steam Plowins Match.

The great steam blowing match, at Deca-
tur, on the 10th, under the auspices of the
State Agricultural Society. was rather fail
ure. Only one machine was there, that of
Fawkes and owing to the condition of the
ground, and the fact that the plows Were not
suited to our prairie soil, its performance
was not as effective as had been hoped. In
fact, on the day of trial. the ground having
been saturated with rain and snow, the ma
chine made little or no progress in blowing,
the driving weesls slipping round without
sdSancing5; but this difficulty would proba-
bly, not have occurred if the wheels had
been provided with spuds. The perform.
ance of the machine, however, was deemed
sufficiently meritorious to justify the socie-
ty in awarding Mr.. FaWkes $500. On the
18th, the weather being more favorable, il
