Report on the Miscellaneous Implements 
This is probably one of tlie most important improvements 
recently introduced into tlie accessory apparatus of a roller-mill, 
and as such, although only indirectly connected with agriculture 
proper, was considered by the J udges deserving of a silver medal. 
II. Dairy Implements. 
{(t) Cream Separators. 
It is unfortunate, either that the Newcastle trials of hand- 
power separators did not come a little later in time, or the sepa- 
rators shown at Nottingham a little earlier, for the latter constitute 
a marked advance upon the former machines. Whether or not 
the competitive trials of 1887 led makers to realise in what 
points their machines were defective, and how they could be 
improved, it is dilRcult to say, but it is certain that all the hand- 
power separators shown at Nottingham were within the power 
of a lad, while none of those competing at Newcastle were so.

beparator for Hand rower. , , , ° . ' 
showed, amongst other tmngs, a 
"Danish" cream-separator for 
hand power (Art. 722) (see 
fig. 4), which differs in nothing 
but its size and driving gear from 
the ordinary "Danish" separator. 
It separates fifteen gallons per 
hour when the handle is turned 
at forty revolutions per minute, 
giving 6,000 revolutions to the 
milk drum, and is suitable for a 
dairy of from two to ten cows. 
The Dairy Supply Company, 
of Museum Street, London, W.C., 
exhibited a cream separator for 
hand-power (Art. 590). This 
Company showed, at Newcastle, 
a horizontal form of the well- 
known " Laval " separator, ar- 
ranged for hand power, which they have now supplemented by a 
smaller machine, called the " Baby " (fig. 5, p. 99), wherein the 
milk vessel again assumes the vertical position. The " Baby " 
exhibits a decided advance upon the Newcastle machine, so far 
as its adaptation to hand power is concerned. As regards separa- 
tion, the machine remains a true "Laval," has a capacity of 
twelve gallons per hour, is within the power of a lad to work,
