PLOUGHING. 25 



way, while others made their path still rougher by their haste. 



When we take into consideration the state of the land, and the 

 depth to which it was ploughed, we think we have seldom, if ever, 

 witnessed more skill displayed in ploughing, than was shown by 

 some of the teams this day. 



The Committee were unanimous in awarding the following pre- 

 miums : 



The first premium of $10 to Jacob Farnum, of North Andover. 



The second premium of $8 to William Foster, of North An- 

 dover. 



The third premium of $6 to S. F. and S. M. Barker, of North 

 Andover. 



The fourth premium of $4 to William F. Porter and James Carl- 

 ton, of Bradford.
