This implement is Howard's well-known 

 wrought-iron plough, converted into a very 

 effective subsoiler by removing the ordinary 

 body and attaching the subsoil frame ; the 

 extra cost being 20.s-. Total cost 3^ 12?. 6d. 



Subsoiler (A. Beauclerk). This implement 

 worked very well. The screw attached is 

 a novel and curious appendage. If it in- 

 creases the draught it may be of no use. 



A useful subsoil plough on Read's principle. 



For a Cotgrave's subsoil and trenching plough. 

 A well-established implement : when tried on 

 Fowler's steam-ploughing system, did its 

 work very well.

For a Crosskill's improved clodcrusher having 

 serrated discs moviug at different velocities, 

 which gives it a self-cleaning action. The 

 discs are fixed on a round axle, which facili- 

 tates its turning. The implement maintained 

 its established reputation. 



An improved serrated roller having discs, to 

 which an eccentric motion is given by the 

 mode of attaching them to the spindle. This 

 gives it a compound action, and self-cleaning 

 is attained. The implement did its work 

 very well. 



A useful general-purpose roller, moving on 

 convex discs. It is well adapted to roll 

 wheat, and as a crusher on fallow lands. 



For a Crosskill's roller, somewhat diff"erent 

 in its arrangements to the one exhibited. 

 Stand 8, Art. 3 ; but a most useful roller, 



A roller having alternating smooth and serrated 

 discs. It worked well, and produced an 

 abrasion of the soil under the serrated discs, 

 while the smooth ones had a crusliing effbct. 



A most useful plain roller for wheat or fallow 

 lands, ill three cylinders, which are inde- 

 pendent of each other, and turn round witii- 

 out dragging fslading, or sledging) the land. 



A smooth roller, liaving Avrought-iron plates 

 instead of metal ones. It is the first aj)pli- 

 cation of wrouglu iron to a roller, and its 

 advantages are that a light roller is obtained 

 having a large diameter. 



A light and sniootli roller in two parts, jointed 

 in tlic middle, and intended ciiieHy for stetcli- 

 work, for which it is well adapted. 



A Norwegian harrow, or spiked roller ; a 

 most useful implement, being an improve- 

 ment on the old-fashioned spike roller, with 

 tiie advantage of the spikelets moving on a 

 round axle and independent of each other.
