Your committee cannot refrain from speak.
ing in the highest terms Of Manny's and Nc
Cormick's reapers and mowers, though in fact b
they need NO commendation from us, as every
farmer in the West knows them to be unsur-
passed. Each of these establishments had q
machine on exhibition, but not to compete for
the premium. Reilley 6 Elhotts, of White
Pigeon, Mich, also deserve honorable mention.
In regard to threshers and separators, your
committee are pleased with al! on exhibition,
and doubt not that each one would give good
The two mowers on exhibition please your
committee so well that they have taken the
liberty of recommending first premium to
W. A. Wood, and second to R. Fl. Allen.
The water drawer exhibited by NJ. Sears, of
Davenport, is a good contrivance, and deserves
special notice.
The lifting pump exhibited by Mr.. Bixby
was not found till after the awards were made,
but we embrace this opportunity to do him
justice. In the opinion of the committee, it
Is superior to any pump on exhibition.
Messrs. Barrder & Bros corn ard cob mill
is first rate SO far as its capacity goes, but we
think it too small for large farms.
Your committee, after a second and careful
examination of mole plows, are satisfied that,
although Mr.. Adairs machine, of Mendoza,
Illinois, received the second premium, yester-
day, it does not deserve the endorsement of
your society. The mole is not of such form
as to give satisfaction. The capstan, however,
is the best ON the ground. ..r... -. q.
