ABSTRACT OF REPORTS. 
SHEEP - MERINOES AND THEIR CROSSES. 
The Judges in this department reported, that the five 
- French bucks of different ages, and five cross-bred of different 
ages, entered as No. 5, owing to their condition were unworthy 
of any premiums. To an aged Spanish buck, they awarded 
2d premium. 
The Committee remarked that their duties would have 
been performed with much greater pleasure, had there been a 
fair representation of the sheep of the county presented ; they 
regret that it was not so, and trust that the farmers of Wauke¬ 
sha County will not permit this important branch of husbandry 
to languish. 
The entries of Southdowns, Cotswolds and Leicesters, were 
fair in number, but some of those exhibited, especially the- 
Southdowns belonging to Mr. Rowe, of Muskego, were very 
fine animals. 
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND OTHER MANUFACTURED 
ARTICLES. 
The Judges upon articles in this class were sorry to re¬ 
port so meagre a show of agricultural implements as to'induce 
the inference that the farmers of the county used none ; what 
they found, however, were tlm most of them, very creditable to 
the makers. 
Mr. C. C. Olin, of Waukesha, exhibited some very fine 
buggies, which were all well made, convenient, and in good 
taste, but inasmuch as they were not manufactured by the ex¬ 
hibitor nor in the County, no premiums were awarded. 
A sulky and harness entered by George C. Rossman, of 
Hartford, Washington county, were of such superior merit as 
to entitle them to a premium—the taste of workmanship in 
which could hardly be excelled 
There were several plows exhibited, which were very good, 
indeed ; some of them as well as other implements, were from 
the agricultural store, of George H. Barrett, of Waukesha; 
the appearance of which will direct the farmers where to go
