596 Report of the Trials of Ploughs, Harrows, Sfc, at Hull. 
In Class 30, the Prize was ofTered for the best implement for 
cultivating or scarifying purposes, not qualified to compete in 
the preceding Classes. Here Mr. Clay entered an implement 
precisely similar as to mechanism with those which had com- 
peted before, but fitted with drag teeth. Thus showing the 
adaptability of the implement for a variety of different opera- 
tions, each of which is equally well performed. A farmer 
buying one of these Cultivators, with all necessary appliances, 
has a cultivator, broadshare, and drag-harrow combined, all 
easily worked and thoroughly efficient. We object to a combi- 
nation, when quality of work is sacrificed to obtain it ; but it is 
highly meritorious when the same implement is perfect in three 
distinct operations. 
Messrs. Coleman and Morton, of Chelmsford, have been long known in 
connection with an excellent cultivator. The lifting apparatus consists of a 
strong central beam, held in brackets on either side of the frame, and actuated 
by a lever handle. The tines, or prongs, five in number, are connected with 
the beam by rods fi inch by f inch attached to their upper end ; each tine is 
suspended to the frame by a screw-bolt working in a slot, which allows the 
requisite freedom of action. The depth of the tines in reference to the frame 
can be altered according to the hole through which the screw-bolt passes, 
altering at the same time the point of connection between the top of the tine 
and the connecting rods. The tines are made both of cast and wrought metal. 
Shares of great variety are supplied, so as to effect a variety of operations.
