Agricultural Machinery and Implements. 



In Agricultural Machines were to be foutid ploughs, drills, 

 haiTows, reaping aud mowing machines, chaff and straw cutters, 

 grain and root crusher.^ and cuttera, thrashing machines of various 

 construction, agricultural horse-power, (occup3'ing wondeifully 

 small space for the power exerted,) cultivatois, fanning mills, 

 churns and cheese presses, and various other labom'-saving 

 machines ; a clover seed gatherer ; a cross-cutting saw mill also 

 attracted particular attention. All these machines bore a high 

 stamp of excellence, and were not surpassed by those of English 

 and American make. The subsoil plough was, in the foreign 

 department, prominent, thus shewing a decided approval of the 

 latest improvements in English and Scotch agriculture ; there were 

 wanted but the draining plough, and draining tile and pipe 

 machine to represent the latest and most permanent improve- 

 ments which British ingenuity has produced in her struggle 

 against the world. 



Though not evincing so gi'eat an imjsrovement over former 

 exhibitions as we had hoped to see, the collection of Canadian 

 Agricultural Machineiy presented many encouraging facts to our 

 notice; and chiefly so is the very favourable manner in which it 

 compared with similar productions exhibited by our neighboui-s. 

 It has been generally admitted, though almcst without enquiry, 

 that the older hands on the ■" other side," as a matter of course, 

 produce implements so superior to those manufactured in Canada 

 as to put all attempts at successful competition out of the question. 

 It is to be regretted that our mechanics have so long tacitly 

 admitted the truth of that assumption ; it needed but an impar- 

 tial examination of the machines exhibited last month to prove 

 its fallac}!-, aud to demonstrate that we need but a fau- field — aud 

 no fiivours — beyond a fitir trial, to enable us of Canada to com- 

 pete successfully in the manufacture of Agricultural implements 

 with our older established brethern across the border. Let us 

 not be understood here as repudiating our obligations to our very 

 energetic neighbours: we owe them a turn for rubbing off our 

 rusty spots. 



The Reaping and Mowing Machines exhibited by Mr. Helm 

 of Port Hope are, to our luiiid, fully equal to the imported ones 

 of M' Cormick, Hussoy & Ketchum, whether considered in 

 reference to their mode of operation, or the workmanship dis- 

 played in their construction. 



The Ploughs exhibited were numerous, and displayed a fair 

 amount of me(^hanicaI skill in their construction, as well as a
