Agricultural Implements. 



Committee -VvAwV D. Rowe. Great Barrington. 



This department is open to competitors from all parts of the country. 



The principal o))ject in forming this department is to give manufacturers 

 and dealers an opportunity to exhibit, and farmers a chance to examine and 

 learn about the several implements and improvements that are being made 

 for their use. 



No premiums will be awarded in this department, on account of the 

 difficulty of properly testing the implements. Articles from this depart- 

 ment will be taken from the depot and back again free of expense, and 

 arrangements will be made, if possible, to have the railroad freight at half 

 fare. Ample out-door space will be given free for the sale as well as the ex- 

 hibition of Agricultural Implements.
