PLOUaHINa WITH DOUBLE TEAMS. 



The Committee on Ploughing with double teams, report as fol- 

 lows : — 



There were fourteen teams upon the field which competed for the 

 premiums. The lands were very unequal, and some of them quite 

 stony, making it somewhat difficult for the Committee to decide 

 where the most skill was exercised ; but after a careful observation 

 of the work, they recommend that the premiums be awarded as 

 follows : 



To Richard S. Bray, of Newbury, work done with Ruggles, Nourse, 

 Mason & Co's. Michigan plough, No. 35 1-2, in fifty-one 



minutes, first premium, $8 00 



" Jedediah H. Barker, of Andover, work done with 

 Prouty & Mears' Michigan plough, No. 85, in fifty- 

 nine minutes, second premium, 7 00 



" Harvey A. Gould, of Andover, work done with Rug- 

 gles, Nourse, Mason & Co's. Eagle plough. No. 75, 



in forty-eight minutes, third premium, 6 00 



" Charles M. Davis, of Byfield, work done with Prouty 

 & Mears' Michigan plough, No. 85, in forty-two 



minutes, fourth premium, 5 00 



" Josiah M. Abbott, of Andover, work done with Mar- 

 tin's plough, in thirty-seven minutes, fourth premium, 4 00
