Patent cesspool and tank cleanser, for the speedy and innoxious removal of stagnant water, etc. The following figure represents this machine.
Patent engine for raising water. The figure represents one of these machines, for the purpose of throwing to a considerable height a volume of water. This form of engine is provided with a tank.
Force and other pumps. The force-pump has the advantage of a double action, drawing the water from any depth, and forcing it fifty feet at the same operation; so that while it is well adapted for general domestic purposes, it is equally so for other applications.
Patent portable forge, which may be worked in a barn, or removed into the open air. It is compact, cheap, and strongly made. There are various sizes of these forges, all of which are equally portable.
Patent plate glass lantern, combining safety and economy.
Iron pig-troughs.
Enamelled milk pans.
Patent enamelled mangers, of various descriptions.
Double weighing-machines, adapted for commercial and agricultural purposes.
Howard's JK plough. This plough is intended as a substitute for the large four-horse Kentish plough, and fitted with mould boards or breasts, which turn the furrow over round, leaving a perfect seam, in the same manner as the Kentish turn-wrist plough. It is used with a pair of horses, but occasionally with three or four. It is capable of ploughing any land, however dry and hard. It may be fitted with an extra large breast or furrow-turner, for very deep ploughing.
The skim coulter, shown in the following cut, is a most useful appendage. It is of great importance when ploughing ley ground and stubbles; it precedes the common coulter, paring and turning into the furrow the herbage upon the surface, so that when the soil is turned over by the plough, nothing of grass or weeds is left to grow out between the furrow; consequently the vegetable matter thus buried, instead of living upon the soil, decomposes, and serves to enrich the land. It will also be found most useful when ploughing in dung, mustard, tares, etc., for with the addition of "a drag-chain," all may be turned in completely. With a new registered lever, for regulating the wheels. The cut represents this plough, and the wheel having its fulcrum at b, and its point of action at a.
Improved horse-rakes. The horse-rake is adapted for raking barley and other corn stubbles; also cut grass after it is strewn in the process of making hay. Each tooth works independently on a separate lever, so as to fall to the irregularities of the surface, and the oblique direction of the teeth is altered by raising or lowering the ends of the levers, so that the teeth may rake lightly or heavily, as the quality of work or nature of the surface may require. There is also attached a simple lever-purchase, so as to enable a lad to raise the teeth without stopping the progress of the implement, to relieve them of their load, and leave it neatly raked up in rows.
The hay-making machines are made with iron wheels. The rake-cylinders are in two lengths, which eases the working of the machine; and, as they have a double motion, it is immaterial which way they are turned.
Hay-making machines, with reversing motion. In the first process of tedding or making hay, it goes across the swarths, throwing the grass in the usual manner; when, having laid for a short period, the motion can be reversed, and it will throw it out loosely, so that the air can operate on it much more speedily than when heavily laid down.
Mills, of various descriptions, for agricultural produce.
Patent economic corn-mill, effecting a saving of time and labour. This machine is shown in the annexed cut.
A vegetable washer, constructed with a rack and pinion, so that the cylinder enclosing the vegetables, may be raised out of the water, and emptied into a trough or barrow, with the greatest ease.
A chaff-engine, applicable for hand, water, or steam power. It is constructed to cut various lengths. This machine is used in the West Indies, for cutting cane tops.
Sussex butter-churn, of block-tin.
Patent American butter-churn.
One row turnip-drill.
Gardner's patent turnip-cutting machine.
Liquid manure pumps.
