years, or 

 at least until the trees come to a bearing state. 



I have been somewhat minute in my statement, (perhaps too 

 much so) hoping that others may be inclined to be a little more par- 

 ticular in setting out Fruit Trees, and in fact all trees, as I believe 

 success mainly depends upon the manner in which they are set out. 



Respectfully your ob't servant,

ON IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



The Committee on Improved Agricultural Implements have paid 

 all the attention in their power to that branch of the Show. 



They consider it an object of high importance to aflbrd the hand 

 laborers an opportunity to compare side by side, the various tools in- 

 dispensable to the successful cultivation of a farm. And this portion 

 of the annual exhibition should be encouraged, to enable every farm- 

 er to compare and make such a selection as seems to him best suited 

 to his particular wants. 



In the hurried view and description of articles, the committee may 

 have failed to notice some that were exhibited. They noticed, from 

 the establishment of Parker & White of Boston, a great variety of 

 farm tools of good construction and high finish. 



Among them were, a Horse Rake, the common revolver with iron 

 pointed teeth ; also a roller attached, to keep the head of the rake 

 fajsed from the ground. The roller has not been seen by the com- 

 imittee on any rake formerly exhibited. 



Also, a Revolving Spring Tooth Rake, an article not long in use 

 here. 



8 Straw €u,tte.rs, of different sizes. 



8 Ploughs. 



1 do^en Concave Hoes, a superior article.
