Implement Show at Bury St. Edmund's, 617 



Warner and Sons (1220). A Chain Pump for Liquid Manure, of very- 

 simple construction, its peculiarity being that nothing can choke it. An 

 endless chain with discs at definite intervals to fit the pipe passes over a 

 wheel above, and entering the bottom of the pipe the li([uid is elevated by the 

 discs. The model shown had a barrel of about two inches in diameter, and 

 into the water was thrown a quantity of stones and gravel ; nothing seemed to 

 interfere with its working, the stones and dirt passing out at the spout with 

 the water ; suitable for small depths, 12 to 15 feet ; peculiarly valuable for 

 manure, which destroys valves of ordinary pumps; simple, and not liable to 

 get out of order. 



Tangye, Brothers, and Holmau (-122). A Double-Action Pump in one 

 barrel, with an air vessel of corresponding exterior, securing a continuous jet, 

 and producing a powerful hydropult. It is worked by a central spindle, 

 without either rods or guides, whereby the working parts are reduced to a 

 minimum. A new arrangement of the valves allows of every part of the 

 pump being examined without disconnecting any of the pipes. 



Alfred Wrinch (3123 to 3201). An assortment of garden seats, tables, 

 spring chairs, &c. ; the whole collection being really meritorious, we were 

 induced to deviate from the usual practice of confining the awards to what may 

 be properly termed " Agricultural Implements." 



A. B. Childs' Aspirator (4692). This machine is very simple and durable, 

 and may be worked by either hand or steam power. Separation is effected 

 by aspiration, without riddles, according to specific gravity ; each gi'ain is 

 weighed as in the most delicate balance, and every ingredient lighter 

 than the good grain is removed and separated. We had no opportunity of 

 testing the power required, but it would doubtless be considerably greater 

 than that required for ordinary winnowing machines, a defect which the 

 inventor considers to be counterbalanced by the perfect way in which the 

 grain is cleaned by one operation. 



Boby, Clerk, and Co. (2951 to 2989), exhibited an assortment of draining 

 tools, forks, &c. The draining tools consist of nine pieces, made of solid 

 cast steel, and the forks of the same materials, combining lightness and 

 durability. 



Burney and Co. (2737 to 2758), a collection of strong Wrought-Iron Cattle- 

 Troughs and Cisterns, made of the best Staffordshire iron. For their strength, 

 lightness, and durability, they are highly meritorious ; the price per gallon is 

 very moderate, and deserves notice. 



Clayton, Shuttleworth, and Co.'s "Adjusting Blocks for fixing Steam 

 Engines and Threshing Machines " we considered worthy of a medal. It is 

 a very simple and ingenious contrivance, by which an engine or threshing 

 machine may be thoroughly fixed in half the usual time, without any chance 

 of its slipping afterwards. 



Musgrave and Brothers (1367 to 1407), a large assortment of stable fittings, 

 cow stalls, &c. A sj^eciman of a loose box, 12 feet square. The door folds 

 back perfectly fiat, and having no projection, removes all fear of a horse being 

 injured. The fittings altogether may truly be termed harmless ; the water- 

 pot is fixed on pivots at the sides, by which means it may be emptied without 

 removal from its place ; the water passes imderneath the floor of the box by a 

 drain, covered with loose plates of perforated iron, any one of which can be 

 easily removed in case of obstruction ; the water-pot and manger are enamelled, 

 and can be enclosed by a grating, which fastens back when the horse is feeding. 

 The rack is furnished with a sliding hay-guard, which lies on the top of the 

 hay, preventing any undue waste. One special improvement to be noticed is 

 the " noiseless tie ;" by merely a touch of the finger the horse may be released 

 at once in case of fastness. A sliding bar is inserted in the divisional ]iar- 

 titions, and this can be pulled out oir leaving the horse for the night, so that
