The rack should be made with stout sills and 

 posts, about 4 in. square, or sufificiently 

 strong to resist the struggling of any animal 

 that may be put into it, and mortised into 



them. The size of the frame should be 

 adapted to the animals for which it is pro- 

 vided — about 8 ft. in length and 2 ft. in 

 width. 



BREAD AND SUGAR GRINDER, &c. 



FOR many years 2\Ir Hancock's name 

 has been before the public as an 

 inventor of machines calculated to effect 

 saving of labour and economy in domestic 

 arrangements. His butter machine, brought 

 into notice some dozen years ago, still con- 

 tinues to be recognized as a very valuable 

 adjunct to the necessary household utensils. 



latest invention is a machine without any de- 

 finite name. It is vaguely designated " a 

 novelty of great household utility." Having 

 seen it disintegrating portions of a fresh loaf, 

 browned crusts, biscuits and ginger — the 

 latter of which, as our readers are aware, is a 

 very fibrous commodity — we are persuaded

Bread and Sugar Grinder. 



It has the highest approbation that can be 

 bestowed upon it, viz., it has for a patronizer 

 one whom the poet designates " the first 

 lady in the land" — Her Majesty the Queen. 

 In many an humble household it has made 

 butter, previously far from palatable, fresh 

 and agreeable to the taste. Mr Hancock's 



the work the inventor claims it can do, the 

 powdering of sugar and the grinding of 

 coffee. The movement is easy; in the work- 

 ing parts there is no complication of nuts or 

 screws, and no corners where dust might 

 lodge. It is a thoroughly useful machine in 

 a household.
