 plements, to D. O. Prouty, •'$3. 



For the next best do., to E. Chandler, $4. 



The committee examined with care, and 

 thought favourably, of the Bone-Crushing 



Machine exhibited by Dr. Governeur Emer- 

 son, but deemed it inexpedient to form a 

 conclusion on the merits of so important an 

 implement, without seeing it in actual use. 

 They recommend that the premium remain 

 open to him until practical demonstration 

 can be had of its utility. 



AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE. 



For the best busliel of wheat, — Mediter- 

 ranean — to S. C. Ford, S3.

 duce, generally, to H. E. Lutz, $4.

The committee also report with much 

 satisfaction, that the general display of ag- 

 ricultural implements and produce, was 

 highly creditable, and they particularly note 

 as worthy of commendation, the Grain Win- 

 nower, from John Bamborough, of Lancas- 

 ter, Pa. ; a Compound Centre-draught Har- 

 row, and a box of farmers' tools, including a 

 very neat Meat Chopper and a Saussage 

 StufFer, from Mr. Prouty; a Cider Press 

 from J. Amey, of Rising-Snn ; a Machine 

 for crushing and grinding corn-stalks, from 

 E. Chandler; a great variety of ploughs 

 were deposited by W. Beach, J. & S. Paw- 

 ling, M. Smith, Garrett &. Son, E. Chandler, 

 D. O. Prouty, and John Stnithers. They 

 were neat in construction, and most of them 

 apparently well adapted to their important 

 purpose ; but their merits must undergo the 

 test of trial by another committee on the 

 18th inst. There was also on the ground, 

 an apparatus from Mr. Dutton, for making- 

 ice rapidly in the winter season, which in 

 some locations may be useful. Besides the 

 produce for which premiums were awarded, 

 the committee recommended to notice, ap- 

 ples in great variety, from W. Foulke and 

 S. S. Richie. 



Sugar beets, ruta-baga, carrots, corn, po- 

 tatoes, and otiier productions from Messrs.
