Shaw of West Roxbiiiy. Also, the Spraouo Mower, presented 

 by W. A. Barrett & Co. of Providence, a light, strong, compact, 

 simple machine, to be operated by horses or oxen, and of much 

 lower cost than any other on exhibition of equal or superior 

 worth. 



Also a ease of exceedingly neat and highly finished farming 

 tools and elegant cutler}^ from the Roby Manufacturing Com- 

 pany of West Chelmsford. 



It is much to be regretted that no fit opportunity is offered 

 for a practical trial of important implements by which alone 

 can their distinctive merits be ascertained. Still n;iore is it to 

 be regretted that so few persons are observed to pay any atten- 

 tion to objects of so much importance to the improvement and 

 profitableness of agriculture. Certainly no other department" of 

 the exhibition is deserving of more careful examination by all 

 who are emplo3'ed in the cultivation of the soil, and wlio regard 

 their own interest, or would promote the prin:iary object of an 

 Agricultural Society..
