28 ON PLOWING. 



No. 2. Wm. R. Putnam, of Wenham ; himself plow- 

 man ; plow made by Ploward, of Hingham ; 37 minutes, 



16 furrows. 



No. 3. Town farm in Danvers ; Warren Jewett, 

 plowman ; plow made by Huggles & Co. ; 27 minutes, 

 15 furrows. This work was done with more energy and 

 dispatch than either of the others. But as the team was 

 not regularly entered at the proper time, the committee 

 did not feel at liberty to recommend a premium. The 

 cattle were at least equal to any on the field. 



No. 4. Asa M. Bodwell, of Methuen ; himself plow- 

 man ; plow made by Ruggles & Co. ; 40 minutes, 17 

 furrows. 



No. 5. Nathan Tapley, of Danvers ; Joseph C. Put- 

 nam, plowman ; plow made by Ruggles & Co. ; 46 

 minutes, 16 furrows. 



No. 6. Timothy F. Wilkins, of Middleton ; his son 

 plowman ; plow made by Ruggles k, Co. ; 44 minutes, 



17 furrows. For this was awarded the 2d premium. 

 No. 7. Isaac Osgood, of Andover ; his farmer plow- 

 man ; plow made by Prouty & Co. ; 44 minutes, 18 

 furrows. For this was awarded the 3d premium. 



No. 8. Allen Putnam, of Wenham ; his farmer plow- 

 man ; plow made by Howard ; 37 minutes, 16 furrows. 

 For this was awarded the 1st premium. 



No. 9. Periey Tapley, of Danvers ; himself plow- 

 man ; plow made by Ruggles & Co. ; 49^ minutes, 19 

 furrows. This work was well done — in the opinion of 

 the Committee equal to any on the field ; but as the 

 cattle used had heretofore obtained the Society's first 

 premium for similar work, the Committee understood that 

 a premium could not be awarded for this work, consist- 

 ent with the established regulations and usages of the 

 Society. If the Committee were mis^informed on this 

 point, Mr. Tapley will be entitled to a favorable notice 

 from the Trustees. They cheerfully bear testimony to 

 Mr. Tapley's superior skill in handling a plow. 



No. 10. Edmund Bartlett, of Methuen ; himself 

 plowman ; plow made by Prouty & Co. ; 48 minutes, 

 19 furrows.
