The Discretionary committee have exam
med a Self Raking Reaping Machine pres
ented by Mr.. Eddy, and think it the best in

KELLOGG, WOOD & CRoeKER, Com.
On Barry.
The committee to examine the Dairy
Id report that but three parcels of But
ter were exhibited in season TO claim the
attention of the awarding committee.
They award the first premium 10 10. |
brought by S. z. Shaw.
The second premium they award to No.
5. brought by Mrs. j ID. Mcintyre.
The Cheese came too late TO receive but
a passing notice.
The committee would however remark
thar one parcel marked No. 8, brought by
Leonard Crockcl, was evidently good, aud
without doubt came from good dairy.
The committee would further remark, that
smother year the farmers of Kenosha county
should manifest greater interest in the
Dairy Department.
No country in the world has greater facil-
tiles for dairy purposes than Wisconsin, and
no Fair should show better marks of having
attended to it.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The committee on Fruit would respect
fully report that the quantity Of fruit pre-
sented was not as large as might have been
reasonably expected, bat the quality was ex-
ccllcnt; and some of the best specimens were
so nearly equal, that it was with some diff
Guilty and doubt in our minds, which was
entitled to preference; but after testing the
several specimens by the word of mouth, we
unan mouSly decided that No. ! , of class IL,
was entitled to the first premium for Apples,
and No. of the same class TO the End pre-
MUM. That No. 3 of the same class was
the best specimen of Grapes
That No. 10 were very fine and fair, and
worthy of special notice.
Also basket of Apples presented by Mr.
IL. y. NeWberry, were excellent and enti-
tied to special notice.
Also one basket presented by some person
unknown to your committee, comprising but
one variety, were very beautiful, and well
worthy of being introduced into general use.
No. of the same class, we would also
say were very fine and well worth common
dation.
No of the same class were decidedly
the best specimen of Pears
No. 8, consisting of basket of Plums,
were very superior, and were decided to be
No. | or first quality.
Yorr committee were unexpectedly re-
qucsted 10 examine and report upon the
Vegetable Department, and although the
duty was not gerry arduous i'll consequence
Of the small variety entered, they take pleas
urc in saying that the quality generally was
excellent, and first among the articles en-
tered they would notice a small quantity OF
Sweet Potatoes, and more properly dercrib-
ed as class ID, No, which were superior 10
anything of the kind ever before noticed by
US. Also No. of class Is, being a basket
of Meshannock potatoes, very superior ar
ticlc, and the best present Also No. OF
the same class, being squash of huge di-
mansions, and recommended as being excel
lent for pies The three lrst articles had no
competition, but arc worthy of the premium
offered for such articles.
There were also several other articles OF
the Vegetable Kingdom presented but not
entered, which were very good and worthy
of notice, but it would make our report
quite too lengthy to notice them all. All OF
which is respectfully submitted.
