NEW YOEK STATE PAUL 
IMPROVED IMPLEMENTS, MACHINES, &c. 
THE recent State Pair at Elmira was a 
great success, as we stated last week, and its 
various departments are entitled to extend¬ 
ed notice. One of the best and most prom¬ 
inent features of the exhibition was the 
large and line display of Implements and 
Machinery. This department comprised 
many new and improved labor-saving inven¬ 
tions worthy of special mention and com¬ 
mendation, Regretting that we have not. 
space for a more detailed report, we sub¬ 
join notices of the most noteworthy ma¬ 
chines, implements and tools on exhibition- 
giving preference to such as are new or have 
been recently improved. 
Portable Steam Engine*. — The Batavia 
Steam Engine Co. exhibited their ten-liorse 
Monitor Portable Steam Engine in operation. 
A number of improvements have been made 
in this engine the past season under the per¬ 
sonal supervision of its inventor, Mr. C. E. 
Miller, late of Phelps, N. Y. L. Sweet of 
Wellsville, N. Y.—“ Iron Slave,” a new port¬ 
able engine for factory purposes. B. W. 
Paynk & Sons, Corning, N. Y.,—new Verti¬ 
cal Portable Engine for Farmers, Printers 
and Factorymen. This engine is simple and 
cheap, the price putting it within the reach 
of many who would otherwise bo deterred 
from buying. 
Pious ,—The largest show in this line w as 
made by the Ames Plow Co. of Boston, who 
had on exhibition an assortment of their 
“Sessions & Knox,” Steel and Iron, “Ea¬ 
gles,” “Hakes, Swivel,” &e. The new Char¬ 
ter Oak Swivel Plow, made by the Higuan um 
Manuf’g Co., Higganuru, Ct., (which we 
purpose to illustrate and describe hereafter) 
attracted great attention. The Gale Manu¬ 
facturing Co., Albion, Mich., exhibited, ba¬ 
the lirst time in this State, their chilled Iron 
Plows. They claim that the chilled iron by 
their process makes a perfect self-scourer. 
Their plows are simple in construction and 
easy of adjustment, Messrs. Gregg & Co., 
Trumansburgh, N. Y., exhibited the Osborn 
Sulky Plow, Improved this year by attaching 
a new lever for regulating depth of furrow. 
D. W. Ford, Oueonta, N. V., exhibited the 
Hodges Reversible Plow. Gifford, John¬ 
son & Co., Hudson, N. l,, showed a fine 
assortment — six sizes) of Wright’s Patent 
Cultivators. 
Ch ain Drills .—First in this line we notice 
the “ Farmers’ Favorite” entered by Bick¬ 
ford & Huffman, Maeedon, N. Y., but wo 
miss our genial friend, S. N, Uallcp, their 
General Agent, who was absent In Philadel¬ 
phia seeding the grounds of the Centennial 
Exhibition with one of liis well known drills. 
Johnson & Gere, Owego, N. Y., exhibited 
the “ Champion Grain Grill” with Fertilizer, 
Grass Seeder and Broadcast attachments, 
improved this year by adding a new patent 
hose shifter. The “Buckeye” (P. P, Mast 
& Co., Springfield. O.,) was shown up by C, 
R. Crain. Several valuable improvements 
have been made in the machine this year. 
They now change quantity of grain sown 
without, auy change of gear wheels ; also use 
a shifting feeder which is a positive force 
feed, and have an improvement in attaching 
the rubber tubes. 
Mowers and Reavers. —These were out in 
full force, making a very fine display. They 
were somewhat crowded for room. The 
Society gave them a very poor position on 
the grounds, and did not allow them suffi¬ 
cient space for au effective display. The 
“Buckeye” (Adrianck. Platt & Co.) made 
a fine show. The Bradley Mf’g Co., Syra¬ 
cuse, N. Y„ exhibited their new Changeable ! 
Speed Mower, and Bradley’s American Har- < 
vester. They have, as improvements for the 1 
year, a new device for taking up the lost 
motion in the pitman and cutter-bar heads, * 
aceompauied by a self-oiler In the knife head, 1 
preventing wear. Gregg & Co., Trumans- J 
burg, N. Y., exhibited their Meadow' King 1 
Mower. Johnston Harvester Co., Brock- 1 
port, N. Y,, made a good display of their cel¬ 
ebrated harvesters. Among their important 1 
improvements tor the year they have light* i 
ened their finger bar from 35 to 10 lbs., it i 
being stronger now than before. By a short i 
lever they throw their rake in and out of 1 
gear and by using a tightener their rake • 
chain is always kept taut ; they will use a c 
flat chaiu next year, They ha ve raised the s 
dividers and curb board for high grain, but t 
use it the same for low. D. M. Osborne & t. 
Co., Auburn, N. Y., having consolidated with i! 
the Cayuga Chief Co. of the same place, made t< 
a very large display of their mowers, reapers 
and combined machines. They have brought 
out an entirely new machine the past seasrn, 
known as the “Wheeler No. 6 .” This is a 
combined two-wheel machine, made with a 
wrought iron frame, using the Wheeler Self- 
Rake. Warrior Mower Co., Little Falls, 
N. Y., made » fine showing of their mowers 
and mower with dropper attachment. We 
missed their jolly Superintendent, Mr. Frank 
BHamer, who w as detained at home on ac¬ 
count of a fire lit their works, Sept. 30. We 
hibited Heebner’s new horse power gover¬ 
nor or speed regulator, which can be attached 
to any horse power. This is a simple little 
machine by which the speed of the horse 
power can be regulated at will. The Gold 
Medal Railway Horse Power and Thresher 
was shown up by our old friend Minard 
Harder of Cobbleskill, N. Y. Mr. Harder 
has improved his thresher this year by adding 
a straw-carrier. G. Westinghouse & Co., 
I Schenectady, N. Y., made a fine display,

their usual fine display. They have nearly hardened steel brushes, which is proof against

ish, and also added a long box for the New 
York trade. The “Conklin ” Wagon, made 
by W. H. & D. C. Conklin, Olean, N. Y., 
was on exhibition. This wagon is well made 
aud the manufacturers propose to show the

sion reach allowing any length for hay rack.

t en used very extensively in New England 
for some years past, and, from the accounts 
we hear, give good satisfaction.

of Utica, and Mr. Fields of Westchester 
dealers in implements and machinery, were 
around the grounds looking for new speci¬ 
alities.
