AGEICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



The Committee on Agiicultural Implements report : That while 

 there were no entries made with the Secretary in this Division, there 

 were a large number of articles on exhibition. The fact that no pre- 

 miums are offered in this department seems to have given exliibitors 

 the impression that it is unnecessary to make any entries of their 

 articles, but that to deposit them anywhere on the grounds would 

 insure thek proper examination. It will be at once apx^arent that 

 such a state of things could only result in a very imperfect and un- 

 satisfactory examination by the committee. J. A. Brewer,, of Great 

 Barrington, exhibited a full line of Plows, Harrows, Cultivators, 

 Horse Eakes, and the justly popular New Champion Mowing Ma- 

 chines and Reapers, and is entitled to the thanks of the Society for 

 the interesting display. R. B. Bradley & Co., of New Haven, showed 

 the Albion Spring Tooth Harrow, an implement new to this vicinity, 

 and which seems to have some very desii'able features. Also the 

 well known Baldwin Feed Cutter, and several Plows and other im- 

 plements of modern origin and superior finish. Other exhibitors, 

 some of whose names could not be obtained, showed the New War- 

 rior, the Walter xi. Wood and the New Model Buckeye Mowing Ma- 

 chines. The OKver Chilled, the Wiard, the Gale, and the Automatic 

 Reversible Plows ; the LaDow and the Randal Pulverizing Harrows ; 

 the A. W. Gray Horse Power and Thresher ; the Thomas Smoothing 

 Harrow ; the Burrall Corn Sheller ; a Road Scraper, which has proved 

 in this vicinity a very efficient and economical implement for use on 

 the pubHc roads ; and Fanning jVIills, warranted to separate the wheat
