Our attention was particularly drawn in the exhibit of the 

 Messrs. Whittemore Bros., of Boston, to the Oliver's Chilled 

 Ploughs, manufactured at South Bend, Ind., and introduced 

 into New England by this house last November. The metal 

 is the hardest and finest grained of any metal used in ploughs, 

 and the only one perfectly adapted for use in all soils. The 

 plough is of very light draft, easily adjusted, does excellent 

 work, and is very durable, and must come into extensive use 

 as it becomes known. Also well adapted for meadow land ; the 

 team walking on the sward. This house also show their Cham- 

 pion Wheel Rake, with patent sled runner teeth, so made 

 that they do not scratch up the ground and dust the hay, a 

 decided improvement over all other steel-tooth rakes. This 

 is very simple in construction and can be easily handled by a 

 boy. 



Walter A. Wood's new enclosed gear Mower, was also 

 shown. The well earned reputation of this company being 

 a sufficient guarantee of its excellence both in workmanship 

 and working qualities in the field.
