S. P. SHAW of Somers, had on-exhibition
/ few south down sheep. The peculiar merit,
these sheep, is their adaptation to any soil
# climate, and are hardy and easy to keep, frien
! Shaw knows what kind of sheep is profitable
II swincnnd Pouitry.
: Inthis class there were but few on exhibitio
: A hog is an ugly animal any how, and one ca,
mot be SO much surprised at the paucty of tn
( show, but we were sorry to see so useful an al
imal SO meagerly represented. The only e,
! hibitor of hogs was s P. Shaw of soners-
Suffolk boar Pig, well deserving notice of th
: farmers
= HoN@LEyI GRANT of Bristol, had on exhib

no competitor. ff&8 f@
THOMAS ROWLAND Of Pleasant Prairie, wa
tho only person that exhibited poultry. He ha
on exhibition two pair of exceedingly lin
chickens; this too in q county where every
body excels in poultry,
m Farming implements.
II EDWARD Balm of Kenosha, had on Exhibition
two lumber wagons, manufactured at his shop
by purely Frem1nt worlmen. The workman
ship and durability Of the wagons are not to b.
surpassed in the State. The thimbls skeins O
the wagons were manufactured by Messrs. G
w 81 d. HEAD of Kcnosha, and in point O
: finish and work man ship, cannot be excelled b,
any machinist in this or any other State. Mr.
Balm also had on exhibition a very neat and wei
J finished top buggy, of his own manufacture
which certainly shows that there can be no lie
! climate reason for persons sending cast for ar
ticles of this kind. r~
Messrs. HITCHCOCK & BROTHER of Keno
sha, had on exhibition, one of their celebrate,
patent cast steel crossing plows. These plow,
are made by Messrs Hitchcock & Brother. O
; the best material, and their well known styls O
workmanship, speaks volumes in their favor
and the extensive patronage given them by GU
farmers show that their efforts in this line o
improvement are duly appreciated, but thes,
plows are too well known to need more than :
passing remark from us.
Mr.. PETER REAs of Somers, had on exbibi
ton, Manney's reaper and mower, which
farmers generally seemed to be favorably i'm
pressed with the thought of compact and mod
ern machine, and SO far as our judgment goes
is well adapted to the purpose for which it wa
made f.A
We feel that our mechanics, manufacturers
and tradesmen generally, do not patronize thi
society SO much as they ought we think tina
more general interest on their part, would ado
much to the society, and at the same time ma
terially increase their sources of profit They
should, we think, attend the quarterly meeting,
of the society, and take part in its doings-wha
say you fellow townsmen? We intend for III,
future to be on hand with our note book.
