THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

LEWES, WIDICISDAT EVVNINO.
In Immature with previous arrangement', the
skew-yard was this day opt neat to the public. The imples
mere- -• . N••11,1,..,1 front an early hour in the meriting,
thou.. t ass vr.l of prir s war not remplereg till en al.
•311 C. ti pv r,•sl el the of•• rionnt. The elbibition is in a
assber,iof the town C 4 :11d Lewes being iniuteil
on an • • ,ne,, which cioninands • prospect of the Moans
on wte s;ile and of varied scenery in other iiinctione, the
al ow ism in • valley between the borough arid the
llowi s. A vast stmt of groundia crowded with
whines rf every description for agricultural put,
poses, so that days might be profitably eniphiyel in the
work .if inspection. It would be too much to expect no-
velty Indeed novelty, unless utility kept full pace with it,
would he anything but • merit. The motto of the society is
"Soignee with practice," and the proper rendering of the
word science, as applied to agricultural implements, is
not ingenuity, but practicability and economy. This is the
quest iou which the judge have to resolve ; and it is impos-
sible too highly to commend the seal which they have die
played in performing the arduous task allotied to them.
For some days they have been engaged almost incessantly,
and with the most scrupulous and conwientious induetry,
in testing the merits of the various implements which have
come under their notice ; and no jury appointed to conduct
the met delicate investigation could evince greater satiety
to arrive at proper dcci•ions.
It would be impossible to comprise within reasonable
limits all or a tithe of the important machines now
being exhibited at Lewes. The catalogue is extremely
bulky ; and its appearance forbids anything like an attempt
at analysis. It must suffice to glance at some of the more
important, because the must generally applicable, im-
plements included in the collection. First, with re'
geed 113 the reaping machines. There is on this occasion
peat competition, and much variety, in that department.
lii•Cormick's and ilussey's machines have been so often
described that it would be wenn to notice their history or
their peculiarity of design. Both, however, have sada-
gone recent improvements of great practical immobilise W
agriculturists ; and the most persevering efforts have bees
made to remedy defects and obviate objections; English
machinists having given the last touches to tremettlande
inventiens. Mr. Samuelson, of Banbury, eablhas •
sneFittne, on M•Cormick's principle, which bee bees ea
'muted, with much interest. The noticeable foams me,
that the fingers are more pointed and narrower than the
used • few months back ; that the sickle, or cutter, is
sag. instead of straight; and that the reel to which the
fispie rs are attached, may be contracted or lenghtened,
so as to suit different kinds of grain. On the other
bawl. there is a machine, on the Hussey plan, exhibited
by Mr li.urett. In which there are material alterations.
'1 he utters. for essniplo, instead of being bevelled on both
aides, like a common axe, and thus having the effect of
the ..teas and pulling it off instead of cutting it,
ere bevelled on me side only, so as to acquire increased faci-
lity nod precision in cutting crops of different kinds.
Amongst the reaping machines was a new one invented by
Mr. Meson, of suffolk. The principle of construction
adolite.l in this case is novel; the knives having a rotary
motion, and tiring worked by attains in COolli.lloll with the
gearwork and travelling wheel. This machine has been
trod un rye, and rumour rays with success. What strikes
one coo-t in its operation is the great force with which the
knives are propelled. Fowler's draining plough was at
work during a portion of yesterday. its merits are well
known ; it seems ps culiarly adapted fur light suits, and one
of its greatest recommendations is the economy with which
it can be worked. The firm of Itartionn and Company,
of liteivich. had a remarkably good display. They
have olrained the prize for what is termed the "tun-
wrest plough," an implement which, through the shifting
of th, bindle, sans the time commonly occupied in turning
round the plough. It has now been in use for about nine
years, and its merits are becoming appreciated by the whole
body of agriculturists. Its advantages are indeed obvious
Amontst the atticles of acknowledged utility are some good
speriniens of wrought iron rick stands; • 3 cwt. weighing
machine, invented and manufactured by Day and Co., of
Birmingham, and which obtained high commendation from
the Judges, being considered the best ineslime of that de-
scription ; and a variety of threshftg relies& One of
the most useful novelties is an int Ismitsbeet •arread
machine, constructed on the principle of • sled amber, he
really designed to throw out weeds. It is a very light ire-
pkmt nt. requires remarkably little power to conduct it, and
its price, which is 21 is. Gd., will probably help. to bring
it into extensive use. A lighter or prettier Implants%
there could not be. A set of well-machinery attracted •
good deal of notice, and was much admired for the com-
pleteness of its ezeention, and the ease with which it is
work, J. It is not sorrel, having obtained a silver medal at
South impious in 11441; and itsg eeeee I applicability, without
reference to depth, may be open to question. In the article
of churns, there is a most tasteful and useful little machine,
invennel by Mr. Itrusamond, of I'ertb. It was included it
the collection at the Great Exhibition, and ro numerate
were its admirers, that upwards of 12,000 were ordered in
the eryetal Palace. Its action is light and rapid; the price
for I ',llan. is 21. is. There is a good collection of mete,
which threaten to drive the cumbersome waggon out of the
field. 01 the latter article we saw only one, and that ems
was more than sufficient.
