42 ON PLOWS. 



We have endeavored to give as candid and impartial 

 a statement of the operations and character of the differ- 

 ent plows presented to our notice, as our limited obser- 

 vations of their movements would admit. We are aware 

 that several of these plows were brought into the trial 

 under unfavourable circumstances, the land being hard 

 of operation, and requiring plows of larger size. 



In awarding the premiums, we intend them as an ex- 

 pression of our opinion of the comparative merits of the 

 particular plows that have been examined by us, and not 

 of the general character of the plows of the different 

 manufacturers. We do not feel that our experience of 

 their use has been sufficient to justify an expression of 

 such general opinion. 



We award the first prpmiwn, twelve dollars, to Rug- 

 gles &L Co. for their improved Eagle plow, No. 3. 



We do not award the second premium, because the 

 committee were divided in opinion.
