ON IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 85 



1 dozen Potatoe Diggers, a most useful implement. 



Steel Spring Tined Manure Forks, with from four to ten tines. 



Two and three tined Hay Forks. 



Ox Yokes, of various sizes. 



Crowell's Thermometer Churns. 



Apple Parers, a convenient little article. 



Case of small tools, for grafting, budding, and trimming trees, 

 some of them lately brought into use. 



Corn Sheller, said to shell 150 bushels per day, and worked by 

 two men. Cost $8. 



A double one, said to do double the work in the same time. Cost 



$12.^ 



Grindstone Hangings, with friction rollers, and with plates each 

 side of the stone to secure it to the crank, all of cast iron. Cost 

 i^2 25. 



Flails, with iron caps and swivel, and the two parts of some of 

 them attached by an iron link. 



Bush Scythes and Snaiths ; also Grain Cradles and Spoon, for 

 digging post holes. 



Long Tined Forks for loading corn, an article we believe exhibited 

 for the first time. 



From the warehouse of Ruggles, Nourse & Mason, of Boston, 

 were exhibited nine Ploughs, a part of them with a cutter, called a 

 horn, cast on the iron of the plough, to take the place of a cutter 

 secured to the beam. 



CoQcave Hoes. 



An Iron Fork, with the start bent like a hoe, to be used in pulling 

 manure from a cart; — a convenient implement in unloading long 

 manure. 



Hay Cutters, with straight knives, said to be an improvement on 

 the former pattern. 



Corn Shellers. 



Hay and Manure Forks, of the various sizes and patterns. 



David Ames, of Boscawen, N. H., presented a Plough, the main 

 unprovement of which over other patterns is, a wider plough-share, 

 cutting a furrow about as wide as the plough is designed to turn ; 

 and a cutter secured to the plough, something like the old fashioned 

 coulter. Apparently a strong plough, and well suited to hard and 

 stonj land ; and we see no reason why it may not work well on any 

 soil.
