12. The sheaves to be threshed will be kept under cover ; the stacks will 
be worked dowTi •vertically, so as to give each machine as nearly as possible 
the same quality of work ; the sheaves will be served out by weight to each 
machine. The straw resulting will be re-threshed, and the various products 
delivered by the machines, as well as the corn separated by the second 
threshing, will be carefully weighed and samples set apart for final com- 
parison. 
13. Means must be provided for examining the inside of the machines as 
perfectly as possible, in order to ascertain how completely the various products 
are delivered. It will be a point of merit in a machine to emj^ty itself com- 
pletely, and leave no lodgment in the screens, &c. 
14. Those machines which appear to the Judges of sufiicient merit, will be 
run for a prolonged trial, in order to enable a more correct and satisfactory 
judgment of their merits to be arrived at. 
Classes IV.— VIIL 
15. The Machines in classes IV., V., VI., VII., and VIII., will be judged 
chiefly with reference to the manner in which they perform their work, to 
the goodness of design and workmanship, and to their cost. Dynamometers 
will be used whenever the judges think it advisable to determine the amount 
of power necessary to drive the machines.
