the necessity for exterior springs to vehicles thus fitted is 
obviated. Vibration, also, is much reduced. The entire 
movement is adjusted by one nut, and secured by a lock nut. 
The contrivance can be applied to wheels of whatever weight. 
Article 3093. Mr. C. R. Whitmee, 279 and 281 York Road, 
Battersea, London, S.W. Manure Waggon. Price 501 . — While 
there is nothing absolutely new about this waggon, it is un- 
doubtedly well-made and calculated to be of valuable practical 
service. It is intended for the conveyance of offensive manures, 
offal, and town refuse. Patent steel covers close hermetically 
and prevent the escape of smell. These can be opened and closed 
again by the opei’ator standing upon the ground. The body is 
swung upon a strong frame by powerful steel hinges, and is so 
balanced that one man can tip the contents and easily restore it

locking bar. There is no complicated gearing. 
Article 3345. Mr. W. B. Lake , Braintree, Essex. Root 
Grater. Price 3?. 17s. 6d . — The feature of this very useful grater 
is that the teeth may be individually renewed when worn out. 
These teeth are made from cast steel and will cut easier and last 
longer than the old description, while, as arranged, it is impos- 
sible for them to be accidentally knocked out by stones or other 
obstructions. The arms of the wheel near the centre are worked 
away from the plate, thus enabling the teeth to be placed close 
to the spindle, which arrangement not only increases the capacity 
of the machine, but is also of great service in preventing roots 
from choking it.
