REPORT OF THE JUDGES ON. TESTING PLOUGHS. 



The undersigned judges on testing of ploughs at White Plains 

 on the 7th inst., under directions of the Board of Agriculture of 

 the American Institute, report that we award the following pre- 

 miums on ploughs : 



B. Myer, STewark, N. J., plough No. 9i, furrow 16 inches wide 

 and 8 inches deep. First premium. 



John Moore, N. Y., plough No. 21, furrow 16 inches wide and 

 8 inches deep. Second premium. 



John Moore, N. Y, plough No. 19|, furrow 12 inches wide and 

 6 inches deep. First premium. 



John Moore, N. Y., plough No. 19, furrow 12 inches wide and 

 6 inches deep. Second premium. 



We also recommend a special premium or diploma to Messrs- 

 Minor, Horton & Co., for their clipper plough, being well adapted 

 for clay soil and deep ploughing. 



We also recommend a special premium or diploma to Messri. 

 Eddy & Co., of Union Village, Washington county, for their iron 

 plough, being a superior plough for rough land. 



The great importance of deep ploughing requires a suggestion, 

 that in future premiums on ploughs, no premium be awarded foir 

 less depth than eight or seven inches ploughing.
