THE GENESEE FAKMEE. 



There are some late improvements in its construction, by R. Garrett & Son, wliicli 

 consist in substituting wrought iron instead of cast iron for the tines, without any extra 

 cost, whereby the liability to breakage is entirely obviated ; and in the application of a 

 lever to each side of the scarifier, so that either traveling-wheel may be raised or depressed 

 higlicr or lower than the other, to suit sloping gi-ounds, and to cause the teeth to pene- 

 trate a uniform depth in the land ; and this alteration may be effected while the imple- 

 ment is proceeding in its work. 



'■'■ Nett Prices, with one set of Tines or Proyigs. — Three feet six inches wide, with Ave 

 prongs, £7 ; four feet six inches wide, with seven prongs, £9 10s.; six feet wide, with 

 nine prongs, Avith side levers, £12 ; ditto, with wrought iron fi-ame, £18. Pouits, 8s. 

 per dozen. Blades, 4-inch, 10s. ; 6-inch, lis.; 9-inch, 12s. per dozen." 



I annex the prices to show the cost compared with that of the American implements. 

 This machine is somewhat silnilar to Hyde's Cultivator, manufactured in this State. 



Improved or Patent Trussed Whifftc-trees. — The difference between these, and those 

 in general use, is fully explained 

 by the annexed drawing, (fig. 4.) 

 Thoy combine great strength 

 with lightness. The additional 

 strength which the trussing gives, 

 admits of the other part being 

 much lighter; while breaking, 

 under any ordinary circumstan- 

 ce% must be out of the question. 

 The truss is a light iron rod. 



Grain Cruslier. 



PATENT TRUSSED WHIFFLE-TREES. 



This is called in England, "Harding's priiieiplc-." 

 ■This is an im"[Dlement or machine of great importance. Few people 

 in this country seem to be aware of the advantages of crushing corn or oats before feed- 

 ing them to horses. Economy alone should induce their general adoption. I know 

 from experience that for a working horse half a bushel of grain crushed is better than a 

 bushel in its whole state. It requires consid- 

 erable muscular power to properly masticate 

 hard corn or oats, and hence it is that the 

 manure heap shows such a lai-ge portion of it 

 entirely whole and fit for growth. I think a 

 good article of this Icind at a moderate price 

 would be a great desideratum to fiirmers. I have 

 heard Sinclair's spoken of, but I do not know 

 how good it is. The annexed cut represents one 

 of the best, simplest, and cheapest, I observed in 

 England. This mill is fixed on a cast iron franie. 

 In the lower part of the frame are two case hard- 

 ened and slightly grooved rollers ; these are 

 adapted for malt, oats, and linseed, which they 

 briuse to any required fineness admirably ; the 

 bean roller ab©ve acting as a feed all the time. 

 Above this pair is a coarsely grooved roller, 

 working against a plate, which hangs indepen- 

 dently of the frame, and is set up to the roller or 

 drawn back by the regulator screw ; this roller 



is intended for beans, peas, and Indian corn, which it splits in the best manner. When 



using it for the latter purpose, of course the screws which regulate the lower rollers must 



be turned back, to separate and throw them out of gear. The hopper falls back upon a 



-, V hinge, to enable the person using to set the rollers, or see if there is any derangement
