Reports of Committees. 43 



will be made. The agriculturist is watching for new improvements in agricultural 

 instruments. Why not encourage the manufacturers to come to our fair and com- 

 pete for a premium, and thus advertise the good implements, and make farmers ac- 

 Quainted with them, and test them. 



The Committee were happy to notice Bradley's Sup. Phosphate of Lime, a good 

 article, was on exhibition. This is a house of good reputation, and the communit}' 

 can rely upon what they advertise. This article is being used in our county as a 

 quick fertilizer, and is worthy of every farmer's attention. 



Two illuminating stoves were exhibited by Chas. B. Redfiekl, manufactured by 

 Treadwell Stove Co., Albany. They are worthy of the attention of our community, 

 so many are now changing from wood to coal stoves. All the new improvements 

 will be found in this stove. 



Numerous were the articles produced which we cannot mention in detail. Many 

 tine specimens of implements for the farm were worthy of notice, and added much 

 to our exhibition. Where we thought there was merit, we gave a small premium. 



We trust there will be a still larger exhibition in this department next year, and 

 more money to award, that the deserving may have larger premiums, who are doing 

 so much to produce implements of husbandry.
