ing jf Winded the silver medal to Geo. J. Bergen, 

 of Galesburg. Well, wonders will not cease, and 

 we may not wonder how they came to make the 

 award to this machine. Doultless they were hon- 

 est in their conviction, as at a fair no thorough 

 trial of such an implement can be had. The corn 

 mu t be planted and allowed to grow up so as to 

 show the rows. Year jiftor year just such premi- 

 ums iire made, and yet the planting public persit^t 

 in buying such old fogy machines as G. D. Brown's 

 of Galesburg, Silby, and Elder, and Hay worth, of 

 Springfield. We have been patiently waiting for 

 a planter combined with a roller, but thus far it 

 does not appear, and we have passed our orders 

 over to Brown, for one of his new improved drill 

 planters. This will plant corn, broomcorn, sorgo, 

 bean^;, and is adjustable to wide or narrow rows — 

 to hills — to check-rowing and drill, what more do 

 we want in the way of a planter ? We, the special 

 committee of the people, have now had our way ; 

 and let corn-planter makt rs look well to new, as 

 well as to old laurels.

The show oi sheep was the best that we have 

 had in the West. We have as .good flock? in this 

 State as in any part of the West, and our sheep 

 men may begin to talk of supplying their neigh- 

 bors with the best. There is no longer need to 

 import sheep from Vermont, but more need of 

 Vermont sending here for a new infusion of the 

 best to tone up the health of their flocks.
