California representative of the largest agri-
cultural implement manufacturing firm In
the United States or the world. The home
establishment is located at Saltwater, Min.
nesota. and they have a branch establishment
at Fiueal. Ontario, and the last year have
also established works at Oakland, Alameda
county. The celebrated thrasher and sepa-
rator, {" Minnesota Chief" which has gained
such q wide reputation in this State and
on this coast, is manufactured by this
firm sDdwe are within tbs bounds Of truth when
we assert that there are twice as many more
OF this separator made and sold each yeal
than of any other separator ever built. This
\ firm ere also the manufacturers of the well.
known Saltwater straw, wood or coal burn.
ing engines, and the Elwood equalizing horse.
power. and many other standard agricultural
machines now in use and very popular or
this coast. The home factory gives constant
employment to eight hundred men. The ca
| pacity OF the home factory is eight separators,
four engines and six powers daily. They are
compelled to add annually to their capacity
20 keep up with the demands upon them.
Their establishment makes quite town in
itself. The great demand for their machines
in Canada, and the duties on Americsu.made
goods imported into Canada, induced the
establishment OF the factory in Ontario,
and so great has been the call for them on
the Pacific coast for the past few years that
to better meet that call they have determined
to make q permanent establishment in this
State. By this change they will be able to
supply their Pacific coast custom with more
perfect machines at less cost, and viii be able
the more readily to make any changes and
Improvements suggested by the peculiar con.
ditisns of the agriculture of the coast. With
iu the past year, since the temporary location
Of their works at Oakland, they have turned
out Que hundred machines for this State and
Oregon, the castings and hardwood
frames having been shipped from
the main factory at Saltwater. Their
experience on this coast has been so
satisfactory that they now design making
a permanent location or an independent es-
| tablishment. where thsy will open up a fac
tory that will supply the demand for their
line of goods made here from the ground up.
| They are now looking for the best location
where they will purchase grounds. erect
shops and put up their machirery the COIN
ing season. Such shops Will give employment
to several hundred hands, and contribute TO
the prosperity of the location and the State.
Visitors desiring to see this exhibition will
| inquire for " Minnesota Chief" which is IN
operation just north of the running machinery
building at the cattle grounds. where the
agent, G.. w. Morrison, will be pleased to
see them and give them such information as
they desire. MIR. Morrison extends cordial
invitation TO all the farmers visiting the fair
| to call on him at the locality indicated, as
he believes he will be able to make it to their
interest to become acquainted with the ma
chinery he represents.
John Dodds' sulky hay rakes, nlsnufact-
ured ct Dayton Ohio, have long been the
standard rakes in this State They have
been handled by the best houses on the coast,
LOT Of ot1r hands
But the past year the manufacturer has con-
cluded to make a change in Lis plan of
getting them into the farmers hands. He
has therefore established at San Francisco a
general agency, and appointed S. H. Gould
general agent. Mr.. Gould is exhibiting these
rakss at the fair, and from him we learn
some hing of the extensivsness of the factory
at Dayton and the number of rakes sold and
used on this coast. There are about II, 600
rakes manufactured each year. A large
number are sold in the United States, ard
many are shipped to Europe. By the way.
this rake took the gold medal at the Worlds
Exposition st Paris, in 1879, in field of
forty competitors. The number Of rakes
sold on this coast the last year was about
l 300, and the prospect is that double that
number will be demanded the coming season.
There are six different rakes invented and
manufactured by MIR. Dedds,. and the last
improvement has now been in use two sea-
sons, and the verdict of the farmers on this
improvement has been so universally favora-
BILE that much larger number of this style
will be made the present season. The last
improvement is called the Reindeer Self
Dump" and it is claimed that this rake is at
once the simplest and most durable self
dumping rake manufactured in the world to-
dsy. These rakes can bs seen in the running
machinery building, where Mr.. Gould will
be glad to show them to the farmers.
Haskin's ditching plow is to be seen at the
northwest corner of the running machinery
building,
Kuhner's improved "A" harrow is manu-
factured at Roseville Junction, Placer county,
and is in use by large number of farmers in
Fthat section. It is made entirely of iron.
The cross bar to wklch the teeth are attached
being of the same durability as the teeth, no
weather can affect any part Of the harrow.
The teeth are of steel, and so attached that
they can be removed and me- ones substi-
tuted by merely turning nut. The drawing
attachment can be changed so as to draw the
harrow from either end and even the teeth
uniformly. The harrow is made in sections,
so that it can be adapted to any number of
animals, from one TO six or more working
abreast. and the teeth are so placed in the
frame as to do the most perfect execution,
the furrows cut by the teeth being uniformly
one and half inches apart. Those who
have used this harrow give it the best recon-
msndation for perfect work and durability.
Mr. B. Hammill represents this harrow, and
ne and it can be seen in the northern machin-
cry building.
The Campton single farm-gate is exhibit.
ed by the inventor, A. P. Campton. Rhoner-
vile, Humboldt county /; patented May 5,
1881. This is an iron gste or can be made
of wood. It is generally called self-opening
gate, but is opened and shut by those who
pass through il On horseback or in wagon CT
carriage, by pulling coId hanging over
pulley at the proper distance on either side
Of the gate, so that q man sitting in bis car
riage can pull on it and open the gate, and,
having passed through, he pulls on another
similar cord and closes tho gate. The latch is
50 contrived that no stock can open it, and it
is impossible TO open without intelligent in
tention and assistance. For all purposes cf q
farm gate this is one of the most convenient,
durable and complete of anything We have
seen in this line. It can be seen about half
way between the two machinery buildings,
where Mr. CsmUton OF Mr.. Noble will ex-
plain its good qualities. All who desire to
make any inquiries IN regard to this gate
after the fair, viii call on Mr.. Noble, at 302
Eleventh street, in this city, OF address Mr.
Csmpton, at his home, both of whom will sell
farm, county or State rights.
The Petaluma breal1ing-cart is exhibited
by Mr.. Noble also. His cart is too well
known among hoIsemen to need any special
oommendation. It is at once handy, simple
and chesp, and Mr.. Noble only wants to say
that he can supply any lumber wanted at
S65 each.
The Rcsedale msrket-wagcn ia fue job.
It is in the carriage building, at the south
end, and is the work of Palm Bros, two
young men who were born and raised in this
city ard learned their trade here. They
started o shop on the north side OF j street,
between Eleventh and Twelfth, about three
months ago, and the wagon exhibited is one
OF their first jobs, and it would do credit to
the Oldest and best shops in the city. The
Palm Bros. desire to say to their friends and
the public that they viii be pleased il they
viii call on them at their shop and leave
orders for any jobs in the carriage, wagon or
plow line.
