AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
Every available foot of space in the MAN.
moth tent for the exhibition of agricultural
implements is occupied by the most extensive
land probably most valuable collection of the
i kind ever brought together in Maine, and per-
xhaps in New England. There are many that
fare entirely new and if they do not prove VAL
suable inventions they certainly are entitled to-
Snotice for the ingenuity displayed in their pro-
sduction.
! We propose to speak ofsome of the more no.
stieeable in the collection trusting that exhibit
sors will not feel sighted if they are not par
aticularly noticed, as it would be impossible to
( find space for mention of all.
4 Parker and Gannett of Boston exhibit 431
sarticles, among which is Prindle's Agrcultur-
11ssal Steamer, for cooking food for stock. 1t is
s3portable, and the boiler is adapted to all pur-
opposes where low pressure of steam is requir-
sed. The smallest size (there are FOUR will
Scook for ten hogs, boil barrel of water, or
sssteam twenty-five bushels of cut feed at one
5time while the largest size will cook for seven
Sty-fve head of cattle. These Steamers
scome at price so low that every farmer can
jim view of their great utility afford to buy.
ssThey also have Billiards. Hay Tedder which
sthey claim will do the work of ten men, and in
"a most thorough manner, improving the quail
ssty of the hay by curing evenly.
A The same firm exhibit Wellington's Vege-
liable Cutter, which is q machine entirely of
smetal and something after the form of q bark
smill except that it cuts instead of crushing
sIt is claimed that the No. will cut from 1 to
y bushels of vegetables per minute in pieces SO
ssmall that there can be no possible danger
afrom checking. Farmers shauld not tail to
l,eXamine this.
] No 1888 is a "Patent Well Curb" an ingen-
sious affair designed to lower, raise and empty
athe bncket, without touching it with the
Glands.
1 The Bay State horse rake, by same, is a.
sspring tootl-wheel rake, each tooth being
pressed to the ground by spiral spring great
Ely lessening the liability to break, while the
teeth at each side are brought forward of those
Gin the centre, thereby preventing the hayI
] from roping out when raking. This feature is
Especially valuable on side hills.
4 No. 213 is an Improved plow, entered by c..
/ Fl. Shepard of Newport, Me-, which is arrang-]
led with anti-frction rollers, one underneath
aand between the mould board and land side,
and the other in the rear end of the land side ),
(which it is claimed will save one fourth of the
sdralt by diminishing the friction. The state
1ment seems plausible from the appearance of.
the pillow.
No. 569 is an improved hoeing machine by
lH. G. Brigg, Auburn, Me- 1t is designed to,
ldo furrowing covering or hoeing, and can be-
operated by one horse or two. One peculiar:
sity of this machine is that it has roller at
,tached to break the Jumps and smooth the
ROW in covering.
No. 1l3, cultivating horse hoe, entered by f
5C. Merrill South Paris, Me. The peculiarityS
,of this implement is that it will "weed' orr
;"hill up" and is easily worked.
No. 519, monitor water wheel, by Lane ,sPit-I
IL in e. 10
but small amount of water to operate it andI
Twill run under water. Consequently it is not,
AFFECTED by back water or by freezing. To our
mind it is as nearly perfect as water-wheel
lean be.
No. S65 is a hand loom, entered by d. M.
lDunham, Bangor. 1t attracted the attention.
!of housewives, since by simply turning al
lcrank it will weave three yards per hour, do
ling the twil,ing at the same time. 1t is I'M
operation on blanket twill, but it is capable!
,of turning out fourteen different varieties of
goods, and seems great improvement on the,
fold hand loom.
No. S66, by the same parties, is modell
Spinner, running six spindles and using com-l
mon machine wool rolls 1t is recommended
ito do the work of half dozen old fashioned
spinning wheels, at the same time doing theg
work more evenly.
Gushing s. White exhibit large collection
,of weather vanes from their mandatory all
sWaltham, Mass, making fine display by tho!
tasteful arrangement and beautiful designs.
No. 958, Raymond Elevator, is horse pitch
fork and is viewed with interest
G. Cory's Sugar Evaporator, entered by FL
sG. Butler of Bellows Falls, VT, is galvaniz-I
led iron trough to be set over an arch. 1t is,
310 IL ft.x4 fit. IT is claimed that it will boil
z IL barrels of maple syrup per hour, produc-,
fling from IL to Is pounds of sugar
No go is Wbittemore's Self Locking Rake i,
Ua horse rake with wheels, the great recuiari-
sty of which is the Lock Lever which holds the
steeth to the ground and prevents their sliding
lover and leaving the hay as is the case with
3some ral1es.
No. 1888 is Stump Fuller by Holmes 81
sBlanchard, Boston, which works by lever
with which one man can lift weight of five
atons; it is simple, and appears to supply al
want long felt The same parties also exhibit
2and have IN operation Hand Corn Mill byl
(which man may grind one bushel of
scorn in one hour, making good meal
IA larger size OF the same can be operated byj
horse or other power. The stones are French
burr.
