532 Report of the Trials of Ploughs, Harrotvs, ^r., at Hull. 
The standard of excellence of work will be the same as that laid down by 
the Society I'or the Newcastle Meeting, viz. : — 
" That the ])lough should cut the sole of the fuiTow perfectly flat, leave 
the land-side clear and true, lay the furrow slices with uniformity, with 
I^erpendicular cut of the laud-side, leaving a roomy horse-walk. That 
it should have an efficient skim-coulter, be light in draught, simple, 
strong, and economical in construction." 
Ploughs will be tested by a dynamometer, and drawn by steam-power during 
such test. 
Each plough must go at least one round drawn by steam, and with the 
dynamometer attached, but not registcrinrr, so that it may open its own work 
prior to having its draught tested. The draught will be registered on not less 
than four different furrows, and averaged to ensiu-e accuracy. 
Each competitor may iise a new or sharp share and coulter during the 
dynamometer trials, but these must be of the same shape and make as those 
which he has used during the rest of the trial. 
When tested on the dynamometer, each plough shall have a share cutting the 
same width of groimd, namely : — 
For a 9-incli furrow, not less than 7i inches wide ; and for a 12-inch fur- 
row, not less than 10 inches, measuring across the wing. 
The length from the point of the share to the end of the breast will be 
measured along the centre of the l)reast. 
The following' are the names of the Judges : —

The Wheel Ploughs were divided into three classes, viz. 
those suitable for light, medium, and heavy soils. The weights 
respectively not to exceed 2, and 3 cwt. As the implements 
shown l)j the difierent competitors in each class were precisely the 
same in principle, only differing in the strengtli of material, one 
description will suffice. I propose, therefore, to describe the
