Billiards. hay tedder was shown to large
number of farmers and gave them much salts
faction.
One of the exhibitors, whose name we did
not learn, was busy showing a continuance for
loading hay. 1t was large fork attached to
the side of the rack, and by careful engine erng
it could be run beneath the hay cock. Then by
touching spring the hay would be raised and
thrown into the rack. 1t worked nicely in the
hall, but looks to be rather complicated for the
bayfield,.
