NEW IMPROVEMENTS IN AGRIcULTuRtL hPLE1EFrs.
Under this head come the most important matters
fof me 70 notice because much the largest nnmber OF
people Who will read thee letters deeply inter-
ested in whatever will facilitate the cultivation Of the
earth OF gathering Of crops:
OF moving machines and reapers, the new forms are
nunerous--I wish could say tbst all of them were
rovemenis--buf cannot. Among Others Ketchun
shows machine that he thinks n very much simph'
fed and il IL evidently lessened in liz ccst-to the
msker-not 10 tbs farmer. The high price and enor'
nous profit demanded for mowers and reapers IL an
act Of injustice 10 the purchasers. am told that the
patent fees going TO M6nnys widow this year are
largely over 100000 Mccormick, Howard, and
the manufacturers Of MaDDys machines and perhaps
dozen others, ere each making more money than
dozen farmers rome Of them already prnceiy men
Dolph's Improvement, which enables the operator
OF machine 10 control the cutter ,ar, good one.
He can shift IL 70 cut high low, or Tun over st0ne
ON very uneven ground, at his instant pleasure IL
attached 10 the Ohio Mower, which - altogether
very well coDtrved machine.
There il q ope.hOrte nscbiDe exhibited, pstenAd
BY Siodard Fredonis, n Y, the cutting principle VI
which is that Of the common shears, the handles Of
the blades being moved By small CAMS II this plan
Of cutting proves successful il will prove good what
was universally condemned when tried thirty years
ago.
To my notion, the most simple and most improved
mower-ond mowers are Of far more importance than
re9pers-is the moving machine In proved by A.
Patchen, West6ed, n. Y. IL has less gearing and
machinery TO get out Of order than any other, and u
hos some things that others have not. Its Improve
mebts are certainly worthy Of the notice Of fsrners
II is probably true also, OF several other machines
for the whole clsss are undergoing constant alter1
tiops, some Of which will prove valuable.
To 90 from mowers and reapers to cradles which
acknowledge is a sort of retrOgrade motion, but he
cessary one sometimes, here is cradle made by
James Van Ness, Of LivOna, that is a most cecidi
iupIovem ent upon any other ever saw. The scythe
ia attached TO the bow Chat suppor1 by iron brace
the fngers, and that Is Of the size of snath, and
taken IN the right hand az hardie, while the let
hand holds the enafh, which rs only shOlt piece al
Tackled TO the bow.
The same man has slso very good improvement
upon the revolving horse rake.
Blipkerhoof L. Co., of Buffalo, have a fine assert
meDt Of pOws. Upon ore Of them is an attachment
that will almost if not wholly, prevent stubbe, grass
and weeds from coggiDg under the beam. On the up
per pat Ct the cOrlter cOncel wheel ia placed SO
that everything that urs up the coulter Is instantly
wheeled off toward the furrow.
The attachment of little share behind common
pillow, TO act as a subso plow, which understand
they have patented, invented and used at Norfolk
Va ten Yeas ago. 1t IL good thing for situa
tons and easily attached by anybody and l guess
The patent is not much of bar to it's use.
Henry A. Dyer, Secretary OF the Connecticut State
AZ ricuural Society has erected here model OF
machine Of full operating size, by which any animal
can draw its water out OF well. Its operation
ie very much sdmiied.
There is a specimen of movable fence that is well
five inches wide nailed upon three batens in pannelS,
and used without posts, by merely setting the ends OF
the paDnes together, and locking them with wooden
or iron clamp II makes crooked, but strong cbesp
fence. 1t is the best kind Of portable fence that
know Of
Ssyre d Remington, Of Utica show some new fash
Toned cuvator teeth, that are an improvement upon
any heretofore made being all steel, shank and all,
which is round aud held from turning in the hole by
little dog Of maeabe iron under the beam. They also
show q very nice horse Doe, with steel shares.
Hildreths iron frame gang p)ow has an attachment
that drops wheat to be covered by every share that
will make fair substitute for drilling wheat. 1t is
very much liked by those who notice it, and il has
taken several prizes as good, new implement.
There are several other gang pows, and numerous
grain and seed drills ard planters but the most
imporisnt Of ell the family Of planters ever ID
vented is entirely cOnrivance. not yet PATENT
edin fact this is the first perfect machine ever built
invented by landlord IDgraham, of Naples, Ontario
County poor sickly man, who was not able to get
up machine for exhibition, and this one was made
aud brought here by of his neghbors who had
tlod II, DIR. S. H. Sutton, more than anything else to
to it, am cure they will give it most honorable
notice end premium. IFS great value IS It's grea,
simplicity Ggbtress, cheap1efs and durability. There
gearing and but very little machinery and 1t is
mostly made of wood, and YET will drop in hills or
drills with the seeCs rows lust as tar apart as the
o,el stor destes is drawn by one horse; 1t can be
held by a boy twelve years old. or carried upon his
souloer II is the plus ultra of all corn planters. II
is composed of pair OF tbls, bar anu handles
hke plow The hind eId of the thills rest upon bent
pieces of iron few inches from the slound The seed
boxes are attached 10 the ED Of the thillS, and
spIrg tide that drops the greiDs whenever opened
with unerirg certsinIy is opened wherever desired
by slight pressure Of The night hand fingers upon
key unoer the handle. WHICH gives motion to the
diopper by small iron roo The whole operation is
rs simple as open and shut, for that is simply the
whole operation.
In making known TO the readers OF THE TR,BUrE
this sngle new invention Of planter, it OF more
value TO them than the coat of their entire subscrip
tion for year. To be able to do it, makes mo gla1
