Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-10-02

fair this year. The article that attracted
the most attention was the National Re-
versible sulky pillow. This pillow is espec-
tally adapted for use on stony or side-hill
land and is equipped with twos blades by
which furrow may be turned either to the
right or left without leaving dead burrows.
Nine other plows were shown including the
Yankee, Arlington and Oneonta Clipper.
Four styles of harrows were shown, the
Yankee disc, Chicopee spring tooth, steel
edge and clipper smoothing. Among their
other tools were the National horse rake,
land roller, five lever cutters, the Baldwin
ensilage cutter with carrier, both power and
hand, two sizes of corn shelters, three sizes
of wagon Jacks, Champion vegetable cutter,
wheebarows, tanning mill and potato dig
ger. OF the excellence of these tools there
is no question, and the large exhibit proves
the company's enterprise and its intelli-
gent study OF the farmers needs.
G.. II. Grimm & Co., of Rutland limited
their exhibit to their specially, the Cham
pion evaporator. The claim of the superb
ority of this evaporator is based upon the
fact that the regulator sets where the sap
never boils, and as the sap passes from one
department to another it passes over sys-
tenn of corrugations which double its ca
pacity. BY means of portable siphon the
sap is conveyed from one compartment TO
another and is clarified as it proceeds. The
rear end is in three portable compartments.
BY shifting the rear compartment to the
front daily the annoyance of the nitrate de-
post is obvated.
Another evaporation was exhibited by the
Vermont Farm Machine company of Bel
lows Falls. The superior qualities claimed
for this evaporation are extra heating and
evaporating surface and the ability to run
the sap thinner on the bottom and to draw
off the syrup oftener than with any other.
The Burr and Record sap spouts were al
so shown.
A third evaporator was shown by the
Granite State Evaporator company of Mar
low, n. II. The durability of this evapo-
rator is its salient feature, there being no
solder to melt as it is seamless. A food
cooker for farm use was shown by the same
firm. The Granite state evaporator took
first prize at the Whitefeld fair.
Considerable attention was shown the
automatic electric power pump, exhibited
by Charles Ii. Homan of Claremont, n.
H., agent for Vermont and New Hamp-
shire This pump is designed to displace
the windmill and has the advantage of
being compact and always ready for use
without having to wait for wind. An in
candescent light is furnished with the
pump.
S. F. Foster of BIattleboro exhibited
clothes washer, so constructed that small
boy can wash the heaviest articles.
A new departure in traverse sleds was
introduced by A. Weatherhead of Guilfrod.
Each runner Is fastened to the bunk indie
pendently of the other and no beams are
used. For rough or smooth travel the adj
vantage of this feature will be readily rec
ognized. W. N. Dunklee of the North
field, Mass, creamery, showed an Acme en-
CINE, made by the Rochester Machine Tool
company, running United States separa-
tor. The engine was fed by kerosene oil.
One of the features of the snowplow ex-
hibited by Saker & WILLARD of Chester is
that it will pillow out pitch holes as readily
as any other part of the road. 1t may be
spread out to u feet in width or closed to
allow the passing of teams.
Notable among the exhibit of vehicles
was that of NJ. S. Leach of Hinsdale, N.
II. The workmanship in his carriages is
guaranteed and in style and finish they are
unexcelled Mr.. Leach's specialties are
Concord buggies, grocery wagons and
features from his Hinsdale shop showed
the good materials and excellent work
manship which have given his work high
reputation and steady sale in this part of
the Connecticut valley. Mr.. Leach's ex-
hibit included ten vehicles and full line
of single and double harness, robes and
blankets.
The exhibition of carriages by Rockwell
& Sherwin, the local manufacturers, was
notably complete. Their spider buggy, a
new and original pattern, found favor
among many visitors. Their canopy-top
surrey, with corning body and end springs,
was also admired. They also showed
piano-box and Concord wagons of their
own make and several factory carriages
and old comfort and Portland sleighs.
Liveryman H. r. Browns exhibit of
modern equipages, drew, as usual, deserved
attention. Prominent among them were
the stanhope phaeton, Concord buggy, fine
road wagons, Surveys, sleighs, harness, and
complete outfit of horse clothing.
