structure when spread out into harrow size we can readily 

 endorse its great excellency, and do not wonder that it has 

 won golden opinions from some of our most extensive 

 market gardeners, for thus it becomes the famous Breed's 

 weeder improved upon by having a wheel addition, which 

 enables the farmer to handle it much more easily than in 

 the old form, especially when he makes his turns at the 

 ends of his rows. 



The Beverly Engine & Machine Co. exhibited and had 

 working on the ground a little one and a half horse-power 

 engine, run by gasoline or a motor, at a cost of a cent 

 and a half per hour per horse power. As a water pump 

 it has the capacity of lifting sixty gallons one hundred 

 feet per minute. The price was '1125. The firm manu- 

 factures up to five horse power. We are glad to be able 

 to announce that such powers are being manufactured 

 within our county. 



Among the exhibits of market wagons we were glad to 

 see present specimens of the work of those famous builders 

 of old, Messrs. Pike & Whipple, a firm which for long 

 years has done honor to the reputation of the wagon build- 

 ers of Essex County. 



In specifying prices for three of the novelties exhibited 

 we have done so with the view of increasing the practical 

 value of our report.
