•iSG Report, on the Exhibition and Trials of Implements at Leeds. 
uougli, Messrs. I!, aud I. Eeeves, Mr. James CoiiUas, jun., Mr. John Green, 
Messrs. Denison and Son, and Messrs. Gower and Son. 
Tliese distributors were tried with moist ashes and with soot, the objecL 
teino; to ascertain the smallest quantity which could be evenly and accurately 
distributed. 
AVith laroe quantities, nearly all the machines performed fairly, hut in 
distributing small quantities of concentrated manure, Mr. Chambers's drill 
showed its superiority. It is now seven years since this drill was first 
exhibited; it still remains without alteration, and yet the best machine 
extant — a rare instance of perfection attained on the first essay. 
The 1st Prize of 71. was awarded to Mr. Thomas Chambers, jun., for article 
Xo. 890 ; and the 2nd Prize of 31. to Messrs. Holmes aud Son, for article 
JNo. 464. 
The Judges highly commended article No. 1199, exhibited by Messrs. 
Priest and Woolnough ; and article No. 1284, exhibited by Messrs. E. 
and I. Eeeves ; and commended article No. 37, exhibited by Mr. James 
Coultas, junr. 
Liquid Manure Disteibutoes. 
Three machines were tried in this Class, belonging to Mr. W. Crosskill's 
Trustees and Mr. I. James. 
The 1st Prize of fi?. was awarded-to the Trustees of Mr. W. Crosskill, for 
article No. 400 ; and the 2nd Prize of il. to Mr. Isaac James, for article 
No. 1102, 
Both were tried first with plain water, and then with an admixture of 
supei'phosphate. It appeared to the Judges that no manure could be advan- 
tageously distributed with water by these machines but such as could be easily 
mixed and held in solution. When there was much sediment the action was 
not satisfactory ; but for ordinary tank-water and thoroughly soluble manure 
the ajiplication was satisfactor}^ and complete. 
HOKSE-HOES, SlAGLE RoW, ON PiIDGE OR FlAT. 
Many admirable iuqolements were exhibited in this Class, and uo less than 
twenty selected for trial, belonging to Messrs. Carson and Toone, the Busby

James Meilard, Messrs. Hunt and Pickering, Mr. W. S. Underbill, Mr. Thomas 
Butcher, Messrs. I. and F. Haucock, Messrs. Majiplebeck and Lowe, and 
Messrs. W. Hensman and Son. 
The excellent, and, in some cases, almost equal, performance of these imple- 
ments left the Judges a most difficult and delicate task in deciding upon their 
respective merits. AfteV a careful trial, the 1st Prize of 51. was awarded to 
Messrs. Corson and Toone, for article No. 54 ; the 2nd Prize of 31. to the 
Busby Agricultural Imjjlement Company, for article No. 521 ; and the 3rd 
Prize of '21. to Messrs. Page and Co., for article No. 1600.
