was done bv the introduction of two sieves of different dimensions; 

 the linseed-cake, hv the action of opposin<r teeth, is crushed into 

 pieces of an irregular size ; the largest pieces are caught by sieve 

 Xo. L and thrown out by a spout for cattle ; that which is next 

 intercepted by sieve Xo. 2 is of a size suited for sheep; and the 

 remainder, which has passed through both sieves, may be applied 

 either for tillage or as a mixture with other food. 



The machine,, however, which perhaps attracted more observa- 

 tion than any other in the yard was a Tile and Sole making Ma- 

 chine, invented by Mr. Beart, of Godmanchester, and was by the 

 judges recommended for the Society's reward : it was stated to be 

 an improvement upon one for which Mr. Beart had recently- 

 received a medal from a local society in the county of Hunting- 

 don, and was of an ingenious and simple construction, and its 

 price such as to render it within the compass of any one possessed 

 of capital enough to set up a tile-yard : sufficiently portable also 

 to be moved with ease, and without risk of disarrangement. 



Messrs. Drummond and Son, of Stirling, showed a variety of 

 implements, chiefly of iron, and well executed. Amongst them 

 was a Turnip-ScufBer, made with a pair of moveable cast-iron 

 mould-boards ; which was perhaps one of the most efficient arti- 

 cles of the many that were shown of a similar description. 



In conclusion, the Judges can but reiterate the hope of last 

 year, that, under such encouragem.ent as that afforded by the 

 Royal Agricultural Society of England, the advancement of 

 knowledge in Agricultural Machinery may not be of a temporary 

 nature, but progressive, and be not more characterised bv novelty 

 of design than by skill in execution.
