Beauman Butler, of the Center, had a
new kind of harrow on exhibition at the
fair, which was not mentioned in the report
Of the fair because no one was there TO eX.
plain it. For the same reason, we presume,
the awarding committee passed it by. The
harrow is square in form. so constructed
that movable bar in front scrapes dow
uneven places in the ground, and bar be
hind serves the purpose Of a roller. Mr.
Butler used it last year and found it did
splendid work. and saved the expense aud
trouble of having a roller. From au exami
nation Of the harrow, we think it real i'm
provement. Beside the set Of cutivatol
teeth (which will bear much moro wear thar
the usual form Of cultvator teeth) there is
set of fine teeth for brushing in grass seed
or anything of the kind, and the teeth ca
be very easily shifted.
