OF course shall not specify ALL or any considerable
part Of the vaiusb stock tools FIR rme in the
exhibition, but do wish TO call their atertio to afsw
d iDgs that have accidentally fallen under my notice
in passing through Mechanics Hail.
As ] baye slready stared, the great barre[makng
machine is not only the mot attractive but the most
important 20 farmers, because its results reach every
family. II IL capable, with the attendance OF six men
10 attend the machines and 10 set and hoop OF
taking the stuff from the log and delivering one hun
dr. d -four barrels per day.
Among the pows exhibited there is an improved
Michigan plow.' Tho Improvement consists IN put
tbe forward share upon Short crooked iron beam,
and general Strengthening Of the par j thok vel
OF the Improvement, az awass have of the original.

There IL iron gong pillow, with wheels, that must
be a very valuable tool for blowing in wheat
Wards corn. planter, calculated to drop aud cover
two at time, al even distances between hills, is
agO0d machiDe.
Stodard's hand corn. planter is another valuable i'm
provenent. A man holds staff in one hand, to the
bottom of which s attached box, and every time he
down bis staff be deposits six grains OF 90 n In elk
eeuois,ant places, inch below the surface. II ID
ntbt cheap and durable, weighs Blk pounds, and cosie
IS, which If - too much.
am more ard moro pleased with Wheelcrs i'm
provemens in the moving aud reaping-mgchine
have coub that the arrangement Of his knives will
work easier than any other machine, and cannot sse
any why it will not wet grass as well as dry
and il will stop and start without backing. There
nohng TO bach for, az 1t cannot clog 90 far a. can
Bee.
The cutter bar is attached to the driving franc, by
joint that If theDut OF strikes stone II sill ride
Then Of the three wheels is castor, which
ril friction in side drsft. 1t is new machine
that Ia worth tie attention Of faImeIs.
Among other useful things for tho farmers arc two
farm gat that be opened without stopping tue
waeOt. One OF them falls as the wagon approaches
and touches spring, with the sais between rails on
rho ground. The whoels touch another sprin as they
sve the spot and the gate rises TO it's place. l, rs
good dry weather gate, but what about 1t when the
grsuId il covered with snow
AJonoI gate opens 10y touching hapde on post
JOu approach and closes by touching another on the
OF side. OF cours both Of these, well as Wood
yu9 patent work by Weights, with different modes Of
attachment The advaI tagc OF this one 10 that the a.
saotmeni can BIO put upon any gate in uso.
Another thing well worth the attention " town and
atty is Fosdi,k 3 eoro pipe, very stroug and cheap
article, glazed on the inside with vr!hod sand. IL
will convey water ~ pure as though IN glass. The
cOet s 10 % Is foot and size ono TO four iocheS.
II sbuld take the place Of lead pipe.
There is also tfs- machine that is calculated for
fafm Hsc. With some little Improvement it m-y be
SouI valuable. Bot tho most curious Of all the iru-
machines exhibited ia TO- shearlng she0. There
Is mistake about this machines it can ana docs do
the work admirably, ten times iastCf than the best
shearer and with scarcely possibility Of cutting the
sheep. Every wool grower cOmmends it highly.
Among the articles for improving tue comfort OF all
bOus, wives bCTo an alright door bedstead that
can be folded ny in minute without uucording, 60
rs 10 move TO another room; and another bedsteai
that can be wOsnd NJ and set for Gu alarum OF q
given kour, and then if The sleepy boy does not get
Mp, be after tuubled cut OF bed coromony.
1t will be very convenient for Inen who must got W al

There are some most beautiful specimens of orna
men'ed wire-work cause converted iuto variety Of
asefh household ardcles. Some of the cloth Is hne
fine enough for a lady handkerchief
Gooc oppe pairing and slicing machine psreS
cores ard cuts The apphs one enough for pics. The
plan OF slicirg is entirely neH.
In my opinion the most Interesting part Of all this
exhibition is In lbl that the alter lou which all i'm
prov.menis in labor-ssvipg mnoDneTy receive from
all classes s tho best evidence that the people ne veil
M the machines arc mpiOVing with rapidity never
before Witnessed
