RULES. 



All teams entered for draught must have been owned by 

 the person entering the same, for at least three months next 

 previous. 



All teams entered for plowing must be owned by the per- 

 son entering the same, and the team must be driven, and the 

 plow managed by him or by some one usually in his employ. 



Different persons owning single teams may combine them 

 for the purpose of plowing. 



Any person competing for a premium, who shall serve on 

 the committee having charge of the department in which he 

 competes, shall retire from the committee while his own com- 

 petition is in question. 



The several committees will not consider themselves bound 

 by the terms of the above offers, to award a premium for 

 anything which they shall deem inferior. 



Any person to whom a premium shall have been awarded, 

 in consequence of any deception or misrepresentation used 

 by him, shall not only forfeit such premium, but afterward 

 be incapable of competing for the society's premiums. 



All persons, (ladies and minors excepted,) not members of 

 the society, to whom may be awarded a premium or pre- 

 miums amounting to five dollars or upward, shall receive a 

 certificate of membership for five dollars and the balance in 

 cash. If the amount shall be less than five dollars, a deduc- 

 tion of fifty per cent, will be made, unless the individual 

 chooses to make the amount up to that sum, and receive a 

 certificate of membership. 



All premiums not demanded on or before November 30th, 

 will revert to the society.