In Mr. Cromkill's stand there was • Newcastle model
one leitee plank eart and harvest cart, which obtained the
prise at the Newcastle meeting ; and there were other arta
of a similar description, at once light, capacious, and
sightly. In all there is a vast amount of shelving ready M
case of need, and no purpose served by the heavy lumbering
old waggon seems unprovided for. The relative superiority
of carts to waggons has now been demonstrated both theo-
retically and pent wily ; and probably the ram of waggon*
is doomed to speedy extinction. Mr. Puny, in the Journal
of the Royal Agneultual Society, has shown the saving
effected in horses and horse-keep by the substitution eff
carts for waggons, and the strong necessity for coommigit
order to the attainment of satistactory results is eallmis
the lemon.

Of the implement show generally it is no exaggeration to
my that it is highly creditable to the exhibitors, and
'trona!, indicative of general improvement. Admitting
that it is more remarkable for amount than for novelty,
that is ns deduction from the grounds for satisfaction.
Merl) to amplify the range of ingenuity would be worse
than useless; what is wanted is to familiarise aroma with
chest, practicable, and beneficial processes, and to show
them : ow far they have a pecuniary interest in their adop.
tion . soil this is the end which the exhibitors on this °cat-
ion apticAr to have kept in view.
The cattle.yard was opened to the public at 1 o'clock
and si:is visited. amongst others, by the Duke of Cleveland
Earl Dude, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of Carlisle,
the E irl of Sheffield, Earl Talbot, Lord Rer•ers, Sir John
Tyrell, Mr. Round, Captain Fitzroy, Mr. Langston.
Though in some respects different from previous shows,
owing in a great degree to geographical causes, the present
one, may be said to be worthy of the character of the
society. Amongst the short.horas, the females are of •
*opener description, and excel the males. Their general
qualities elicited the marked approbation of judges. The
first prize of 401. was gained, as will be perceived from the
subjoined list, by Mr. Thome' Chriap, of Northumberland.
The Herefords presented no remarkable feature ; and the
same will remark will apply to the Devons. The Sussex
hoses for agricultural purposes were exceedingly fine.
animals, and if there be nothing new in them, there is at
least no deterioration. The exhibition of pigs also wee sa-
tisfactory ; and the hot weather has left several of them In
the/ull enjoyment of superabundant fat. In the sheep de•
pertinent the exhibition of Southdowns is highly creditable
to their native county. Through following up hi past
principles, Mr. Jonas Webb, of Cambridgeshire, gained the
first prize of VC for shearling rams, and the second of 141.
in the same clam.
The number of visitors t..day has not been so large as
it may fairly be expected to be during the next two days,
the cad} ef admission being so regulated as to make the
first Istria rather select than numerous. Great expecta-
nces are entertained by the townspeople, and the aceom-
'iodation is extremely ample. The booths in the vicinity
of the show-yard exhibit • gigantic display of provender
and of arii.king utensils, and all are prepared fir an sal.
matid Krim under the operation of cheap fares and • mo-
derate rate of admission.
