70 ON PLOUGHING. 



The plough used by Moses Pettingill, as the Committee 

 are informed, was, in some of its parts constructed upon 

 a different plan from the ploughs heretofore manufac- 

 tured by that company. That plough appeared to re- 

 quire less strength of team and less exertion on the part 

 of the holder, than the other plough, — which was not 

 constructed on the same plan. 



Moses Pettingill ploughed thirty-four furrows in fifty- 

 seven mmutes. And the Committee unanimously award 

 him the first premium of $8 00 



Ralph H. Chandler ploughed thirty-two furrows in 

 sixty-two minutes, — and to him is awarded the second 

 premium of $Q 00
