The straw burning attachment, however, is
the valuable feature of the engine. It has
separate straw box in which the straw
is first burned, and all the gases
and sparks are drawn into q separate
fre-box or combustion chamber, in which
they are entirely consumed, thus doing away
with the old and most serious objections to
fre-burning engines in the field. This engine
was working on the ground, and this feature
was illustrated to the satisfaction of all who
saw it. The old J. l. Case & Co. firm at
Racine, Wis.,, has been for twenty years the
leading thrashing-machine builders in the
United States, and the plain and serviceable
machinery they have been so successful in
introducing in all parts of the country has
given them high reputation among dealers
and consumers Of agricultural imple-
ments and machines. Those who are
not already acquainted with them will do
we'll to give them careful examination,
and if they try them all will be satisfied.
The reputation of Bull & Co. on this coast ia
also guaranty of the good quality of the
machinery they deal in. Their whole line of
machines and tools are of the very best
pattern, and have been specially adapted to
the conditions of the agricultural wants of
the coast. Mr.. L. Osler is in charge of all
the machinery of Bull & Co. on the grounds,
and his location is between the vehicle and
machinery buildings, where he invites all to
call and see him.
The celebrated Davis iron wagons are repre-
sented at the fair by Z. A. Scott & Co., of
San Francisco. All who were on the grounds
yesterday and witnessed the walking match,
had an opportunity of seeing these wagons,
as the wagons drawn by the three horses con-
testing were Of this pattern. The wagons
drawn, however, were header wagons. The
winner of the walking match pronounced
them the easiest running wagons he ever
hitched to, and he won farm wagon of the
same make. These wagons being all iron are
especially adapted to the dry climate
of California, as the weather cannot
affect them. 1t is now about three
years since they have been in use in the
East, and about one year and half ago
car load was brought to this State and put in
use here. S. P. Barnes, of Yolo county, has
one of the first brought here; also s. w.
Mering, of the same county. And Dr. ii. j.
man, of Winters, Yolo county, are among
those who have wagons of the first importa-
ton, and from these gentlemen we learn that
they give entire satisfaction, all being as per-
feet as when first made, the only part worn
being the tire. They have proved so salts
factory that the importers have this season
imported hundred, which have largely been
sold, and are in use In various parts of the
coast. They are well made in every particu.
lar, and of the very best material. and are all
sold with the guaranty of the manufacturers
to give satisfaction or the money will be re-
funded. They are becoming the popular
wagon of the coast.
Among the many meritorious exhibits in
the agricultural department of this fair none
were more conspicuous than that of jackson
4 Truman, of San Francisco. This firm de-
serves credit for showing the many visitors to
the fair the mode of thrashing the vast
amount of wheat and other cereals grown on
this coast. Attached to the Bronson Pitts
separator, in front of the cylinder, was the
Jackson self.feeder, elevator and separator.
There are now 700 of these feeders in use on
this coast, and SO important an adjunct is
this device to the successful thrashing, clean.
ing and separating of the grain from the
straw, that all machines are compelled
to use them. The farmers inform US
that the machines thrash more in
a day, do it better, and save more
of the grain, than by the old way of
hand-feeding. The feeder dispenses with two
tirst-elass men, who usually get from 81 to s5
per day to feed the machine. They also ex-
hibit in connection with this Low derrick
with two forks, which enables two men to
place all the straw any machine can thrash
on the derrick-table at the foot of the long
elevator, where four men are employed to
hoe it down on the long canvas, upon which
it is conveyed to the self feeder and thence to
the cylinder. Thus it only takes six men and
one to drive the team which hoists the forks,
instead of fourteen or twenty by the
old way of hand-feeding and manipulating.
They exhibit the Jackson California wine
mill, Truman's iron harrow, Jackson's light
weight horse forks, Farmers iron blocks,
Jackson's vineyard harrow, Jackson's high
derrick self-feeder. and the celebrated Price,
or Petaluma, hay press, which bales nine
tenths of the hay on this coast. This firm
have large mandatory in San Francisco,
and give employment to about seventy-6ve
men. Mr.. jackson started the business Of
making his self-feeders in Woodland, but the
business soon grew too large for that place,
and he removed to San Francisco some four
years ago, and this season became associated
with Mr.. L. j. Truman, who had been selling
hardware and implements for the past
twenty years in this city and San Francisco,
and it is safe to say that no man is better
known amongst the farmers and merchants
on this coast than Mr.. Truman. They make
good articles, and make them well, are live,
energetic men, and will no doubt build up
large and prosperous business, and we hope
soon to see them building thrashers and
*
sums of money which are annually sent East.
