IMPROVED MOWING AND ROLLING MACHINE 







ALEXANDER SHANKS and SON, Arbroath. 



-^* Forfarshire, Inventors and Sole Manufacturers, respectful! 

 solicit the attention of the Nobility, Gentry, and Gardeners to 

 this Improved Machine for Mowing and Rolling Lawns lb 

 Machine is in operation in the Loyal Gard. i at Wind* 

 Palace, Buckingham Palace, and at Osborne, in the Botanical 

 Gardens at Kew, Regent's Park, Mancheh Sheffield ; at 



Blenheim Palace, Trentbam, Cleveden, i Ivaston, Brosdlanda, 

 Wohurn Abbey, (lumber, Lilleshall, Castle Howard, Bhi md 

 Eridge Castle, Enville Hall, Tijitree Hall. Chatsworth. and in 

 many other of the principal gardens in the kingdom as well as in 



the United States, British America, and on the Continent * 



its merits have been fully prov. d, and its surcets eKtahlihhed. 

 The machine is made to cut the breadth of 42, 80, 20, aid 



15 inches respectively, is exceedingly durable, easily managed, 

 and adjusted to cut to the length required. The ex ecu I i the 



work is far superior to what may 1 attained he most 1 



mower, while at the same time a great saving « fla ir is effect < d. 

 and the turf much improved. By the largest machine a Scrtcli 

 acre may be mowed, rolled, and the Grass collected in one hour. 



A. 8. and Soy have much pleasure in stating that they have 

 made considerable Improvements in their 15-inch or hand 

 machine this year, by which the draught is considerably lesacned. 

 This machine combines all the merits and advantages of the 

 larger machines with firm and secure construction, and is 

 admirably adapted for borders and for lawns ot no great extent. 



Alexander SHAKES and Sox also respoctfully solicit notice 

 to "Flemings Weeding or Salting Machine" for destroying 

 weeds in gravel walks, court-yards, drives, &c. This machine 

 is now in operation in many parts of Fi 1, where it baa given 



ample satisfaction as the best and most economical means of 

 thoroughly keeping down weeds or Moss. 



Further particulars, with testimonials and prices, may be bad 

 on application.

 PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES, and COMBINED 

 THRESHING, STRAW SHAKING, RIDDLING and WIN- 

 NOWING MACHINE may be Feen at their London Establish- 

 ment, 6, Fitzroy Terrace, New Road, where all information 

 relative thereto can be obtained. These Machines are constructed 

 to horn Barley, and make a perfect separation of the chaff from

C. S. & Co. have paid special attention to this class of 

 Machinery, and Fixed Barn Machinery, and from the position 

 they have taken at the Royal and all the leading Agricultural 

 Shows of England, flatter themselves that for efficiency, dura- 

 bility, and simplicity, their Engines and Machines are not 

 surpassed by any other maker in England. All letters for- 



We have more than once referred to the policy 

 of our ordinary Labourers' Friend Societies, and 

 defended the conclusion that to offer money rewards 

 for morality and benevolence is mistaken and absurd. 

 The prize lists of these Societies do, as our readers 

 know, contain offers of money to those who shall 

 have brought up the largest families in respecta- 

 bility, and to those who shall have lived sober, 

 chaste, and respectable lives in the same household 

 for the greatest number of years ; and to those who 

 shall have maintained their parents or other rela- 

 tives than their own immediate families under 

 circumstances of the greatest difficulty. 



Our objection to these offers has been read as if it 

 referred to the whole system of rustic gatherings 

 for the purpose of emulation and reward, than 

 which, we believe, nothing can be more beneficial. 

 No reasonable man can deny the advantage of all

classes occasionally meeting. Such meetings 

 almost the only opportunities when the influence of 

 the more intelligent and the more excellent of a 

 neighbourhood may be brought to bear directly 

 upon those who occupy a lower position in these 

 respects : and if rewards for good conduct were the 

 only way of gathering labourers and landlord, 

 clergyman and tenantry together, we would advo- 

 cate these prizes, notwithstanding their immediate 

 uselessness, for the sake of this collateral advantage 

 which they confer. 



That such prizes are not necessary for this pur- 

 pose there is, however, abundant evidence to prove. 

 Every country flower show and every ploughing 

 match is evidence of this. Such gatherings as Lord 

 Radnor annually holds at Coleshill, in Berkshire, and 

 one of which has just been held, are a conclusive 

 testimony on the same side. Prizes to the best 

 mowers and shearers, and for the possession of agri- 

 cultural skill of any kind, are more attractive than those 

 for excellence of moral character, and the gathering 

 is thus more perfect. The young and strong — 

 precisely those whom it is most important to bring 

 under the influence of kindly words and good 

 advice — are brought together here ; they feel sure 

 of receiving justice as well as encouragement, for 

 skill may he estimated accurately — it is measured by 

 a result that is obvious to the senses ; the morality 

 of any course of conduct cannot be certainly 

 determined, it is measured by its motive, which we 

 cannot knoWj but which is certainly liable to be 

 degraded by money rewards - offered to good men.
