fed. The distributor consists of skeleton sheaves into which a 
series of movable cups are inserted. This revolves underneath 
the feeder, the manure falls into the cups, and these in revolution 
pass under a hinged door held in place by a spring. This door 
scrapes the face of the distributor sheave as it revolves, and 
after each section has passed this door it is opened with its 
bottom flush with the face of the distributor sheave, and while 
in this position it passes over a steel scraper which cleans each 
cup in succession. This drill was tried in the timber-yard, first 
with damp soil, and afterwards with damp superphosphate. Both 
the cups and the reciprocating feed slide worked clean. On the 
bare ground each separate cupful could be clearly distinguished, 
the intervals being a few inches in length. With such materials 
it was not to be expected that an even stream could be delivered,

and to work, as this drill did, without clogging, the Judges con- 
sidered highly creditable. 
Article 2930. T. A. Wynne Edwards, The Foundry, Denbigh. 
Hay Press, Woodville’s Patent Double Back, price 1 61 . — This 
(fig. 9) is a compact, strong, handy press, at a moderate price, and 
goes far to meet a growing demand for machines of this descrip- 
tion. It is mounted on three wheels for transport, and can be 
drawn by hand to any part of the yard as required. The wheels 
are not removed when the machine is at work. It is only neces- 
sary to rear it up, as shown in the figure, over the hind wheels, 
and it stands on these and the two front legs, which are bolted 
to the frame. No chains are used in connection with the 
pressure, and springs are entirely avoided so far as the working 
is concerned.
