will carry 30 cwt., and turn in a short space. 

 This is a neat and useful vehicle, suitable for 

 one horse, or a pair of ponies. Price, £21 with 

 single shafts. 



A two or ihree-horse waggon, invented and 

 manufactured by Messrs. Hayes, is excellent 

 for quick delivery of corn, flour, or any other 

 produce. It is mounted upon springs and 

 patent axles, of the best manufacture, and will 

 carry 60 cwt. It is fitted with pole, or two 

 pairs of shafts, so arranged that either pair will 

 work with a single horse. It has a seat in 

 front, whereby the horses can be driven at a 

 fast rate. The body is so constructed, with a 

 circular front, made of iron, that it will turn in 

 twenty feet of ground; the front wheels, 

 4 ft. 4 in. high ; and body no higher from 

 the ground than ordinary waggons without 

 springs : a great advantage in loading and 

 unloading, and easy draught. This waggon 

 has obtained several first-class prizes. Price, 

 £i2 10s. — The same makers produce a light 

 one-horse spring waggon or van, mounted upon 

 patented axles, and fitted with four side and 

 three cross springs, of the best manufacture. 

 The front wheels lock under ; body wide and 

 square, up-fitted with floating raves, and 

 strengthened with angle iron plates, for top 

 loading. The framing of the body is made of 

 the best English oak. In every respect, it is 

 complete for railway carriers, merchants, and 

 manufacturers ; and very suitable for town or 

 country. — Its price is £35. It would be al- 

 most endless to describe all the excellent carts 

 and waggons in use. They are, as we have 

 said before, of every kind ; and almost every 

 maker has his patented article. 



CHAFF-CUTTERS. 

 Chaflf-cutters are, like carts, very numerous, 

 many of them exhibiting very slight dif- 

 ferences in their construction. One is espe- 

 cially arranged for small occupations, fitted 

 with toothed rollers, and having all the work- 

 ing parts securely protected. Its price is 

 £2 105. — Another is constructed entirely of 

 iron, having the improved form of toothed 

 rollers, rising mouth, and adjustments similar 

 to the larger machines. Its price is £3 15s. — 

 Another is constructed to work by a simple 

 arrangement of wheels, instead of worm ; fitted 

 with an improved form of toothed roller, rising 

 904. 



mouth, patent steel mouth-piece, and arranged 

 to vary the length of cut without change 

 wheels. This is well adapted for export, pack- 

 ing in a small compass. Price, £5 10*. — An- 

 other has a stop-motion, and a patent steel 

 mouth-piece, which is never worn hollow or un- 

 even by the friction of the passing knives. 

 Price, £7. — Another, of greater power and ca- 

 pacity, is adapted for steam or horse-power ; 

 fitted with the patent steel mouth and other 

 improvements, the rising mouth adjusting 

 itself to all and every variation or irregularity in 

 feeding. Price, £10. — Another is constructed 

 on entirely new principles, having two pairs of 

 feed-rollers acting independently of each other, 

 with the steel mouth-piece and stop motion. 

 The accuracy of the fitting, and the solidity of 

 construction, recommend this implement for 

 steam-power. — Besides these, Mr. Samuelson, 

 of Banbury, has invented a chaflf-cutter on an 

 iron frame, and adapted for hand or machine 

 power. The feed-rollers are self-adjusting, to 

 suit the thickness of straw or hay, so as to keep 

 it at a uniform pressure. It is fitted with 

 stop motion, enabling the man feeding to throw 

 it out of gear without stopping the driving 

 power. It has two knives, and the size of 

 mouth is 11 in. by 3^ in. ; intended to cut 

 1-inch chaff, but wheels for other lengths are 

 supplied at 5s. per length extra. Price (car- 

 riage-paid to any principal railway station in 

 England, Scotland, and to Dublin, Cork, or 

 Waterford), with pulley, £10 15*.; without 

 pulley, £10. — Messrs. Eansome, of Ipswich, 

 produce chaff'-cutters adapted for large occupa- 

 tions, railway carriers, job-masters, &c. These 

 may be used by steam or water-power ; cuts 

 ■jSyth, ^, and f-inch lengths, and more, if so 

 ordered. They are fitted with rising and fall- 

 ing rollers, adapting themselves to the thick- 

 ness of the feed ; have three knives, and will 

 cut from 30 to 35 cwt. of l-inch chaff per hour. 

 The cog-wheels are all covered over, and fitted 

 with striking-out gear. The box can be re- 

 moved when not at work. Price, £24 ; pulleys 

 for steam-power, extra. — Another, by the same 

 makers, can be worked by one or two men, 

 horse or steam-power. , It cuts diflerent 

 lengths of chaft"; viz.,i and i inch, or a greater 

 variety, if ordered. It has rising rollers and 

 patent striking-out gear, and is well adapted 

 for General use. Can be fitted with two or
