xxxii Conditions relating to Implements. 
C50NDITI0NS EELATING TO IMPLEMENTS. 
Conditions of Trial. 
1. Such implements as the Judges may direct will be tested for draught hj 
means of the new horse-dynamometer, which was used in the cart and waggon 
trials at Bedford, and which is fully described in the last number of the 
Society's 'Journal,' Second Series, vol. x., pages 679-682. 
2. For this purpose, all mowing-machines must be provided with one pair 
of shafts, into which the d}Tiamometer can be yoked by means of its harness, 
which represents ordinary cart-harness. A mowing-machine under Trial for 
draught must be drawn by means of that pair of shafts alone. 
3. These shafts will be treated as special appliances for facilitating the Trials, 
in cases in which they are not usually supplied with the machines. 
4. The Trials of mowing-machines will be directed to test the qualities of the 
implements under conditions as various as the season and the state of the crops 
in the Trial-fields will permit. 
5. In Class 6, the drying powers of an apparatus will be ascertained by 
noting the time required for the treatment of a given weight of green hay, and 
the weight of moisture removed from it during treatment. For economy, these 
results will be further compared with tlie consumption of fuel or power required 
for effecting the work.
