The fret matter Of interest was the
ploughing match. This attracted all the
farmers and planters, who are judges of
this important implement. and richly
were they repaid for the trouble. About
twenty five different varieties of plows
were entered, embracing every conceiva-
BILE vuriety and improvement. The work
performed gave general satisfaction,
showing that perfection had almost been
reached in plows. Agrioulturists derived
many valuable hints. and will carry home
with them some new ideas upon the piow
question.
The next matter of interest was the
awards of superiority to the cattle and
led horses. The former were visited
