480 Miscellaneous Implements Exhibited at Cambndrje. 
Articles 3498 & 3499 . Messrs. Freeth & Pocock, Wandsworth 
Hoad, London, S.W. The Empress Cream Separators for Hand 
and Steam Power. Price oOl. and 6ol . — The same principles are 
employed in the construction of these two separators ; the differ- 
ence lies in the amount of production. The hand-power machine 
separates about 70 gallons per hour, the machine for steam 350 
gallons in the same time. The revolving drum or bowl which 
separates the cream is so constructed that the quantity of milk 
passing through is claimed to be enormously increased without 
necessitating the use of removable trays. It is provided with 
an aluminium cylinder pierced by over a thousand holes, and 
resembling a honeycomb of circular form. Each of the holes or 
cells is said to act as an independent separator, and thus the 
efficiency of the complete separator is stated to be greatly 
increased. 
Article 3915 . Weldless Chain Co., Ltd., St. Helens, Lan- 
cashire. Steel Weldless Agricultural Chains. — These weldless 
chains possess a greater amount of strength in proportion to 
their weight than those in ordinary use. They are an American 
product, and tests are reported to have proved them, upon an 
average, twice as strong, for each corresponding size, as the 
English welded chain, five times as strong as the double jack 
chain, and eleven times as strong as the single jack chain. In 
every trial they are reported to have given way in the material 
itself, and not, as in the case of the jack and welded chains, at 
the joints. 
Article 5122 . Messrs. Blackstone & Co., Ltd., Stamford. 
Fly Brush or Dresser. Price 81 . — This implement, invented and 
patented by Messrs. D. J. Smith and C. Flink, appears to be 
decidedly useful and to do its work well. It consists (fig. 10) of 
a water-cart (to be drawn by a horse) which contains about 
35 gallons. Its axles are made to telescope so that the wheels 
may be regulated to different widths apart, enabling the cart to 
run between the rows and clear the crop. A brushing apron of 
coarse canvas, about 20 feet from end to end, and capable of 
adjustment to the height of the crop, is attached to the rear of the 
machine. When at work the apron extends beyond the wheels, 
but it may be folded to the width of the machine for passing 
through gateways. Above, and fixed the entire length of the 
apron, is a perforated pipe, from which the insecticide solution 
from the circular tank runs down upon the apron, the supply of 
liquid being regulated by a cock within the driver’s reach. As 
the apron passes over the crop across the drills, it brushes the 
under side of the leaf, where the fly is usually found, depositing 
the solution at the same time, and effecting the destruction of
