Report  on  the  Exhibition  of  Implements 
ground.  All  the  working  parts  of  this  engine  are  brought  so 
low  that  they  are  easily  reached,  oiled,  and  adjusted  from  the 
ground  ; indeed  we  were  so  pleased  with  its  strength  and  port- 
ability, being  a light  load  for  two  horses,  and  thinking  it  so 
suitable  to  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  designed,  that  had  it 
not  been  for  the  superior  duty  done  by  the  larger  boilers  of  the 
prize  engines  (though  in  economy  of  time  and  coal  used  in 
getting  up  steam  this  engine  excelled  them  both)  we  should 
have  placed  it  in  the  front  rank,  but  can  only  now  highly 
commend.

Judges'  Report  of  Threshing-Machines. — We  have  to  report  that 
the  Machines  exhibited  at  this  meeting  were  many  of  them  much 
improved  in  workmanship  and  in  lightness  of  draught,  as  will  be 
seen  by  comparing  the  following  Table  with  the  results  of  last 
year. 
We  hope  that  the  above  tabular  statements,  showing  the  results 
of  the  threshing-machines,  are  so  far  complete  that  they  will  be 
understood  without  any  further  explanation.  The  public,  how- 
ever, must  not  place  reliance  on  the  column  of  prices,  as  some 
exhibitors  include  many  necessaries  that  others  do  not  include  ; 
and  as  the  cost  of  an  implement  influences  the  judges  in  their 
decisions,  we  hope  the  Society  will  in  future  require  a com- 
plete detail  of  articles  furnished  for  the  price  entered  in  the 
catalogue.  We  beg  to  call  the  attention  of  those  exhibitors  who 
use  close  drums,  with  the  beaters  in  some  instances  not  projecting 
more  than  half  an  inch.  We  are  afraid  that  machines  so  con- 
structed are  very  likely  to  be  broken  by  stones  or  sticks  passing 
between  the  drum  and  the  concave.  We  consider  it  a great  re- 
flection on  the  agricultural  interest,  that  while  machinery,  in
