An Efjectivc Lime Spreader. 



5-9 



a calm day. It might be further mentioned that the machine will not sow 

 stones, and, consequently, if lime is improperly burned or insufficiently 

 slaked, the larger pieces will remain in the box. Ground lime (crushed 

 burnt limestone) or slaked lime, as well as sand and other kindred sub- 

 stances, are readily handled by the machine. 



FRONT VIEW, SHOWING REMOVABLE SHAFTS AND GEARING. 



For travelling, where gates are not wide enough to allow a clear 

 •passage, the wheels are removed from the ends and fitted in slots in the 

 sides of the machine. The shafts may similarly be removed and fixed into 

 ■one end of the lime box. A pair of small trestles allows the changing of 

 the wheels to be made without difficulty bv the driver. 



MACHINE READY FOR ROAD TRANSIT. 



The makers of the machine are Messrs. Jack and Sons, Mavbole, 

 England, and the price of the machine in question, freight and duty paid, 

 landed in Melbourne, was ^21. If these or similar machines were to be 

 manufactured in the State it would give an impetus to the use of lime, the 

 effects of which would soon make themselves felt, particularly in the 

 southern parts of the State.
