to them to ascertain the draught required. The result 

 was as follows. 



No. 3 Yankee side hill plough — furrow 7 inches deep 

 and 14 inches wide : draught, 650 pounds. 



Granger side hill — furrow 7 inches deep, 15 1-2 inches 

 wide ; draught, 350 pounds. 



North American side hill — furrow 7 inches deep, 14 

 inches wide ; draught, 550 pounds. 



Plough 76 — furrow 7 inches deep, 13 inches wide ; 

 draught 575 pounds. 



National sulky reversible — furrow 7 inches deep, 14 

 inches wide ; draught, 500 pounds. 



Oliver chilled plough, side hill — furrow 7 inches deep, 

 15 inches wide ; draught, 350 pounds. 



Hussey plough, land side — furrow 6 1-2 inches deep, 14 

 inches wide ; draught, 300 pounds. 



Swivel steel Yankee plough — furrow 7 inches deep, 14 

 inches wide ; draught, 400 pounds. 



It will be seen by these figures that the Granger side 

 1 i 111 plough made a furrow one-half inch wider than any 

 other tested and as deep as any other — 7 1-2 inches, while 

 its draught was only 350 pounds. The Hussey land side 

 plough was the only one having a lighter draught, and 

 this may be explained by the fact that its furrow was only 

 6 1-2 inches deep and 14 inches wide. The Granger 

 plough was tested with one pair of horses which worked 

 slow, and another pair which worked faster — both show- 

 ing the same result. 



The harrows Mere also given a practical test, but no 

 figures could be taken to give the relative quantity or 

 quality of their work. Each spectator was his own 

 judge. 



Altogether, the institute was a success and a benefit to 

 farmers. 



For the success which has attended our season's Insti- 

 tutes thanks are due to the Farmer's Clubs and other 

 societies, who with members and friends of this society 

 have procured the free use of halls, comfortably heated, in
