ON PLOWING, 23 



ty & Co.; 2d size. Work done in 41 minutes, with 19 

 furrows, irregularly laid, as compared with others. 



No. 9. James Stevens, 2d, of Andover, owner; 

 Franklin Kimball, plowman; John Martin, driver; plow 

 made by Prouty & Co.; size A. Work done in 40 

 minutes with 17 furrows. This team was a pair of oxen 

 and a horse; they worked remarkably well and quick, 

 and with little fatigue. Their work was done as well as 

 any on the field; but in the opinion of a majority of the 

 Committee, the team was not such a dcuble team as was 

 contemplated when the premiums were' offered — of 

 consequence not a regular competitor for the premium.* 

 A gratuity equal to half the 1st premium is recommen- 

 ded for this performance. 



No. 10. Jedediah H. Barker, of Andover, owner; 

 Otis M. Clark, plowman; J. H. Barker, driver; plow 

 made by Prouty &. Co.; size B. Work done in 52 

 minutes, with 19 furrows; not cut so true as some, wide 

 and flat. This team was well trained, as Mr. Barker's 

 cattle always are. 



No. 11. Samuel F. Barker, of Andover, owner; 

 Timothy Faulkner, plowman; Samuel M. Barker, dri- 

 ver; plow made by Prouty & Co.; sod C. Work done 

 in 58 minutes, with 20 furrows. This land was less 

 favorable for plowing than most of the others; it w^as 

 considered well plowed, and laid, but not the depth re- 

 quired. 



No. 12. John F. Carlton, of Andover, owner; Sime- 

 on Foster, plov/man; J. F. Carlton, driver; plow made 

 by Prouty & Co.; size A. Work done in 60 minutes, 

 with 21 furrows. This was laid very smooth indeed, 

 and in all respects well done. To this work was awar- 

 ded the fourth premium. 



No. 13. Samuel Jenkins, jr., of Andover, owner; 

 John F. Foster, plowman; Samuel Jenkins, jr., driver; 

 plow made by Prouty c^- Co.; size A. Work done in 

 51 minutes, with 20 furrows. Very perfectly done in- 

 deed, and quick, without hurry or fatigue, evincing skill 



* Since this decision was made, the Board of Trustees have determined that 

 a team like this may properly be admitted as a competitor for these premiums.
