66 Rejiort upon the Agricultural Features 



on the plough made by Strobl and Baris. The depth is regulated 

 by a screw-nut behind the beam revolving on the nut a. This 

 plan is good when the share, as is commonly the case here, is 

 a fixture. 



Edward Kiihne, of Wieselburg, above-mentioned in connec- 

 tion with the Hungarian plough, exhibited a good assortment of 

 implements which, by their construction, showed a keen apprecia- 

 tion of new improvements. He has sent out above 1300 drills 

 in two years. Garrett's drill, Read's subsoil plough, Howards 

 zigzag harrow, Crosskill's roller, Howard's raised ridge harrow. 

 Page's horse-hoe, and horse-rakes and winnowers of English form, 

 have also been adopted, and if not all present in the Exhibition, 

 were described and illustrated in the catalogue. The following 

 illustration of native implements now manufactured by the same 

 firm, will indicate the crude ideas which must have prevailed 

 universally some twenty years ago ; but which are now being dis- 

 dispelled by our skilled machinists. The first implement (Fig. 

 19), is a cultivator for ridding land of couch {Queckenreiniger\

The faulty arrangement of teeth, their perpendicular position, 

 and abrupt bend at the points, bring back to the memory forms 

 long abandoned by English makers. The reader must imagine 

 the above implement drawn by bullocks in order to completely 

 realize its primitive appearance. 



The one-row horse-hoe (Fig. 20), with eighteen teeth, formed 

 and arranged^in a manner to be at once heavy and ineffective, is 

 another]! startling apparition in 1873, but interesting as forming 

 a link between past history and future progress.
