Among The many articles exhibited at the State
Fair, few were brought under our immeJate
attention AID We made notes of the following
Dana's Inprored Ciaiiraior-C. II. Dana &
Co. proprieiors Yves, Lebanon, n. u. This is
the simplest thing in the world, aud yet promises
to be more important to the farmers Of the
country than even McCormicks world renowned
reaper. BY the attachment Of pair Of iron
plates 10 the common Culiiyator, with few set
screws 90 adjust the Hill to any desired guage.
the farmer has a machine which will thoroughly,
evenly and handsomely hWhis crops whenever he
puts through the cultyatoi to eradicate the weeds
Mr.. Dana has used it the past season on four
acre lot of corn and potatoes, and the crops pro-
duced tgithout hosing at all, were superior. We
never saw finer corn than that selected by Mr. d.
from his field and exhibited at the FAR The
invention is highly useful aud the improvement
at 50 per cultiyaior will pay an excellent profit
to the manufactured Although Mt. Dana halls
from another state, we are glad to see that
premium was awarded 10 him
Bee Hires- Clark Wheeler, proprietor Little
Valley, Cattaraugus County, NY. To the sigh,
this IS very plain, unpretending, and very cheap
hiye--yet the exhibitor claimed for it virtues of
the highest order in its simple arrangements for
storing honey, removing unhealthy swarms, colo
nizng or dividing svarms, feeding and Wintering
the bees, separating the drones from the working
bees and expelhng them, and finally in expelling
moths and keeping the hive clean and IN trim
order. All TN. cannot be explained without dia-
grams, Of course. Suffice il to say, that the hive
is a rectangular case, fitted with pedan, boxes
for the bees to work and feed in. drawers IN
which to deposit the honey for market, movoa-
bic bottom, and all the necessary arrangements
to give or cut off access from box 10 box or box
to drawers, thus giving the apiarian complete
control Of his busy workmen. We do not know
enough about the business to give any opinion
as to tho value Of this hive over others but we
say to the aPanan don't despise Clark Wheel
ers hive because 1t appears to be a very plain
and very cheap box The simplest and cheap
est things are the very 5est, If they 40 but fulfill
faithfully their office.
.Noreisnd's .uoricing Machine. Moreland Il
Nixon, Adrian, Michigan. This Machine was
exhibited by Mr.. II. H. Dean, and be made 1t
speak for itself, through hub swiftly moriced
IN the mos, complete and exact style. The ma
chine on hub work viii do the work of at least
twenty men per day, and more perfectly than hu-
man hands can ever do il and wiihal it can be
easily adjusted to do morticing and boring Of
every kind Practical men in the business award
ed the machine the highest praise and the MI
chigander walked off with premium.
Flour. Montpelier was well represented at
the Fair. Barrels Of Extra Superiine Family
Flour, from the establishments of Messrs Bur
bank & Langdon, and Messrs. Bancroft, Hyde
d Co, attracted attention. The flour vas *
cellent, from each establishment, and as much
alike as the SiamesS Twins. The barrels were
fine specimens of mechanical skill, and the flour
such as to do credit to the Mills and the MilleTs
of both establishments. X

RoBINsoN's Lyon PLOw.-In looking over

and cultlyators, from out of the State, were on
exhibition. But of All The piows manufactured
