Testimonials. 



From Mr. James Gentles, Contractor. — "I have for a con- 

 siderable time past used Gillespie's Patent Inclinometer in 

 extensive drainage operations carried on by me, and I have found 

 it to be of the greatest service, in showing the minutest slope in 

 the ground, and in saving of labour; and I could not have con- 

 structed many of the drains with any degree of accuracy without 

 its assistance."— James Gentles, Hart Hill, by Whitburn, 



Extract of a letter from John Mitchell, Esq., Stand Hill. Bath- 

 gate. — " I highly appreciate its capabilities as a levelling instru- 

 ment. In level lands, where there is a difficulty in detecting in 

 which direction the land slopes, it is invaluable." 



Extract of a letter from Mr. John Turner. Surveyor, Whitburn. 

 — " The more I have tested it the more have I appreciated 

 value. By this invention the power of levelling is brought within 

 the reach of all men of ordinary capacity." 



Sold by William Dray & Co., Engineers, &c. f Swan Lane, 

 London. Specimens and Models may be seen at their Wareroon 

 Also a Descriptive Treatise on the nature and uses of the Patent

WATERPROOF PATHS.— BARN AND CATTLE SHED 



FLOORS. 



THOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 

 winter months should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thus:— Screen the 

 gravel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 

 is mixed with it .and to every part of clean gravel add one of sharp 

 river sand. To five parts of such equal mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole well in the dry state before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches thick. Any 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock. Vegetation 

 cannot grow through or upon it, and it resists the action of the 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sides. 



The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YARDS, and all other situations 

 where a clean, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be laid in 

 winter equally well as in summer.

 Tbcesuat. * - 15-Ajricultural Imp. Society ot Ireland. 



Every profession has its enthusiasts ; and agri- 

 culture in all its departments has them in abund- 

 ance. Of those who are especially interested in 

 cultivation we have teachers of deep and of shallow 



culture of tilth without manure — and of manure 



applied in the liquid form, or as top-dressirgs in the 

 solid form. In other divisions of the subject we 

 have devotees of plant improvement and of animal 

 improvement. Poultry has absorbed the whole re- 

 gard of many ; and there is many an ill cultivated 

 farm occupied by men celebrated as breeders of stock, 

 to prove that it also often too exclusively engages alL 

 the energy of the tenant. Agricultural improve- 

 ment owes a great deal to enthusiasts. It makes 

 progress piecemeal in the hands of those who are
