oking-apparatus, with steaming-pans and a boiling-pan, this 
•ing heated sometimes by exhaust steam from the engine, and 
len this is not at work, by a separate fire connected with the 
. gine chimney. An apple-mill and cider-press are fixed in the 
ixing-house, and on the chamber-floor a pair of 3-feet peak- 
jnes, a roller-mill, a cake-breaker, a chaff-cutter, and a sack- 
listing tackle are driven by the upper shafting. The machinery 
|is erected by Messrs. Tuxford and Sons, of Boston, Lincolnshire. 
AtDawpool, in Cheshire, Mr. Joseph Hegan's farm, an 8-horse- Messrs. 
iwer fixed engine drives by belts two lines of shafting, — the gj^'^^j*"" 
)per one actuating the threshing and dressing machinery, and machinery, 
e lower one imparting motion to the mills and smaller machines, 
lie threshing-machine is one of the complete and perfectly 
ting machines of Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth of Lincoln, 
10 constructed the whole of the machinery ; and it will thresh 
to 8 quarters per hour. The same line of shafting which 
(ives the threshing and dressing machinery, also drives a chafF- 
tter on the floor of the straw-barn ; the cut straw falls into 
mixing-bin in the forage-barn beneath, which is conveniently 
uated for receiving the produce from the steaming-pans placed 
the same compartment, and the pulped roots from one 
joining. In a large chamber next the boiler-house are fixed an 
iicake breaker ; a roller-mill for crushing linseed, oats, or beans ; 
; d a grinding-mill with French burr bed-stone and Derbyshire 
.ey running-stone, 3 feet in diameter, — this mill grinding about 
bushels per hour of fine flour, or bruising or kibbling a very 
iach larger quantity. In an adjoining compartment is a single- 
:ller bone-mill, capable of crushing and riddling 10 to 15 tons 
' bone per day of ten hours. At the end of the boiler-house 
. the pulping-house and forage-barn, with machinery for 
j.lping and steaming roots — the steam being supplied direct 
;im the engine-boiler. A lift- and force-pump supplies the 
iter required. 
The stackyard is covered ; it is 150 feet long by 78 feet wide, Covered 
:,d 20 feet deep from the floor-line to the underside of the tie- stackyard, 
ams of the principal trusses. It is divided by a paved roadway 
ito two main compartments, which are again subdivided by 
e trusses into 30 bays, each 30 feet deep by 19 feet wide. It 
11 hold on an average 120 acres of corn in the sheaf. 
Mr. J. C. Garth's machinery at Haines Hill, Berkshire, Messrs. 
instructed by Messrs. Ransomes, Sims, and Head, of Ipswich, Ransomes, 
san 8-horse fixed engine, driving one main shaft by a belt 'jj'^j.j*" 
:')m the fly-wheel, while bevel-wheel gearing gives motion to a machiuery 
ond line of shaft on the same level and placed at right-angles 
the first. A cooking-apparatus is arranged near the boiler.
