Notes on the Fair.
AGRICULTURAL 1APLExES1s-Br ruuns1oS.
| There has been on exhibition large and ez
cellent variety Of this class. Scarcely an inferio
machine WAS presented. Onr notes have alread,
been extended and Jet must necessarily omi
many valuable implements. The fair shouls
have held at least one half of another week Il
afford time for even hasty reriew.
| Ruggles, Nourse d Masou, Of Boston, were Re
presented by Mr. y. S. Davis Of n. II. He haf
variety Of useful aud interesting articles il
several departments Of mechanics. Amont
which was q most excellent Stump Extractor
and Hay Press.
There we're several one and two horse powc,
thrcshers; lots Of drills, seeding machines
apple-parers, and cider mills, rakes, forks, shor
els, etc.
Hooker i Jones, Of this city, made fine dis
play and honored the National Fair with fac
sinile Of the piano on which the gentle Priscil1a
used to play,
Emery 4 Co., also contributed largely of end.
less chain threshers, rollers and other leading
farm implements.
J.. u. Hosey, Of Austerlitz, n. T., also ex.
hiblted two horse thrcsher.
Wilmington's New Harvesting Machine threat
ems to knock the old style reapers, threshera
and fanning mills cut of all but remembrance
among us. His is a most ingenious combina.
tion. For poor mems sake and for the sake o!
poorer horse flesh We hope be will not push his
claims.
Adams l. Co., Of Sandwich, had fine
horse power shelter which is we'll worthy
Of attention. The feeding apparatus il 50
arranged that the car is prevented from
clogging. On either side of the revolving
plate is placed d flexible guard or plate,
which adapts itself to the different sizes Of ears,
| adording proper pressure By which the ear is
shelled in a manner unsurpassed by any other
machine. The rat< as it is termed, Is construct
ed Of No. wire; the plate is very durable, and
the whole thing is superior to any other with
Which We are acquainted.
CoRx PLANTERS, are exhibited in great variety
Of form and size, md attract small attention.
Among them the well known Browns Illinois
Corn Planter maintains its popularity. 1t
plants in IONS both ways, and rolls the ground,
crushing the clods in its path so as to form
firm friable soil for tue growth Of the young
plants.
HAIsEox's rHREsuER AND SEPARATOR
Mr.. Rice represents the Belmont Agricultural
works, and exhibits the above machine. It is d
strong, compact affair. The power is rc1y
simple connecting with the dsivc wheel in which
the pinion to the cylinder shaft works, also u
larger pinion to work the fan shall. 4 pinion
on the opposite end Of this shaft shakes the
upper and lower shoe. The thrcsAed grain falls
upon u sheet iron sieyc properly constructed for
c.rrying OF the chaff and allowing the grain
to fall through upon wire- sieve which sepa-
rates the foul stuff from the grain, md carries
the tailings OF at one side. Ths cleaned grain
>is eleTnted to IN upper fsnning mill where it Is
submitted to second publication and passes
cut On either side, at the will Of the managers,
through trough aud is received into measure
box or bag
Dy simple aud complete arrangement of the
gearing. tho tunabling rod may be attached at
either side or in front Of the machine. This is
point Of superiority possessed by but few
machines. It enables the horse power to he
moved when necessary, from side to side, With
out changing the position Of the separator.
There ase but two bands used on the whole ma
chine. 1t is remarkable for lis simplicity, COM
pactness, and from its general economy. We
also judge it may be obtained ut moderate
price. It is said to be quite extensively intro
duced into Western Illinois. where it is in high
esteem among th1eshe1s. The same firm are
manufacturing other agricultural Implements ut
Martens Ferry. Belmont County, Ohio.
uuRDIE FEscE.-Sevcral samples Of this kind
of fence Was on tho ground, scarcely eliciting
remark from the visitor. It is a shame to waste
lumber on this hurdle nonsense.
FARM GA7Es.-Two Of these, called selfact-
ing gnses, we're in constant operation and draw-
Ing crowds. onc was swing gate, operating
very nicely, but not desirable in windy day,
II would be difficult at such time to put it in
operation. The other xas double gate on
rollers, and not liable to this objection. II is
