Lactometers. This invention is found to be of great utility 

 and advantage in testing the quality of cream given by each 

 cow. It consists of a small mahogany frame which contains 

 four or six glass tubes of ten inche^s in length and half an inch 

 in diameter. These tubes are divided into tenths, and num- 

 bered from one to ten, which show the quantity of cream given 

 by each cow. This little article is found very useful, and is 

 much used in iarsre dairies. 



Davis' Improved Patent Dirt Scraper. This road or dirt scra- 

 per, invented by Shadrock Davis, is used to great adv^antage 

 in removing dirt or gravel, more particularly in stony lands, 

 from the peculiar construction of the points, which are similar 

 to those of a plough point. They enter the ground very free 

 and easy, fill and discharge themselves, and are easily managed 

 by one horse or a yoke" of oxen. Ploughing is unnecessary 

 where these shovels are used. 



We the undersigned hereby certify that we have used Davis' 

 patent plough-pointed road and dirt scraper, and we consider 

 it a great improvement on the common road scraper, and can 

 with confidence recommend it to the public, as being superior 

 to any implement of the kind we have ever used, particularly 

 in sandy and stony land, being so constructed as to load itself 

 without the use of ploughing, which is common in using the old- 

 fashion dirt scraper. We consider it one of the greatest labor- 

 saving implements to the road-maker that can be used, and as 

 such we fully recommend it to the public.
