tion. We see a machine and wonder how it would work in the field, 

 and if a farmer could have this opportunity of testing implements, 

 it would save him the trouble of carrying home one after another, 

 and perhaps, at last, taking one that does not suit him because it is 

 at hand. 



I have no doubt that it would prove a great advantage to manufac- 

 turers of farm machinery if they could be bi-ought in contact with 

 those who use them in this way. There are weak points in many 

 machines which do not appear at first sight. In using implements I 

 have noticed many little changes which could be made for convenience 

 of handling, and more effective work. I hope the officers of this 

 society will take these matters into consideration in making up the 

 premium list next season.
