In old countries the high price OF land, and s being
psr.i,iored in email lots make cultivation on lars'
scale hey oud the power Of individuals. Oar Wes'eu
prairies peculiarly Sdap:ed for the Introduction o.
new methods, and extending the use OF sesm 2oSerca
farms is Il step in the right direcaon. The Company
bave on e1hbitior portable steam boiler portable
steam engine, ana two steam cross The boiler
Of about eighshorse power, is oval shaped cyho-
der of little more than three feet average diameter
and about eish, feet long, with aues. The CRATE
!, a. the back; above is small cylinder, used as .
steam reservoir the chimney Il over the CRATE, twelve
fee. in bich,, snd may be lowered on the boiler 70
avoid tho obstruction of branches. The boiler Is
red on two arge wheels With iron rim ard ~re tires
The axle passes through the center of the boiler the
horse-po. is brsced to the front part of the boiler by
bars oi iron. The weight and cost Of frame are thus
dsper ed With, and the only way Of making hgtteS
boiler would be 20 make il tubular. Tae steam CO.
gpe consists of square frame, carried on tso Wheels
against OF tide OF which is fastened horizontal
| steam cylrder oscilatipg on fulcrum at It's basis
The pi.ton.rod is attached TO a crank-pa on ny
wheel on which ID also belt pulley. To avoid iric-
ton in the s,ucs boz, side OF tho cylinder Is sS-
tended as slide guide for the head OF the pssonrod
| The valves are moved in very simple manner, BY
making use OF The cyllhder oscillations.
There are two eross-saws Of similar model, but ct
diff, rent size They superior to two similar mstra'
mtnts that we described Z short time ago. The whole
| is attached to a SQUARE beam of fve-inch ldes and
ten feet in length Al end of it is large iron hook
for encrc'ipg the tree which is to be cut down. The
other end res.s the ground. An oscaiing cylinder
,misr TO the one above described has its fucrum on
the beam, when the other end may be moved from
| by means OF rack and pinion Tue say is strongly
fastened at the end of the pistonrod Al the begin
ming OF the operation the has ITS back against the
beam, where it's mott is directed by guide whom
of tie rack and pinon; then gets out Of the guide
and the wood acts SUCH Since the cyhnier recedes
from the frame the process above mentioned for NOV
irc the valve cannot be used. In this twisted
fla rod, parable. to the cylinder is attached 10 the
head OF the pistosrod this flat rod passes throughs
circular disc which lie fres to rotate n box Fastened
on the eide OF the cylinder the twist Of the hst rcd
make, the d.c rotate at each end of the stroke, and
this piece being connected with the valves they ass
are nut in notion 1t is clear that after the tree cut
down the same machine will be used for cutting oil the
large branches and to divide the trunk in logs o. the
| required length.
Crossssws for cutting trees are in general WORKED
BY two men--.hst 10 the equivalent Of quarter Of
horse power. It seem, 10 US that applying to two
horse power vii be sufficient progress for begin
ming The boiler and the cylinder exhibited are Tor
eight horses We should suggest that for this service
they be sde smaller. The quantity of fuel used Is not
in this cue 10 DO takeo into account; the portability
Of the machine and the quantity of water used are the
| main points.
PuMp..-rhe peculiar feature Of the exhibition =
this department is the large number Of steampumps
The loss OF the Arctic and the more recent catastrophe
| of the Central America both Of which would have
been saved by few good stesmpumps, show that the
efforts Of makers aud inventors have been well direct
| cd. o. pumps without steam sppeniage there are
few. Cary's rotary pump well known and very efh-
Gent TO rsise economically large Quantities OF clean
water Towers patent consists Of two cylinders the
| pston.rods OF which attached to the ends Of
| working BEAM this beam rests on stand placed b.
tween the two pumps this stand is hollow, aud Is used
ss IN air .prDg called usually anair reservoir. Vests
dock pump has cylinder; the fdcrum OF the lever
il or the cad OF vertical rod the lower end Of which
is movable on fulcrum; this allows straight motion
for the pis.onrod, which Is fast on the piston.

cone with four prcjectisg blaees or paddles rotating
very fas IN box OF similar shape Wster Is iofced
M the siies By centrifugal force. This machine sood
for raising large quantities Of clean or muddy water
| few feet high where power is no confederation The
exhibitor had he unlucky idea OF dis ,hargng through
a fupnelshsped pipe, which stwo inches at ono end
and s.1 inches at the opening thus seems to throw

standing by are in esstscy the pss.or the word
"humbUg"
OF s.esm.pumps there sre fve They are Intended
for feeding boilers for FIRE engines and for bge punps
WoytkngtoE's Pump consists Of two horzoata
cylinders. the axe. of which are On the straight
lre; one cylinder 10 for steam the other, of smaller
.ize, for water There ia one pistOn-rOd in common
