AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



The committee on agricultural implements of the Housatonic agricultu- 

 ral society, at an exhibition of mowing machines, horse rakes, and hay 

 tedders, held upon the grounds of said society, June 23d, 1868, oiler the 

 following report:— 



Man has two natures: one which ranks him with animals, and which may 

 be called his physical or animal nature; and another which ranks him far 

 above animals, and may be called his intellectual or spiritual nature. One 

 of these natures is bounded by time and earth, and the other is boundless 

 as eternity. These two natures are necessarily most intimately connected 

 in this life, and upon the harmony and perfect blending of the two depends 

 man's happiness and success. The more perfect man's physical nature, and 

 the more enlarged and cultivated his intellectual nature, the better ability 

 it gives him to attend to his physical wants. A certain amount of physi- 

 cal exercise is necessary to develop the physical and intellectual nature ; 

 but constant and severe physical labor does not tend to increase man's 

 thinking powers. 



Man intellectually is a progressive being, and that progress is only limited 

 by his ability to grasp the elements, the animal, the vegetable and mineral
