The Fair may be considered a success.
both in the articles shown, and visitors to
see them. The show of cattle was large,
and especially fine in working and fat
oxen. We noticed one yoke weighing
five thousand six hundred pounds, and the
Cheshire county team of ten yokes gave
an average of over four thousand two hun
dred pounds per yoke.
In Jerseys, there were about one hun
dred and fifty animals shown. w. F. Dan

Mr.. Wallis herd was thrown out, by Il
vote of the Committee refusing to recog-
nize the Am. Jersey Herd Book, edited by
o. B. Hadwin, Esq as authority of purity
of blood, and Mr.. Wallis herd being re-
corded in that book. Some of Mr.. Wallis
stock had pedigrees in the Herd Register,
as did the bull of C. Miller & Son of Pom
fret, so they got some premiums on single
animals-Mr Vail, sweepstakes before

Hon Fred Billings of Woodstock exhib-
tied a flock of twenty eight Southdowns,
-including some of his own importation.
Carried off most of the premiums in that
class. Vermont while holding her proud
place in sheep and dairy stock, has,
through her own negligence. lost the eN
cellcnce which once distinguished her in
her horses, and now has to take a back
seat. We did not find Il single entry in
either class from Vermont.
A novel feature was the Show of dogs.
which attracted much attention. There
were fortyeiglt entrees, with some seven
Ity-tive animals Of all kinds and varieties,
from the Russian Bloodhound of one
hundred and fifty pounds weight, to the
Black and Tan Terriers of pocket size.
\ large tent contained the extensive
collection of agricultural implements. To
this collection. the Ames Plow Company
of Boston, were by far The largest contrib
utors, showing fifty-eight plows, nine corn
shelters, sixteen hay cutters, nine wheel
barrows, wagons, carts. tcdders, horse
rlkes, etc. etc, comprising nearly all he
implements a farmer needs. Though ex-
tensive, their show was not marked by
any new or novel article that we noticed.
The Hgganum Manufacturing Compa-
ny also made a good showing of farming
tools. Among other articles an excellent
corn shelter, which separates the corn from
the cobs, and the new Sanborn Plow.
This is Il swivel pillow, with a mould board
Us flat and straight us u board, ard from
six to eight inches wide, and is perfectly
flat most of the way, and to look ut, one
would say a civil cngineer couldn't get Il
turf bottom side up with it, but it is said
to turn well, both sward and stubble. The
IIolbrook pillow, with movable cutter
worked by shaft crank and two bevel
gears. was on exhibition, by IIolbrook 4
Co. Mr.. F. F. uobrook had IN iron beam
: pillow with the Sanborn mould board. The
points he claimed for this were a stationary
cutter in line with the shoe and standard,
and 4 rubber spring on the draw rcd, to
ease any sudden stop OF strain.
; Another swivel pillow was shown by
, Worcester & kezer, of Rochester, VT. ; the
Rochester plow. This is comparatively
new candidate for favor, being only in its
second year. Its mould board is combi-
nation of two land side boards, long and
