278 WISCONSIN STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
The Messrs. Carlisle and Stoughton are entitled to much 
credit for their enterprise in the manufacture of useful articles 
and for their efforts to add to the interest of the Exhibition. 
Sweet, Bryant & Co’s., Peddler’s Wagon—splendid; work¬ 
manship very superior and material good. 
Bradford & Bros, show of Furnishing Goods were magnifi¬ 
cent. They deserve the thanks of the Society. 
H. Feed’s Baking Powder is an excellent invention, and 
ought to do away with the use of saleratus altogether, making, 
as we believe, much more wholesome bread. 
Are well pleased with Langstroth’s Bee Hive, and have 
awarded a diploma, in view of its convenience, economy, and 
general adaptation to the habits of the bee. 
Some of the Evergreens by Colby & Willey were very rare 
and beautiful. These gentlemen are deserving of thanks for 
their efforts and expense in thus adding to the Exhibition in 
Floral Hall. 
Many other articles are worthy of special mention, but the 
Committee have not time for the purpose. 
Respectfully submitted,

Your Discretionary Committee have had within their pro¬ 
vince nearly one hundred articles or implements for inspection; 
yet most of them had no competition, there being duplicates of 
very few and triplets of none; still we are glad to say nearly 
or quite all of them were possessed of enough interest to de¬ 
serve your notice—except the “bear,” which had been hunted 
off the Grounds, without coming under our observation.
