According to published notice trial to test
the draft OF different plows. or more especial
y riding against walking piows, was held on
the farm of Vim. Matthewson, on Saturday,
July 81 1877. The result was that the Hap
good Sulky, with man riding, beat the light
est draft walking pillow that was brought into
the trial, % pounds, as shown by the dynam-
ometer, at the same time cutting halt inch
wider and the same depth, as decided by a
committee of five good and substantial farm
ers whose names are hereto annexed. Said
committee was appointed for the purpose of
determining the comparative draft of the diff
ferent plows.
\. j. Cook Il Co., who appeared in the trial
with the Hapgood Sulky, hoped aad expected
to meet or trial many other riding plows, as
some of the manufacturers and general agents
from Kansas City and Chicago were in the
city, but they failed TO appear with their
plows, though urged to do so by many inter-
ested in the trial.

Xesvs. NapgoOd d Co.:
At the request of your agents here. and in
harmony with our own views, we are con-
strained to write you OF the result of a trial
OF your gang pl ows which we are well pleased
to inform you is highly satisfactory TO our
selves as well as very complimentary to your
plows. Messrs. Cook Il Co., your agents,
maintained that your Pinch gang would
draw as easy as our iron frame sulky cutting
16 inches, which we could not believe until it
was proven to US by actual test at our farms
this day. Our plows not being in as good
order as new plows, pulled considerable
heavier, each doing its appropriate work, but
we considered that your pillow, dong as it did
fifty per cent. more work with more draft,
to say the least certainly did wonders, and is
as high a recommendation rs the best manu-
facturer could desire.
The test being so satisfactory and conclu-
Rive to us, we bad nothing to do but purchase
your gang plows which we have done this day.
Respectfully yours,
NJ. ii. Baker,
James G. Dean.
