Machinery Display
A department of the fair which is
| proving to be of great interest TINS
| wear, especially to the farmers, is the
| tent where different farm implements
and machines are being eXhlplteu
and demonstrated. The booths, al
though not many in number, contain
many appliances to l1ghten the IA
bors of a farm and the exhibitors are
very glad to point out the advantages
of their goods to any who are In
terested.
A concern which has good sized
display this year is the Bracket and
| Shaw Co. of Boston, Mass, and
| Somersworth. N. H. The Quality
| Suburbanite Water System, compris-
! ing large capacity pump but with
! a small compression tank so that the
pump and cut out will not be under
undue strain, is a feature of this dis
| play. Another machine of no little
| interest is the Blue Ribbon Electric
Mixer, which is complete in itself
and needs no installation of any
| kind. The New Black Hawk Manure
spreader, which appears to be very
serviceable machine, also occupies a
prominent part of the booth. Several
other agricultural implements are IN
| the booth.
| At the Central Maine Power Co.
! booth of which Dexter Spaulding Is
| in charge there is a demonstration or
the General Electric Co.'S farm chore
! engine which has been put on the
market this year as particularly
adaptable to the various tasks about
a farm. The motor is on truck and
can easily be moved about the farm
and it has power Of ITO or 220 volts,
as the case may require. The motor
may be applied to a variety Of ser
vices, particularly for duties of an
intermittent nature. where a motor
permanently installed on the ma
chimes would not be used enough
hours each day to justify the invest
ment. Some suggested applications
| are wood saving, water pumping,
! ensilage cutting and blowing, hay
hosting and host of others. A
second feature of hte booth are the
Gould Automatic Water Pumps for
deep and shallow wells which supply
