ACCURACY AND DURABILITY

these Scalee are believed TO be unequaled.
The following is an account Of the trial Of
Scales q the Vermont State Fair, 1858:
Correct and reliable standards Of measurement
by weight, in the community, are only second in
value correct principles Of dealing, and . relia-
bic currency. In view Of this consideration,
the recent trial Of hay scales, 1t the STATE
Fair, asd its results are worthy OF note. We
premise BY remsrk,ng that, at the State Fair at
Montpelier last year, two competitors on scales ap.
peared and after the trial, the first premium vas
awarded to Mr.. John Howe, Jr., Of brandon, for
hay -2cales, OF Strong b koss patent and the ID
to L. a.. Fairbanks / Co., Of st. Johnsbury.
The same parties met again in Burlington this
Fall prepared for thorough trial Of the respective
merits Of the scales; the one party desiring 10
retain its new pre-smnence, and the other deter
mined to regain the prize, A thorough trial was
instituted, and the following were some Of the
severe tests applied: Five tons Of railroad
iron were placed upon the scales, and the whole
mass moved fret 70 one side and then to the other
OF the platform, and additional weight Of 900
lbs, in 50 ID. weights was weighed while the hve
tons occupied the various positions. Again 1000
lbs. Of iron were placed npon truck, and weighed
successfully on each cf the four corners OF the
platform, and in the centre Of it. Small weights.
Of from 21 lbs. to 5lbs. were then weighed.
Men we're weighed, singly and together. and sim
gle and aggregate weights we're CON pared 70 80
II there were any variations. We are assured by
one Of tho committee, before whom the trisl was
made. that strong : koes' scales exhibited ssr-
pyising accuracy, through ali the tests Of this Sc
vere trial. while the other scales. though correct in
many cases, did net show entire unifornity
throughout, especially. exhibitiDg variations OF
some consequence. shen the heavy weighe we're
moved to the different corners Of the platforms.
The award Of . diploma. for the best hay-scalss,
was accordingly made TO Mr.. Howe.

CoRx.-Corn has been what we
might term drug in the market during the
past year. 1t has been sold at . very low
price, been fed to the cattls, horses and hogs
in Unlimited quantities. and has even been
burned for fuel iostead Of wood or coal. In
spite Of this. and the fact that the country
round about 10 fnll Of that kind of grain, We
are told that the farmers are now puttise IN .
large breadth for the coming harvest. The
~hsat 10 nearly all sown and the corn is going
into the soil rapidly and in great abundance.
Should the season prove to be good one, We
think perhaps the crop Of the State win ex.
cssd that Of last year. The prospect of the
resumption Of trade on the Mississippi has
much to do with the action Of the farmers in
ths natter. 1.-THE trade does open down that
way ws shsll see rise in corn. There can
Be NO doubt about it.
