The judges on miscellaneous articles presented the following 



REPORT: 



The judges on miscellaneous articles found scope for the full exer- 

 cise of judicial functions in their department, ranging from a patent 

 pig-pen to a bottle of native wine, and from a hay press to a box of 

 honey. 



The first thing on our list of entries was a patent " bean and potato 

 assorting machine." This seemed to be a very useful apparatus. The 

 business is done by a combination of different sized screens admitting 

 the different seeds and sending them to separate boxes. A screen 

 with larger mesh is used for potatoes, which will sprout as well as 

 sort the potatoes. This is for sale at No. 5 iSatterman's Block, 

 Lincoln Street, Boston. 



A coal sifter was also exhibited by the same. Not so convenient, 

 and more expensive than 



Bartlett's sifter, sold by Neilson ds Langley, No. 96 Broadway, 

 South Boston, which is cheap and efficacious.
