A Silver Medal to Boivley's Blast-Drill. Art. 4, Stand 119; exhibited by 

 Priest and Woolnough. Price 181. — This implement, whilst it effectually 

 destroys the fly on the turnip-crop, at the same time applies a top-dressing of 

 lime, soot, or other compost ; and we are of opinion that it might likewise be 

 successfully used for destroying the black caterpillar, which commits such 

 extensive ravages on the plant.
