Valuable Improrsmsn'.--A machine
for making shingles was invented few
years since, by Willard Earle, of Athol,
of this county, which he has so far i'm
proved that it bids fair. soon to entirely
supersede the present mode. The ma
chinery. which is propelled by water,
is easily kept in repair, and may be
managed by boys. as no part ofthe work
is labourious B, il one person will ca
silly make 5000 shingles per day. But
the greatest advantage to be derived
from this improvement, consist in the
better quality Of the work, and in the
great saving Of timber. The shingles
made by these machines are all an uni
form thickness, and made so perfectly
true, that man will lay at least a t'ird
more per day than Of the common kind,
| and the work, when done is better and
more uniform. We understand that or
binary lot of timber will make twice
as many shingles IN this. as in the COM
mon way, and there being no waste
made. and timber, which cannot be
worked in the old way, such as bass
wood, pine that will not split, &c. may
be wrought by these machines to equal
advantage with the best of timber.
single machine requires less than a
fourth part of the power usually applied
to grist mill.
The inventor has taken patent for
his Improvement, and, we are informed,
has orders for machines faster than he
can supply them. A considerable num-
Der are in operation, and give universal
satisfaction.
