~ With respect to the mackmes for dressing com it mar be 
remarked that, whilst the Pennev"s Prize Corn-screen was a new 
and ing-enions device, Cooch s Prize Hand-dressing ^lachine was 
still prettv much in the same form as when it superseded the 
primitive fan fiftv vears ago. 
Pendtv's Prize Expand in? Corn-separator has been a sood 
deal taken up bv the makers of thrashing-machines, which is 
an indication that thev have faith in this ingenious noveltv, and 
the more so because anv little accidental derangement is of more 
importance when it takes place in a combination of complicated 
machinery than when the machine is working bv itseli". 
This Corn-screen is composed of a continuous coil elastic 
wire, wound round the iron bars of a skeleton drum. Near the 
npper end of the screen these bars are icsertetl, like a telescope, 
into hollow tubes, and are, therefore, capable of elonjation, 
■whereby the distance between each wire of the coil (in all but 
the head of the screen) can be increased. The screen can there- 
fore be made coarser or finer at pleasure. The idea is ingenious. 
The intervals between the wires were verv regular in the machine 
examinetl : but it is possible that if a laree grain of com gets 
fixed in any part of the cod, the harmony of the spaces may be 
4listarbed, and the action rendered defective.
