The following articles were also exhibited and deemed worthy 

 of special notice, viz. : — 



Burdick's national fodder cutter, by Frederick Leland, of 

 Sherburne. 



Horse hay fork, by George F. Shaw, of West Roxbury. 



Needle gun and table games, by Eben W. Keys, of Charleston. 



Patent artificial fertilizer, by H. E. Pond, of Franklin. 



This last-named article was brought to our notice as a new 

 invention. We understand it is composed chiefly of pond mud 

 or meadow muck, which being mixed and chemically combined 

 with other ingredients, forms a very cheap and powerful 

 manure. 



We think Mr. Pond deserves much credit for his efforts in 

 this direction, and hope that when the merits of his invention 

 are fully and practically tested, it will prove an efficient and 

 economical fertilizer. The results of its chemical analysis are 

 appended to this Report. Full particulars may be obtained of 

 H. E. Pond, of Franklin, Mass., or Asa Wade, 16 Commercial 

 Street, Boston. 



Respectfully submitted. 



For the Committee, 



S. W. RICHARDSON, 



Chairman. 

 Franklin, Nov. 27, 1867.
