AT THE PARK.


AT THE PARK.
The grand parade of stock took place at
$50 yesterday morning, as announced. A
new and important improvement was intro
duced at this parade. AS each animal passed
between the judges and the grand stand Su-
perintendent Hancock, standing on the track,
announced the name of the animal and own
er and owners residence to Director Larue,
who repeated the same from the judges
stand, thus conveying interesting and i'm
portant information to the large audience on
the ground. This is the first time this feat
ure has been introduced, and it was highly
appreciated by those present, and we may
say that it is a step in the right direction.
The fairs heretofore have been defective in
giving information, and all changes in the
direction of conveying information will be
hailed with pleasure by all who attend the
fairs in the future.
MACHINERY.
We have noticed large number Of grape
growers and land reclaimers In constant ex-
animation of Haskin's ditching machine,
evidently greatly interested. This machine
is manufactured at ST. Helena, Napa county,
where the patentee and manufacturer, A.
Haskin, can be addressed.
The Russell hollow-tooth harrow is one of
the machines that interest the practical
farmers at the fair. This harrow is ex-
hibited by Garou'ts & johnson, and is manu-.
factured at Woodland (Yolo county,, Stock
ton and San Leandro, and the demand was
so great for them last season that it could
not be supplied. This year the facilities for
manufacturing have been greatly enlarged,
and it is hoped the demand may be supplied.
For this harrow it is claimed that the teeth,
being round and hollow, a larger number of
them can be used on the harrow, without
encumbering the team with their load,
and the teeth have greater strength, with the
same weight of metal. The harrows are
made in sections and coupled, SO that
the harrow adapts itself to the condition
of the soil and surface Of the land.
Ibis harrow is used and highly recommended
by such practical farmers as G. f. Reed, G.
w. Scott, of Yolo; John Boggs, j. 81.
Byers, of Colusa William Harkey and J.
Joorub, of Yuba, and many others of the
best and most extensive farmers in all sec
tions of the State. j. NJ. Garoutte, of Wood
land, is agent for Sacramento. Sutter, Yuba,
Nevada, Placer and Ell Dorado, and R. B.
johnson is agent for Solano county, and his
address at Woodland. There are three sizes
of this harrow manufactured, SO as to suit all
classes Of farmers, and we can highly recon-
mendit.
"The Nash & Cults Grain-cleaner," for
thrashing machines and warehouses, is manu-
factured by III. D. Nash & Co., 906 K street,
Sacramento. This is one of the latest and
best machines invented for cleaning grain,
and the popularity it has already gained
among farmers is a guarantee of its unrivaled

to any thrasher and run by the same power,
and taking the grain direct from the machine
requires no additional hand, and is no clog on
the machine, as it requires but one horse
power to run it. This machine has come into
use Just in time to secure to California wheat
the reputation it has lost in the past ten years
by neglect in cleaning, and if generally used
it will surely secure that result. This cleaner
is the result of ten years experience in manu-
featuring and improving grain cleaners in
California, and although the machines they
have heretofore been making have taken the
lead as the best cleaners in the State, they
claim this last improved machine to be per-
fection itself. This machine takes out every
thing but the wheat, and the saving in the
reduction of the number of sacks required to
hold the wheat will Of itself almost pay the
expense of cleaning. In this machine has
been introduced new combination gang of
screens, composed of perforated zinc and
rolled wire. The perforated zinc combined
with the rolled wire secures perfection of
cleaning, and at the same time capacity for
rapid work, and this company have secured
the exclusive use of the rolled wire on this
coast, and the combination is their own, so
that no other cleaners can employ the
wire or the combination. We append
a few of the testimonials received
by the manufacturers after one years use of
the cleaners: at is the boss trick. and
every thrasher should have one. | cleared

Gents-The cleaners which you have sold here
are giving perfect satisfaction. l am now

"I do not see how any thrasher can get along
without tn. ?. Rogers, Pleasant Grove,
Sutter county, California. The institution
works admirably; would not be without it
under any circumstances. &C. S. Loshe, Con-
cord. d. McCreary, Suisun, who used two
of these cleaners last season, says: p" have no
fault to find or suggestions to make. The
thing is perfect" 1.-The cleaner consider a
success in every particular. II. Phillippi,

pectations. William Butcher, Vacaville.

first premium at the State Fair of $780,
Nash l. Co. have invented grain elevator
for attachment to their hand machines so as
to elevate the grain and deposit it into sack
as it goes through the machine. This ele-
vator saves one mans work in scooping up
and sacking the grain, and it will no doubt
come into general use.
George Bull l. Co., 81 Market street, San
Francisco, and San Jose, are among the
largest exhibitors at the fair, as they are
among the heaviest importers and dealers in
agricultural machinery In the State. Their
exhibition is attracting large share Of the
attention Of the farmers and dealers on the
ground. Ameng the important machines ex-
hibited by them are the j. /. Case & Co. s
celebrated wood or straw burning engine !;
the Agitator separator, which has larger
cleaning capacity in proportion to the length
of the cylinder than any other machine, and
this recommends them especially for use
in this State. They also show the J. I.
Case sulky gang plows. the Smith gang plows,
Little Chief tanning mills, Harrison wagons,
Eagle self-dumping horse rakes. Mckenzie
seed sower, Tolley's cultivator, Knapp's side
hill plow, etc. We notice in the Case &
Co.'s thrashing eneins several important
features that strike very favorably the eve Of
all experienced thrashing men. First, the
engine is mounted on improved iron wheels,
