attractive equipages.
Well they might, for they certainly
were fine specimens Of bandicraft
There were fine GEE spring yictorias,
elegant doctors buggies, light Brew
ster's superb Victoria phaetons. Brew
ster's side-bar bugRies, ratursl-wood
finish dog-carts,. and altogether the
finest and one OF the most elegant dis
plays OF the kind ever seen at any
exhibition OF the Virginia Agricultural
Society.
y DOCTORS BUGGY.
The doctors buggy was something
par excellence. 1t is low and easy to
get in and out OF and one of the most
comfortable riding concerns that can be
imagined. The glasses are Of French
Plate and the body is hung on platform
springs. The covering is OF the. best
enamelled leather, as is also the seat,
and the whole structure strong and
solid. 1t will be seen that Boshers
Sons exhibit will attract attention and
better still repay the attractor.
The Watt PIow Company.
"These people have more space than
anybody else. said IN easy-going mnu
who passed by the exhibit of the Watt
Plow Company yesterday.
Mr.. Watt overheard the remark and
he spokeup:
ave have only 5000 feet Of space,
sir. We do not claim to have the great
est space, but We can't show all that we
have here in the hall"
"What have you on the outsider"
"Well, we have farm-wagons, the
Stover Corn and Cob-Mill in full opera
ton. and. by the way, a corn-mill in
which you can throw the ear of corn,
shuck and all. in and receive the meal
| fine enough for table use. This is some
thing that is unusual, and will be fea
ture of our exhibit that will be worth
| seeing"
The farmers come in clusters 10 see
the almost limitless array OF plows, har-
rows, cultivators, and drills.
THEY SAVE LABOR.
| There were things that were pretty
enough to make a lazy or stingy man
itch when he thought of the labor to be
saved in grinding over the bosom OF
Mother Earth some of these things that
makes one mans labor equal to four or
five. There were plows running in num-
ber from one to four horses, and as
many as twenty-fvene new series. Think OF
these ticklers of the soil, and the manner
in which they will turn into existence
pabulum for trade.
Some Of the most complete innova-
tions in plows are found in the brands
of the "Crown" and the Crescent.
These were particularly examined and
carefully criticised by those who were
experts in the business. These plows
are made, however, more particularly
light draught are more especially
needed and more eagerly sought for
than farther north, where ella y sub-soil
is found.
FINE DISPLAY OF HARRows.
The display OF harrows was something
excellent. There they were with spring
teeth, made adjustible, and SO arranged
that when they are completely worn out
new ones can be put in place without
trouble. The spade-harrow also excited
attention. This does almost exactly the
work that q man does with spade,
and does it ten times as fast,
and certainly as effectually. The
smoothing harrows, with teeth to
suit teams from one to four horses
were on exhibition in variety. There
can be no trouble in preparing the soil
for seed if purchasers consult the Watt
Plow Company. Then there were cream
mers Of many makes, butter-workers,
| and full line 81 dairy goods The dis.
play of corn-shellers was up to every re-
duirement, and the thought Of apple
lack danced in view of the cider-mills
That stood around.
BALING PRESS.
The Whitman full-circle all-steel baling
press attracted great attention, and 1t
deserved it, because it wears the proud
distinction OF having borne away the
prize at the Paris Exposition.
The mimic hand-baling press also
came in for its notice, and it won 1T
honestly.
The Watt Company will be sure to re-
ceive its share of favor. They have put
themselves to both pains and cost IN
order to bring their wares before the
public, and they richly deserve success
for their efforts.
NJ. Ii. Rowe s. Co.'s Exhibit at the Fair
The display the Jersey cattle at the
Fair surpasses anything of the kind ever
seen on the grounds, or in fact In this
State. Nearly all of the principal stalls
are occupied by this breed, and among
them are many beautiful and valuable
animals. Some of the most noted OF
these are the paoperty of Messrs. Nj. b.
Rowe & Co., of Fredericksburg, Va,
who are breeders OF long-established re-
putation and whose Jersey cattle haye
won prizes all through the Ohio Valley,
at the Atlanta Exposition, and other
large exhibitions in the South, as well
as at all the principal fairs in Virginia.
For the past twenty years they have
been regular exhibitors at the State Fairs,
always winning large majority OF the
premiums.
