A new candidate for favor Is Cincinnati
machine, made by j. r. Burdge, whose sale
| rooms are at No. 247 West Eighth-street,
between Plum and Central-aveuue. 1t has
| two threads, and makes firm stitch, alike
on both Sides il besides, hens, gathers,
! tucks and frills, rapidly and artistically. 1t
I sews equally well on thick and thin goods,
and is as noiseless rs any machine we know
of. Read advertisement in another column.
Hoore's Double Lock-shtch Se,OiRg- No
| chines.-The amount of inventive genius
which is concentrated on sewing-maohines
is such that great Improvements must fol-
low, and the true line of improvement is
toward more simplicity and cheapuess,
Moore's machine is sold at $50 in plain and
handsome shape. The agent exhibits one on
the ground in superb ornamental case; also
| a case of specimen work, consisting Of a
| child's dress and various other articles of
fine workmanship. The agent claims for it
simplicity and durability, a strong elastic
and durable lock-stitch, worked from two
spools without rewinding, and running with
great ease and little noise; also that it can
| not be run backward, does not break needles
| and be run with very little instruction. The
| machine is a handsome piece of mechanism,
| and the specimens Of work are well worthy
of inspection. H. G. Burtman, 90 West
Fourth-street is the sole agent for these
machines.
West g. Wilson's Seping- -Machines.-This is
an Ohio invention, from Elyrls OH the Re-
serve and claims TO be creditable repre-
sentative of Ohio genius. 1t works with a
needle feed that is the motion of the
needle shoves the fabric along with precision
and certainty TO the regulated distances. 1t
is simple and pretends to sew any fab
ric from leather to thin paper. 1t is made
by the West & Wilson Manufacturing Com
pany, of Eyria, and is exhibited by II. B.
Bullock, Agent.
APIAMEs-KELsEYs BEEHIVE. '
production which is almost spontaneous
that is, it is produced with but little human
labor, is SO scarce and dear as to be beyond
the reach of the mass of the people. This
can be attributed to nothing else than ig-
norance of the management of bees. It will
be found that all the skill aud observation of
the farmer in regard to his bees have usually
resulted in no greater progress than in soma
knsck about hivng the new swarms. Some
times he finds that his bees are not doing
well. One swarm after another dies out
and he concludes that bees do not do well in
that neighborhood, and makes no further
effort.
Mr.. Albert Kelsey, of Westport, Missouri,
exhibits hive which he calls his Section
Globe and Sash, or Movable Como Beehive,
which is founded on careful study of the
natural disposition and characteristics of the
bees and the nature and habits of their
| enemies. This hive pretends to reduce the
raising of bees and the making Of honey to
as much system and certainty as the raising
of any other farm stock. 1t is claimed FOR
this hive in the first place, that it protects
the bees from their enemies, the chief
of which is the bee-moth; in the next place,
that it places the bees and their honey COM
pletely under control, by which they may be
protected from the tendencies which some
times cause them to run out. 1t is claimed
that q swarm bred in new comb is much
healthier and stronger than where they are
permitted to breed year after year in the
same comb. This hive enables the owner to
regulate tkat, and to keep up the vitality of
the swarm SO that il is claimed that they may
make from 200 to $50 pounds of honey in
a season. The profit Of bee culture may
be estimated from this, and the statement
that if kept in suitable place, the swarm
! will winter on seven or eight pouDds of
, honey. By this hive the honey is removed
without any damage to the bees. We are
satisfied that there is a mine Of wealth to
our State i'll the intelligent culture of bees,
and that this hive is well worthy the atten-
ton of every man who owns piece of land,
PORTABLE sAw-MILLs.
Every one who has been in the hab it oi
attending Agricultural Fairs for the last fe W
Z years must have noticed the great increase
, in class of machines, which, though moi
E precisely agricultural implements, are in.
/. timatey connected with the farming in.
terests of the country, especially in it
Northern and Western portions. We refer
! to Portable Saw-mills, which can be taken
into the woods, wherever good timber grows
! and the logs converted into any style ot
lumber required, on the spot. Several mills
of this class are on exhibition at this fair,
, among which we noticed one from the shop
OF our enterprising fellow citizens, Messrs
; Lane & Bodley, who have before received
several premiums on it at fairs in various
parts of the country They claim for their
apparatus several advantages over an other
! style of Mill, among which are the facility
. . with which their boiler can be cleaned, when
used, as it must frequently be in the West,
: with hard or limestone water--the advantage
of using the engine separate from the boiler,
: enabling it to be more firmly planted than il
, can be when mounted upon the boiler, as is
usually the case with portable engines-and
, especially peculiar arrangement of head
,, blocks, which can be set either simultane-
, ously or independently, enabling one man to
gig back and set the log much more easily
! and accurately than two can in the ordinary
way. rr.. ....0
: The most formidable rival of the Lane
! Bodley Mill on the ground, seems to be the
one exhibited by Messrs. H. & F. Blandy o
GAINESVILLE, who have heretofore been strong
and frequently successful competitors will
4 them for prizes in various places The Messrs
" Blandy exhibited a very handsome portable
!. engine, which, aside from its excellent work
: ing qualities, is one of the finest pieces 0
I, finished workmanship ON the ground. Thei
? mill is designed to accomplish the same re
; suits as the one described above, by a some
what different mechanism. As we have no
yet had an opportunity to compare the work
ing OF the two machines, we can not speal
: more definitely regarding them, but W
, earnestly commend both Mills to the atten
a ton of all interested in such articles.
