of protecting any certain amount of yard-ma- 

 nure. Itajipears from tlu above resiilta that 

 Lord Kin naird got aljout 125 hasliL-lsof wheat 

 more Irom tiie ten acres mamuvd with coven d 

 dung, than from the ten acres which had lieen ma- 

 nured with the uncovered. In wlieat alone, thin, 

 without talking potatoes or wheat straw into ac- 

 count, the difference in favor of covered maiiuiCB 

 was quite couHideraMc. 



This would saeai to render it evident that ma- 

 nures are euhjecied to great loss of fertilizing power 

 by exposure to lieatw and storms. The expeii- 

 ment iiere giv -n do.-s not note the extent of the 

 exposure. 



VIEW OF FAEM3. 



By reference to our advertising columns, it will 

 be seen that the Committee on Farms for Middle- 

 sex County, propose to commence their annual 

 tour of examin.ition about the first of 8.'pteml)cr. 

 It is tlieir duty to examine entire farms, ah^o 

 meadows, orchards, cranberry meadows, forest 

 trees, &o. iS;j. Tia competition on entire farms 

 has not heretofore l)een wide enough. _ The com- 

 mittee feel confident tliat there are weli-con.lacted 

 and profitable farim in every part of tlio count} 

 that have not been o31cially examined, and upon 

 which no report of the mode of management has 

 over been given to the people. It is hoped that 

 this year the applications will be more numerous.

rr.HE superior merits of these Plows consist ni 

 i 1. The mode of attaching the forward mould-board to th« 

 beam, by which great strength and durability are secured, as also 

 the various desirable changes in debt of work and relative depth 

 of each plow, the same being regulated to any shade of nicety, 

 with perfect facility! 



2. The entire and handsome overturning of the sod furrow, by 

 the forward mould-board, to the extent of the wliole width of fur- 

 row taken by the plow, placing it beneath, out of the way of the 

 teeth of the harrow; cultivator, or other implement. So that it L» 

 in no caae dragged to the surface in the after cultiviition of the 

 crop : 



3. The thorough and finished work done by the rear mould- 

 board, in taking up its furrow of under soil and sifting or scat- 

 tering it over the inverted sod, so as to entirely fill to the surface, 

 and at the same time br'-ak open any undue cohesion of the soil, 

 leaving the plowed land in a perfectly pulverized* condition, re- 

 quiring little labor with the harrow or other surface-working in- 

 strument, — and indeed, in all tolerably free hams,' rendering the 

 use of these instruments, as pulverizers, quite unnecessary : 



4. The remarkably light draught of the plow, in proportion to 

 the amoaiit of work and the thoroughness of pulverization ac- 

 complished. 



Several size.s of the BOSTON AND WORCESTER EAGLE 

 DOUBLE PLOW, are made by the subscribers, from patterns of 

 their own original invention. They invite th- ir friends and cus- 

 tomers to examiuc these Plows, as to qnality and durability of 

 material, thoroughness and finish of constnictii.n, and to test 

 their working properties.
