DErACHISG SAFETY wHIFFLE TREE,
Patented by Col. Z. p. Jones, of SunfiOw-
er, attracted n good deal of attention. BY
the application Of this apparatus to q shaft
horse can be attached or detached by q simple
motion Of the hand. If horse should take
a notion to run, he can be turned loose from
the buggy In q second. Col. Jones used this
apparatus for several years in North Caro-
lima, for his own convenience, but he has
been prevailed upon of late 20 have the in
vention patented. Its general application
to carriages and buggies will save much
time and trouble, and render the riding be-
hind fast stock not quite SO hazardous.
FARQUHAR AND DOAN's FEED BOILER AND
STEAMER,
Represented by Farquhar & Moon. of
Richmond, Ind, took two first class premi-
ums, one, As an Evaporation and one as
Feed Boiler and Steamer. The small amount
of fuel and labor required by this machine
cannot fail to render 1t general favorite
with our Southern Farmers.
SUBSTITUTE FOR STONE
Was shown US by Mr.. Jas. Clark, Secretary |
Ofthe Louisiana Frear Stone Manufacturing |
Company. The specimens on exhibition |
were a window cap and ashlar, both recent
ly made but very compact and nearly as |
heavy as the genuiEe rock. This compost
ton can be moulded into any desired pat
tern. and is certainly q very cheap and ele-
CANT building material. Indeed it has al
ready entered very largely into the con-
struction OF buildings, culverts, etc. in New
York, Chicago, New Orleans, and other
cities. The Superintendent of the Louisiana
Company 1t Thos. j. Ports, IS Natchez
street. New Orleans. Builders and contrac-
tors would do well to correspond with him,
or with the Agents in this city, Messrs. Tay-
lor and Fulmer.
THE COLEMAN MILL"
Was grinding out meal at the rate of fifty
bushels an hour, as W passed by it on Tues
day. We found its clever proprietor, II.
Dudley Coleman, running the machine. On
our return from the Grounds we found at
our residence bushel of superior meal
ground on Mr.. Coleman's Mill in sixty-four
seconds!
One of the most ingenious as well as val
liable articles exhibited at our late State
Fair was the Centrifugal Well. by Smith Z
Farr.
These Wells are made of pipe (of any de-
sired size) driven into the ground by means
of patent hammer, and furnish pure water
in any quantity. In case the pipe comes in
contact with rock there is prov ded patent
drill to cut through, when the pipe may be
driven to any depth thus every farmer may
have in his stock yard constant and I'M
failing supply of pure water and at a nom
inal cost.
The Head Block for saw mills, exhibited
by Kingsland. Ferguson & Co., receive the
of che Awarding Committee as
will be seen by their report. Five of these
machines were sold during the continuance
of the Fair.
The Single Machine of Chas. S. Butt also
received the endorsement of the Awarding
Committee. Some fifteen of these machines
have been sold during the past week.
The Eagle Straw Cutter deserves mention
and the Awarding Committee have done
credit in making special mention
Of it. No farmer can conveniently be with
out one.
One of the most unique and economical
on exhibition was a "Meat Chop
per-" that performs its Office in a very ac-
ceptable manner.
Mr.. Jno. s. Carson, of Brookhaven takes
the premium on his churns over dozens of
By this churn butter is made
n six minutes, and Is in practical operation
I'm thousands of families in Mississippi.
This is a purely Mississippi invention, by
one of our Oldest citizens, and has been
awarded the highest premium In Louisiana
two successive years, and now at our own
State Fair. There Is mo- doubt of its utility.
Another article of great value, and one
that will prove cheap and convenient to
bakers, is Cracker Machine, patented by
Cyrus Marsh, Esq., of FRANKLIN comfy. The
utility of this machine Is demonstrated at
a glance, It being constructed to pass the
dough between two cylinders, Que of which
is covered with a soft material while the
other is supplied with cups that come in
contact with the soft substance in revolving,
thus cutting the cracker in the desired
shape; while from the cylinders passes
revolving sheet ON n plane which conveys
the crackers from the cylinder. Mr.. Marsh
will commence the manufacture of these
machines early next spring, and proposes
to supply them, hand power, for el75 to 500
and steam power, for $3.50 TO $500.
The Tribune Water Wheel, exhibited by
G. d. Bustamante. received the commenda-
lions of the awarding committee for Its SUI
periority ~ q water power.
