LIQUID-MANURE DISTRIBUTOR OR WATER-CART. 



ISAAC JAMES, Tivoli, Cheltenham, begs most 

 respectfully to solicit the attention of Agriculturists and 

 others, to his newly-invented Patent Liquid-Manure Distributor, 

 or "Water-Cart. The advame of science having so exhibited 

 to Agriculturists the superior advantage of using Liquid- 

 Manure, as to induce its almost general adoption, a great 

 want was felt for a Distributor, so constructed, as to answer the 

 purpose of equal y distributing any quantity, without being liable 

 to clog up, and thus hinder the progress of the work, and waste the 

 time of the workman, and yet produced at a price alike available 

 to the small farmer or gardener, as to the more wealthy and 

 extensive cultivator. 



I. James warrants his Distributor to supply the desideratum 

 so long felt. Its superiority consists in possessing the following 

 advantages : — 



1. It has two Strainers, so arranged as to prevent anything but 

 liquid entering into the Distributor, so that it is impossible for it 

 to clog up. 2. The liquid is forced through the Distributor so as 

 scatter any quantity on the land, in a copious shower from 

 10 to 15 feet wide (according to size), which saves a great amount 

 of time and labour. 3. It has waterproof joints, so that the 

 liquid may be carted to any distance without wasting it. 4. It 

 will work equally well on hilly as on level land, without any 

 alteration. 5. It can be advantageously adapted for the Distri- 

 bution of Guano, &c, on either Drilled Crops or Pasture Land. 

 6. It is so constructed as to be thoroughly adapted for Watering 

 Streets. 7. It works so simply that even a boy can superin- 

 tend it. 



Prices :— 

 250 gallons, suitable for working by horse, £22 weight of cart, 



8i cwt., tire 4 inches. 

 150 do. do., £18 weight of cart, 6i cwt., tire 3 inches.

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 la 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 Fuch eqHal 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 necessarv, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the tniddle'of the path towards the sides. 



The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BARNS, 

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

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

 winter equally welt as iu summer. 



Manufacturers of the Cement, J. Bt White & Brothers, 

 Milbank Street, Westminster. 



We direct the attention of our readers to the 

 notice in another page of the Great Cattle Show 



at Paris. 



Agriculture is not yet, nor will it ultimately be so 

 fully illustrated in the Great French Exhibition as 

 it was in our own Crystal Palace of 1851. The 

 long supplementary gallery by the northern bank 

 of the Seine has however its eastern end devoted to 

 machines and products of the farm ; and, thanks to 

 English agricultural mechanises, it has, already 

 placed, a well arranged series of specimens 

 of farm implements and machinery — the only Riga 

 indeed of anything like completeness in the build- 

 ing. To Messrs. Garrett, Hornsby, Clayton, Clay- 

 ton and Shuttlkworth, Howard, Ransome, and 

 several other well-known names, we are indebted 

 for this representation of a branch of industry now 

 so important. We noticed, too, specimens of seeds 

 and plants partly arranged in their cases by Vil- 

 morin, and other seedsmen of Paris, and the only other 

 suite of specimens in place are impoitations from 

 Canada, which has sent a series of casks full of 

 grain and seeds and flour. An immense number of 

 chests lying still unpacked, and labelled as from 

 different districts of France, indicate that an exhi- 

 bition technically interesting to the agriculturist 

 will yet make its appearance. 



No true lover of the Soil can help wishing for 

 the day when the interesting topics it hides within 

 its bosom shall have become more common property, 

 and more capable of common speech. None but the 

 pedant or the sciolist can find pleasure, or indeed 

 anything but pain, in talking over the heads of his 

 audience, or in carrying on a discussion in language 

 unfamiliar to a large proportion of those who should 

 be not listeners only, but earnest partakers in the 

 question. That a great, though gradual, change is 

 stealing over the agriculture of this country in this 

 particular, scarcely any one who has had long 

 opportunities of observation will deny. The num- 

 ber is vastly increased, within the last 10 or 15 



years, of those to whom the toil and tedium of
