MECHANICS HALL.
The show of farm machinery was very
good for county fair. w. G. Foss. Wells
River, had BsIdwin's improved fodder
cutter, which we think not equal to the
Silver & Dewing cutter shown at the sta G
fair. 1t has a balance wheel which has
so far as we can see, no use except dead
weight to be carried by the power. A
plow. the "Oneonta Clipper" looked like
good tool. 1t has an iron beam. is a
swivel pillow, and the operation of turning
it shifts the handles so the holder can walk
in the furrow, and also shifts the cutter
into line with the point. Mr.. Foss also
shows the Philadelphia cultivator. and the
iron giant stone litter. w. H. Atkinson,
Newbury, showed the Deene sulky pillow
and the walking cultivator, this is for two
horses, is hung on wheels and the man
walks behind varying the handle. and
hoes 10 suit the hills. The other exhibits
we're the usual ones of plows. harrows
moving machines, etc, which are well
known. There we're four tubs OF butter

by Mrs. S. P. Avery, by method new to
us. They are made without being pressed
except by their own weight. The hoop is
tin perforated with small holes at regular
distances. with cover at either end. Int
this hoop the curd is put, little warmer
than usual in common pressing with ne
cloth about it, and is set away to solidiiy
and drain. 1t is turned at intervals, still
in the hoop, till solid enough to take out
when it is treated like other CHI eese. The
sample is very rich.
APPLES.
AS has been the rule at other fairs thi
''off year" for fruit the exhibit OF apples
was fine. S. P. Avery showed seventy.
tive varieties, seven of grapes, which were
not all well rIpened, five Of pears, of which
the Flemish beauty is the best, swee
pear without name, but put to them as tn,
Seckel is good pear, but no more Seek
81 than Bartletl, being twice the size an,
with no similar appearance or flavor. C
II. Haseton, Oxford, had thirty five varie
lies, good fruit and several plums. o. r
Rodgers, West Newbury, forty-two varie
ties, grated fruit, also large assortmen
of native apples.
In art and fancy work the exhibit was
large and of decided excellence. Their,

satin panel in old gold and black was ,
beauty, as was an embroidered drab tab
spread, and mantel scarfs. One is the il
Iustration in outline embroidery of "Littl,

down beside her" nicely treated.
Mrs. j, Poor, Hlverhill, has thread

labor and endless time to make it. Mrs

parts. We understand Mr.. @. is without,

which was beautiful, and great deal OF
work. Miss w. is native of Florida,
