highly commended the Holler No. 19SG, exhibited by Messrs. Amies and 
Barford ; and commended tbose exhibited by Messrs. Crosskill and (Sons, Hill 
and Smith, and Hunt* and Pickering. 
Harrows. 
There were 41 sets selected for competition, comprising all sorts of harrows 
for light and heavy land. This class of implement is, perhaps, more remarkable 
for varieties in construction than any other ; besides the well-recognised zigzag 
barrow, they carne before ns under the different appellations of Combined 
Harrow and Scarifier, Lever, Scuffling, Rotating, Jointed, Chisel-toothed, Duck- 
footed, Excelsior, Flexible, Chain, Extirpator, &c. 
The first trial took place on a piece of very foul land that had been broken 
Up by the cultivators with the broadshares, and was so severe a test that very 
few of them could get through their task without choking. The next trial was 
on a piece of clean fallow which had been ploughed a few days previously. 
Here they all, whether designed for light or heavy land, made such good work 
that we found it necessary to select a few of ,the implements for a third trial 
on a piece of clover-ley which bad been ploughed by steam. This answered 
the purpose admirably. The large number and the great variety of these im- 
plements render it impossible fully to discuss in detail, in this Report, the 
merits of their different modes of construction ; several among them, although 
not mentioned in our awards, are well deserving of notice, and would prove 
very useful on suitable land. It being our duty to consider what implements 
were best adapted to the country at large, we awarded three prizes of 8?., 7?., 
and 51. to Messrs. J. and F. Howard for their three sizes of barrows. We 
highly commended' the jointed harrows exhibited by Messrs. lhmsome and 
Sims, also the flexible or chain harrow exhibited by Messrs. J. and E. Howard, 
and the chain-harrow exhibited by Mr. Cambridge.
