EXPLANATION OF THE MEDAL. 



1 . *1 plough ;—'and oxen, at rest. One pawing ;— impatient 

 tinder idleness ;-^the other, looking for the arrival of the 

 ploughman.— This emblem is preferred to the plough with hor- 

 ses ;-^to shoxv, emphatically, the Society's desire to encourage 

 the use of oxen, and the breeding of cattle. 



EXPLANATION OF THE REVERSE. 



2. Agricultural implements; honourable badges of hus- 

 bandmen. More estimable and generally useful, than armo- 

 rial bearings.
