280 Report on the Farm-Prize Competition of 1872. 
circumstances would permit. The instructions were that we 
should especially consider 
1. General management with a view to profit. 
2. Productiveness of crops. 
3. Goodness and suitability of live-stock. 
4. Management of grass land, 
5. State of gates, fences, roads, and general neatness. 
Thus admonished, we began our first survey on the 30th of 
January, finishing it on the 7th of February ; while our second 
inspection lasted from the 12th to the 20th of June. 
After the hints already given, little surprise will be felt when 
it is stated that our first examination enabled us to weed out 
seven of the nineteen competing farms as not worthy of further 
consideration. Below, we give the names of the remaining 
twelve, the better management of which justified the Judges 
in paying them a second visit. We also add the names of the 
several proprietors and tenants, together with the acreage of 
each farm, and nature of the soil as stated in the entry-lists.
