The Trials of Flovghs at Wanvich, 
The depth of furrow was set at 5 inches, the width as before 
being optional. One plough entered, being a one-way plough, 
could not fulhl the requirentents of the J udges, namely, plough 
two ridges and make one empt, and Yi'as therefore withdrawn. It 
nev'ertheless did some capital work, laying the soil very level 
and well. Thtee of the competing ploughs (Nos. 33, 36, and 
40) were selected for trial on the dynamometer, where the work 
done by all was excellent and very uniform. The following was 
the order of the award : First prize, Messrs. W. Ball & Sons, 
plough B c 4 D, No. 33 in catalogue ; second prize, Messrs. J. C. 
and T. Yates, plough D w. No. 40 in catalogue.

The depth of furrow was again set at 5 inches, the width being 
optional. The lighter of ISIessrs. Cooke & Sons’ ploughs did its 
work remarkably well, but it was considered by the Judges as 
being too .’light for general use, and was therefore not sent 
forward for trial on the dynamometer, though where ground is 
not too hard it would prove a valuable implement as a skimmer. 
The other .two. ploughs were tested on the dynamometer, and it 
was unfortunate that the work set out by Messrs. Cooke’s plough 
was so irregular, and that the plough itself was not handled 
with greater dexterity. The first prize in this class was awarded 
to Messrs. Yates’s plough, T E, No. 43 in catalogue. 
Class VI. — Digging Ploughs for Light Land. In this class
