734 Report on Implements at Preston. 
mentioned as one of the implements used in testing the whipple- 
trees. In general construction this plough is similar to the 
Climax Plough of these makers, but two novelties have been 
introduced ; 1st, a disc coulter pushes the last drawn furrow 
further awav, to make room for the next slice to be turned so 
completely upside down that no turf is allowed to come near 
the surface ; 2nd, the angle of the plough-share is neatly 
idjusted by means of an excentric bolt in the share-lever. An 
arm is extended at right angles, from the beam hinged to it 
near the centre of the plough, with a brace to strengthen it, also 
hinged to the beam ; at the extremity of this arm a bar is 
attached in a position parallel to the beam, and at the ends of 
this bar, by means of adjustable clamps, the two disc-coulters or 
pressers are attached, one to follow each mould-board of the 
turn-furrow. These pressers are set obliquely to the beam, and 
almost parallel to the mould-board, and at such a distance that 
the disc partly rubs off the side of the last furrow, and at the 
same time shoves the furrow bodily away, pressing it hard 
up against the previous furrow. When the plough turns, the 
disc bar is swung over to the other side of the beam, the first 
coulter is idle, and the second one in work. The furrow, being 
completely turned upside down, lies much more solidly upon its 
face than an ordinary furrow that lies obliquely upon the pre- 
vious furrow, and touches the subsoil chiefly at one corner. This 
will be a great advantage in ploughing for wheat on light land, 
for no skim-plough is needed, and the solidity of the land will 
assist the wheat to stand the frost. The adjustment of the share 
is effected by means of a share-lever or neck running back to the 
body of the plough ; a stout bolt with an excentric shank passes 
through the plough body, its shank passes through a slot in the 
lever. By turning the bolt the lever is raised or lowered, and 
the share can be adjusted to any depth from in, to one inch. 
A nut secures the bolt in its position after adjustment. * 
No. 1129, Galvanized Wire Fence, manufactured by Messrs. 
Bruce and Still, of Norfolk Street, Liverpool. The standards 
are of light galvanized wrought-iron, of a figure-of-eight section 
tapering to the top, where it receives a solid cap ; it stands 
4 feet out of ground ; there are six lines of 7-ply galvanized- 
wire strand. The top one is of No. 4 B. W. gauge ; the other 
No. 5 of No. 6 B. W. gauge, with cast-iron straining pillar to 
each 220 yards ; price, Is. bd. per yard. 
Mr. William Tamer, of Newton, North //'aZes, exhibited a new 
Sheep Rack and Trough Combined, No. 1403. The roof is of 
galvanized corrugated iron, in two parts; the movable part 
extends the whole length of the rack, and is raised over on to the 
stationary part. The chief feature of novelty is the introduction
