Of arcieles and implements made out
side the county, We mention among har-
rows, the Beauman Butler harrow of st.
Johnsbury. This is an ingenious ma
chine in which sufficient number of |
blades or teeth, shaped like cultivator
teeth, with wings to turn over and pull
verize the earth, and wheel in front to
gage the depth. and board or scraper
behind to level or even the earth, max
ing rolling unnecessary. These harrows
have been used in this vicinity and are
highly appreciated. Another harrow
which looked like very good one, was
the Lawrence spring tooth. This is
shaped like an ordinary square harrow.
with light frame, in which there are
large numbers of steel teeth, inclined
backward, and made of steel half inch
wire, with spring sufficient to allow
them to give back enough to ride over
stones or other obstacles without catch
ing. The teeth are so sharp and thick
that they must give the around thar
ough scratching. The harrow is sold
by A. B. Norris of Norrisville. The
Randall harrow was shown by Mr..
Whitcher, this is revolving disc, and
is much liked by those who have used

men are particularly in favor of it, be-
cause they can ride it. Another ma
chine of this kind was shown by party
who did not tag his goods. David Rol-
Inns of Newport Center. showed man
power drag saw. which is an ingenious
complication of levers, on which man
can sit, ride, run and saw all at once. It
will do smart saving. and would be
useful where horse power is not used.
| J. S. Kenerson of Barnet was active in
showing the Bradley phosphate and the
Sea Fowl guano. The many friends of
these fertilizers were ready to testify
of their merits. II. A. Blake had the
Pacific guano on exhibition, which is
well liked by all who have used it. Mr..
Whitcher, dealer in agricultural imple-
ments, made an exhibition of harrows,
moving machines and horse rakes. HI.
A. Blake had several of the Ames Plow
Co.'S plows.
Mechanics hall was made attractive
by the very beautiful furniture exhibit
tied by G. F. Percival of Barton, and J.
E. Dwinell of Glover. Mr.. Percival
had beautiful parlor suit. which was
finished and upholstered by him, and
would be an ornament in royal palace
he also had fine chamber set, made by
G. H. Stratton of this village, which
is credit to the maker. Mr.. Perclva
showed an elegant and costly casket anc
a pretty and valuable lounge. Mr.
DWinell showed a rich black walnu
chamber set, probably as elegant. furni
ture as can be found in the county b.

be difficult to match. G. H. Greer
showed the patent wire mattress, o
which he owns the county right. Jane

er articles from his store. The stove
