TliE i'ARMER'y MAUAZiiNJi. 



Rea aud liurus seiil. a bone-cutting dml rasping- 

 mill ; invented, we think, by Foishaw. It appe:<red 

 capable of great usefulness, but broke accidentally in 

 trial. 



Read entered some highly-useful fire and watering 

 engines, pumps, probangs, green-house syringes, &c. 

 Stone exhibited waggons, carts, trucks, &c. 



Thorley his cattle food. 



Woof a land-parer of highly-useful character, and 

 washing machine, &c. 



Whiteman and Dening many useful implements, 

 amongst them a tubular gate and universal mill. 



James and Robert Wright a very commendable iron 

 plough, which obtained the favour of the judges on 

 trial, and received the prize. It is a near approach to 

 the proved standard' of mole-turner. Their horse-hoe 

 requires improvement. Their harrows are good. 



Young's tree-planter attracted attention. 



Lemon had a good show of implements from our best 

 makers. He sent Ball's plough for trial. It did exceed- 

 ingly well, but is overdone in length of mole-turner. 



Richmond and Chandler had their chaff-cutting ma- 

 chines, crushers, mills, ^:c., in their usual style of ex- 

 cellence. They showed also a very economic steam ap- 

 paratus. 



J. Whitmee and Co. had, as usual, their corn- 

 crushers, chaff-engines, grinding-mills. Hour-mills, their 

 little sausage machines, and a new washing machine of 

 highly useful power. 



B. Wright a variety of useful implements. 



Wheeler and Son, a collection of agricultural seeds, 

 properly arranged. 



Chanter and Co. showed some good models connected 

 with steam boilers. 



Bridges brought his endless variety of butter-prints 

 and other dairy requisites. 



Pickerslay, Sims, and Co. exhibited their chaff engines, 

 bean and oat mills, lawn mower, and washing machine. 

 Their No. 5 engine has many valuable points. 



Haigh, washing-dollys, &c. 



Dobbs, spirit-level. 



David, a monstrous iron cart. 



J. C. Glover, some nice Scotch carts. 



Busby displayed his customary assortment of very 

 useful and well-made implements, consisting of a num- 

 ber of carts and waggons, ploughs, Norwegian harrow, 

 Woofe's parer, &c. His carts deserved, as they received, 

 much encouragement. 



Lucas and Son, steel forks, shovels, spades, and other 

 capital tools, &c. 



Hayward, a two-horse steam engine and stone- 

 grinding mill. 



Bruce, varieties of varnish. 



Jno. Fowler, steam plough, of which we shall speak 

 more definitely in a special report of the trials of steara 

 cultivators, ^cc, in the field. The steam plough con- 

 sists of windlass, anchors, and ploughs, and is drawn 

 backwards and forwards in the field by means of an 

 endless rope of wire. 



Holmes and Sons showed corn drills, seed drills, a 

 cheap and excellent manure distributor, and a very eco- 



nomical seed machine for sowing gidiu of uU kinds broad- 

 cast, for which they very properly received a prize. 

 Their economical seed and manure drills are very com- 

 mendable. 



Williamson and Brothers, a portable steam engine 

 and thrashing machine, and a 3-horse power patent 

 vortex turbhic, an appliance for the better application 

 of water to drive machinery. 



William Butler, a well-arranged and good 6-horse 

 steam engine. 



Garrett and Sons had their usual and very superior 

 assortment of implements, consisting of steam engine, 

 thrashing machines, drills, seed and' manure distribu- 

 tors, horse-hoes, revolving hoes, dressing machines, and 

 chaff-cutters for steam and horse power, tkc. 



Hart, Gibbons, and Gibbons, steam engine and thrash- 

 ing machine, horse-power machine and horse-gear, and 

 cultivator and small thrashing machine complete. 



W. Smith, his far-famed steam cultivators and subsoil 

 plough with patent turning bow, a truly simple and 

 effective device for accomplishing a most necessary ob- 

 ject — the turning the implements at the ends. It must 

 be seen to be fully appreciated. His trenching plough 

 aud set of tackle for steam ploughing was made by 

 Messrs. Humphries, his steam engine by Messrs. Clay- 

 ton and Shuttleworth, and the other patented imple- 

 ments by Messrs. Howard. They are got up splendidly. 

 We shall have occasion to speak more of them in our 

 notice of the trials in the field. 



Brown and May exhibited steam engines, combined 

 thrashing machine, screen, hummcUers, mill, saw- 

 bench, &c. 



Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes, their excellent variety 

 of first-class implements, including steam engine and 

 combined thrashing machine, two-horse machine hay- 

 maker, horse-rake, mills, chaff-cutters, &c. 



Tux ford and Sons their seven-horse power steam 

 engine with vertical cylinder, which is the great pecu- 

 liarity of, and gives a higher value to the engine. Their 

 combined thrashing-machine is so arranged as to work 

 an ordinary corn-dressing machine, which is manufac- 

 tured into the machine, and is after Gooch's old 

 pattern. This novel idea deserves especial notice. 



Cambridge displayed the only Boydell's traction engine 

 shown, of which we will say more in our field trial report. 

 He had also combined steam and horse-power machines, 

 from eight down to two horses' power winnowing 

 machines ; his improved and world-renowned clod- 

 crushers, and chain harrows, the trials of which we shall 

 notice. 



Oliver Maggs showed a four-horse steam engine and 

 combined thrashing-machine ; two-horse ditto corn and 

 oat and bean crushing mills, chafl'-cutters, root-graters, 

 cheesc-pressers, cider screws, ike, ike. 



E. and T. Humphries six-horse power steam-engine 

 (the prize one) and combined thrashing-machines, of 

 which we have said a word or two. 



We know more of implements than flannels, but we 

 could observe that the competition for this prize was 

 good, and many excellent specimens of this peculiarly 

 Welsh manufacture were exhibited, in great variety of
