AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND 

 PRODUCE. 



The Judges of Agricultural Implements 

 and Produce, in executing the duties of their 

 appointment, have endeavoured to discrimi- 

 nate with correctness and impartiality, and 

 to ascertain with as much precision as pos- 

 sible, the comparative excellence of the va- 

 rious articles presented to their notice. Prac- 

 tical tests of the implements were resorted 

 to, wherever means of so doing were attain- 

 able. The great number and variety of arti- 

 cles exhibited appertaining to the cultiva- 

 tion and productions of farms, show a rapidly 

 increasing interest in the profession of agri- 

 culture, and has rendered the duty of the 

 Judges much more arduous than heretofore.
