had no opportunity to test their practical operations, therefore 

 cannot discriminate as to the relative merits of each. 



C. Stedman and Joel Morse, of Medfield, exhibited Newland's 

 Patent Corn Sheller. 



Wm. B. Wadman, of Boston, offered his Patent Oscillating 

 Coal Sifter. 



S. R. Streeter, of Boston, offered the model of Howe & Mur- 

 dock's Stump Extractor, or Lifting Jack. This implement would 

 seem to combine many desirable qualities, not only to the farmer 

 but to the mechanic. It can be used for extracting stumps and 

 for raising heavy bodies. If it can accomplish all that is claimed 

 for it, it should meet with favor by all who desire such an imple- 

 ment. The fact that the several Navy Yards are to be supplied 

 with them, speaks well for their value as a Lifting Jack, and the 

 same principle which makes them of utihty in this capacity, will 

 recommend them to the farmer as a Stump Extractor.

REPORT ON CARRIAGES. 



There were but two carriages entered, one carryall and one 

 milk wagon, both by S. E. Morse, of Dedham. The Committee 

 would recommend a premium of $2 on the carryall ; also, a pre- 

 mium of $3 on the covered milk wagon, it being a very nice and 

 convenient carriage for the use for which it is designed.
