Scarifier, invented and manufactured by the exhibitor. This implement has seven shares or tines, of which there are two sets, broad steel shares and couching tines, for cutting, breaking, and pulverizing the soil. The shares are easily fixed into the frame by means of a wedge. The frame containing the shares is raised or lowered by means of a lever, at a single operation; and by the stop for regulating the lever, uniform depth of work is obtained.

Patent turnip-cutter, by Edmund Moody, of Maiden Bradley.

Cheese press, with double lever; constructed with a compound lever and screws. The screw, which is of wrought-iron, can be easily adapted to any depth of cheese.

A set of six harrows, adapted for wet lands, which can be adjusted to the width of any ridge, whilst the horses walk in the furrow. Their form is peculiar, the frame of each being forged into one piece, and the tines are so arranged that each follows in a distinct track.
