The Victor Lever Hay Cutter is a new and simple imple- 

 ment. The knife has a heavy iron handle, which materially 

 decreases the labor of cutting. It must be an extra machine 

 for cutting corn stalks. 



The Committee make honorable mention of the large ex- 

 hibits of Parker & Gannett. Would recommend the atten- 

 tion of formers to their Nourse new IXL Swivel Ploughs. 

 They claim that to-day it is the plough for both side hill and 

 level land, that it is 25 per cent, lighter draft than any other

 hibit of Root Cutters, Meat Choppers, Prize Blanchard C. C. 

 M. Churn. In fact their exhibit comprises nearly every thing 

 necessary to a well regulated farm. 



The Committee would do injustice to the firm of E. E. 

 Lummus & Co., not to mention their fine exhibit, although

 made to straddle the row. It is on the same principle as the 

 Randall Hari-ow. 



They also exhibit the New Model Warrior Mower, which is 

 the old Warrior much simplified and reduced in weight, and
