REPORT OF TRIAL OF PLOWS. 
In our last we gave cuts of four of the plows 
which received premiums at the trial by the New- 
York State Agricultural Society, in June last. 
Herewith we give cuts of the other premium 
plows, except the one which received the second 
premium for sandy soil, which has not yet been 
received. The report appears to be received 
with general approbation. John Delafield, 
Esq., in a late letter, observes: “ The plow re¬ 
port is admirable, and seems to me a true and 
sure standard for future trials. Our agricultural 
artisans have long exhibited a knowledge of the 
principles of force and motion, but in the plow 
they have not reached, perfectly, their applica¬ 
tion for our most economical use. The present 
report will bring them in close contact with our 
farm wants, and their skill will, assuredly, ere 
long, give us all we desire.”
