 the rapidly-moving projec-

Eichinger and Sons, of 

 Szegedin, may be also 

 noticed as prominent Hun- 

 garian makers, and at their 

 stall might he noticed an 

 excellent, although slightly 

 complicated, corn-dressing 

 machine. Zavar and Stoye, 

 of Oedenburg, also showed 

 a well - made drill, with 

 steerage which worked from 

 behind. 



Passing onwards into the 

 Austrian section one came 

 upon a wonderful assort- 

 ment of antiquated-looking: 

 machines, which seemed 

 much out of place, except as curiosities, in an exhibition of 

 modern agricultural implements. 



Franz Kugler, of Vienna, showed some excellent drop-drills, 

 for which he is justly noted ; ploughs, after Clayton and .Shuttle- 

 worth models ; harrows, after Howard's zigzag principle. Herr 

 FTofherr, of Erlachgasse, Vienna, received his training at 

 Clayton and Shuttleworth's Vienna works, and is now an- 

 independent manufacturer. His stand was characterised by 

 its good arrangement, and his implements by first-class work- 

 manship. Hofherr turns out excellent mowers and reapers, and 

 his little factory is a model of neatness. I shall have occasion 

 again to refer to him in the Report of the Agriculture of the 

 country. A. Burg and Son, of Vienna, belong to much the same 

 class of manufacturers as the last, and the present Herr Burg 

 was two years resident in England studying his profession. At 

 this stand was a good broad-cast sower, a good winnower, some 

 excellent ploughs, &c. 



Clayton and Shuttleworth are undoubtedly the leading agri- 

 cultural engineers in the Austrian dominions. This firm is 

 so intimately connected with the agricultural progress of the
