.that the verdict has been deco red, .and;
in spite of )(tar }elfish clia7re of `! favor
itism" and- patti-an feelings," has been
confirmed by the higher '•court, of public
opinion:
.Quack nostrums bring their lestimoni- ,

portray upon paper the achievements of
the Wiard Plow on foreign fields, but one
"fair ti ial " in the pri senee "of the intelli

more practical value to them than a doien
awards of prizes of q,trees" or "bricks" '

-Let us examineinur "emphatic denial
that the Syracuse beat the Wiard in aver
age ease of draft at the late trial." Tak
ing your figures. the average. draft of the
Wint•it' was 450.72, and the Syracuse was
447,95, pounds per -100 cubic :Unites mak
ing a.difference of - 2.77 pounds in favor of

When you ale able to show that the ev

Syncuse Mold-board is not worthy of be
lief, it may he necessary to "demon
strate" its truthfulness. Until then, the
burden of proof rests-upon you.
In speaking of the late trial, you say
4 • so far as the work was. there dm°. in
plowing it settled nothing except the su
periority of our plowman and team in
striking a back furrow" and "the work
time by cry r:f 11 e . plows upon' Towanda

before it was the plowman and team that
won ;at the stony land trial, it was the
