SOD AND SUBSOIL PLOWING. 



Mr. Wm. S. Ware's team was the only one that came under 

 our charge. He did his work well, aye, very well. He turned 

 in the glebe and brought up the subsoil at least nine inches from 

 the surface, leaving not a spear of grass to be seen. It gave us 

 pleasure to see how even in depth and width and straight he cut 

 his furrows. His plowing would compare favorably with that of 

 the colored yeomanry of the South. We therefare award to Wm. 

 S. Ware, of Needham, the first premium, $10. 



It is but just to say that Mr. Ware used Messrs. Whittemore, 

 Belcher & Co.'s No. 50 Michigan Plow, and we would recommend 

 it favorably to the farmers of Norfolk County.

SINGLE OX TEAMS. 



The Committee on single ox teams report but one entry ; that, 

 the well-known and well-trained team of Daniel Sullivan, of Do- 

 ver, using the Doe plow E 4 by Whittemore & Belcher. Your 

 Committee think that but little can be added to his well-establish- 

 ed reputation as a plowman, the work being done in his usual skil- 

 ful and workman-like manner, in the opinion of your Committee, 

 as well if not better than any performed on the ground, and were 

 unanimous in awarding him the first premium of six dollars. Time 

 occupied in plowing, forty minutes.
