The Walkerton Herald says :— "One event of considerable impor- tance to the farming public had its origin et the Northern Exhibition last weak, and ended in a contest over the merits of two rival spring tooth cultivators, viz : The "Favor- ite," made by J. 0. Wisner Son & 0o., Brantford, and the "Gale," made by the Gale Go., Detroit and Windsor. It began by T. H. and Robert Wilson, of Brant T'p, coming to Messrs. Muir and Little, represent- atives of the Wisner So., on the fair grouuds, and asking a trial of their Cultivator against tho Gale, as they intended purohasing the best. This proposal was immed- iately agreed to, and after soma talk the matter was arranged, and Hugh Wilson (a„ ont for the Gale Go.,) W. Little (for Wisner Go„) and Jas. Tolton, Roove of Brant, wore appointed as Judges. The contest took place Saturday morning ou the farm of T. H. Wil- son, lot 42, N.D.R., Brant, in the prosenoo of fully ono hundred and fifty farmers, and wag oondncted throughout with impartiality. The first best was ou recently ploughed laud where almost any implement would work well. Tho only points here doeided being the draught and adaptability to inequalities of the surface, and as the Judges' decision showed the Wisner was lightest in draught, although it out a foot wider than the other, and also it adapted itself to uneven ground better than its opponent. The contestants wore thou oaken to on unplonghod clay stubble field wbiob was full of grass, In this tho euporiority of the Wisner was very apparent as it did its work thoroughly, taking tho hard ground with case and malting an excellent rood bed with ones going over, and, moreover, was moro easily handled in turning. Tho nut step wise to go across tho place alroady oalti• voted, but here the Galo choked with tho grasp very badly,.while the Wisner dinned itsolf without any clogging wilatover. Next several rooks were repeatedly driven over without any breaks to either. In response to the Judges quer' tion the respootive agents goad tho price of the Cale at $42.60 and tho Wisner at Bell. As can bo understood few were really surprisncl when the Wisner Cultivator was prououuoed to be the victor. Mr. Talton, who roally had oho decision to nuke, conducted the contost with the utmost fair.play, and in announcing the decision gave a neat little epaecb which showed his capability of arriving of a just conclusion. Tho judgment was based on oho following pointe : 1—Tho Wisner out one foot wilier than the Gale and the draught was less. 2—It works in sactione, and adapted itself hotter to uneven ground. 3—It did not choke with grass or sods, After the trial Mr, Wilson bought the 'Wisner "Favorite," :and gave his settlemont for it, and several agents for other firms were heard to offer to purchase quantities of the now cultivator from John Muir, the Genoral Agent. if he would sell them," Geo. Love & Co. aro the agonte at Brussels. Newry Fall Show. Fair weather attended the efforts of the management of the Newry Exhibition held on Thursday, the 4th Inst„ and although the display was not full in every department, in some classes notably that of horses, the exhibit was excellent. In the Heavy Draught, Messrs. Jackson Bros. an:l Wm. Shearer showed an- imals that would have been a credit to any fair in Ontario. The two- year old general purpose olaeH oells for special mention, every animal in the ring being more than ordinarily fine animate. Jamas Dunoau took the first with R. Rutherford close on hie heels for second, and James Boyd third. Cattle were not large- ly reprosentod. In sheep and swine there were some fine animals on the ground. Inside the root exhibit was fullest and best. The grain exhibit was not large, but of excellent qual- ity. Tho attendance was good, al- though not quite up to former years.
