REMARKS. 



C^y^ Double teams will be required to plough not less than seven 

 inches deep ; — single teams not less than five inches deep ; — and 

 each one quarter of an acre of land. The work is not to be done 

 in a hurry ; — but in such a manner as the teams would work three 

 hours together, without extraordinary fatigue. The best work, with 

 lerist expense of labour, will be the test of merit — Particular regard 

 will be had to the construction of the plough used ; — as it is a pri-i 

 mary object in offering these premiums, to introduce to common 

 use, ploughs of the best construction. 



Persons intending to be competitors for these premiums, will give 

 notice of the same to Joseph Kittridge, of Andover, or the Secretary 

 of the Society, on or before the Monday next previouscto the day of 

 Exhibition. Land will be procured for the accommodation of six- 

 teen teams. If more should enter, those first entered will have the 

 preference. — The expense of keeping teams that may travel more 

 than ten miles for this purpose, whether successful or not in the 

 competition, will be paid by the Society, provided it shall not exceed 

 tivo dollars for one team. 



The Ploughing Match will take place at 11 o'clock, A. M. on the 

 day of the annual exhibition.
