184 Miscellaneous Implements Exhibited at Newcastle , 1908. 
No. 1416. — Fastener to Top of Churn. — Exhibited by 
Waide & Sons, Leeds. This was a kind of lever to pull past 
the centre and remain fixed ; similar to what has been pre- 
viously applied to dog-cart doors, &c. 
No. 1494. — Cream Separator. — Exhibited by the Dairy 
Supply Company, Ltd., London. The novelty claimed for 
this was in the construction of the discs, which had holes in 
them, allowing the milk to pass through more rapidly. It was 
said to increase the capacity from 440 to 660 gallons. 
No. 1496. — Milk Strainer. — By the same exhibitors. This 
was a milk strainer so constructed that by placing a linen bag 
over it in a certain way and pressing down the upper part, a 
larger straining surface was obtained than would otherwise . 
be possible, thereby getting the milk through the strainer 
more rapidly. 
No. 2007. — Cultivator. — By Martin’s Cultivator Company, 
Stamford. A similar spring-tined cultivator to their well- 
known make, but smaller in size and suitable for small 
holders. 
No. 2008.; — Molasses Mixer. — By the last-named firm. This 
was a machine for mixing molasses with chaff in certain 
quantities as desired. There is a hopper to hold the chaff, 
with a revolving pronged spindle at the bottom to force 
it through an aperture, and as the chaff passes this a roller 
the full width of the machine carries over the molasses from 
a trough in which it runs, pressing it against the chaff as it 
is being delivered by the prongs inside the chaff hopper. 
The amount to be mixed with the chaff is regulated by an 
adjustable scraper on the face side of the roller bringing up 
the molasses. The idea is novel and good, but the output of 
the machine was much too slow. 
No. 2035. — Pole Point and Carrier for Binder or Reaper 
Poles. — Exhibited by J. & H. Keyworth & Co., Liverpool. 
This was a contrivance to fix to a reaper or binder pole to take 
the weight of the machine off the horses’ necks and collars so 
that the animals could move more freely. In the opinion of 
the Judges it was not of much advantage, as, generally 
speaking, all binders and reapers are nearly balanced, or ought 
to be, when at work. 
No. 3881. — Lamp Pump. — Exhibited by the Lamp Pump 
Syndicate, Ltd., Carey Street, Westminster. This is a small 
pump — to be worked at a low pressure — for pumping water 
from shallow wells. It is of a novel and very interesting kind, 
being worked by a small Wells burner consuming about one 
pint of paraffin per hour. The pump itself takes up a small 
space, and requires very little fixing other than connecting up 
with the suction and delivery pipes.
