THE IMPLEMENTS. 



The galleries were, if anything, more crowded than 

 ever. There was an increase of exhibitors, and less 

 room for each. The shifts some were put to, to make 

 the best of their machines in the space allotted, were 

 amusing ; and though we had frequently to judge of the 

 movement and character of the whole machine from a 

 mere fragment, and to push our investigations by the 

 light of analogy into dark corners, we have been success- 

 ful in finding most of the entries. We will first give 

 a passing mention of those which rank as the novelties 

 of the Show. 



Messrs. Burgess and Key, yielding to the' general 

 demand, have at length brought out a combined grass- 

 mower and reaper for two horses, price £35, and another 

 on the same principle, for one horse, price j£'22 lOs. It 

 is a combination of Allen's grass-mower, and an im- 

 proved form of Hussey's reaper. To adapt the mower 

 to the purposes of corn-cutting, the great central travel- 

 ling wheel is shifted to the left, and a wheel of equal 

 diameter is placed a little in advance of it on the oppo- 

 site side. Upon an elevated seat, immediately to the left 

 of this plain wheel, the driver takes his place, balancing 

 and commanding the cutting bar, which makes a clear 

 4 feet 6 inches cut to his right. This plays at the back 

 of the frame, receiving its motion in the usual manner 

 from the travelling wheel on the extreme left. Behind 

 runs a little wheel with wormed standard, fitting to a 

 screw socket in the frame, by which the driver can raise 

 or depress the level of the cutting bar. A platform is 

 attached for corn cutting, to be cleared by a man with 

 a rake. This folds up, and, with cutting bar, will pass 

 through a gateway five feet wide. The adaptation of 

 parts to the duties required appears very good. The 

 one-horse machine, on the same principle, is very com- 

 pact and simple. With a 3 feet 3 inches cut it will clear 

 about seven acres per day. In this, however, the work- 

 man's seat takes its support from above the axle, and 

 extends the breadth of the frame. 



With the intention of meeting the difficulties of an 

 English harvest, Mr. Samuelson has produced a com- 

 bined, very cheap, and good grass and corn cutting 

 machine. As a mower only, the price is £"22 ; for double 

 purposes £24. They are made for one or two horses. 

 The frame is supported on two travelling wheels, both 

 giving motion by internal cog-gear. The cutting-bar 

 extends to the right, and for corn cutting is fitted with 

 platform, one man leading the horse and the other be- 

 hind, delivering by rake either at the side or otherwise, 

 in sheaf or swath, as desired. The platform is capable 

 of being suspended, to enable the machine to pass 

 through gateways. 



Wood's combined machine for cutting grass and corn, 

 price £3b, is so generally known, and has been so well 

 advertised, that no special notice need be made of it 

 here. Sampson and Jewell of Jersey, showed a very 

 novel " paring and breaking cultivator," which received 

 considerable attention, and a handsome testimonial from 

 the Jersey Agricultural Society. A model only was ex- 

 hibited in the gallery, but the real implement, some fif- 

 teen feet long, and seven feet wide, stood in the mews 

 below, and this we saw. In operation it is intended 

 to perform the entire work of the plough, scarifier, and 

 harrow. A diagonal frame carries four small paring 

 ploughs, and between them revolve forks and knives to 

 cut the sod, or furrow-slice as it rises, and to throw it to
