[United

Mill, composed of two smooth rollers, for crushingcorn and seeds; it also grinds beans, peas, maize, &c., bya serrated roll at the bottom of the hopper, which acts asa feed roller when the mill is used for crushing purposes.This engine is represented in the annexed cut.

Turner’s Crushing Mill.

163 Rogers, Jasper W., 88 St. James’s Street —Inventor and Patentee.

A deodorizing chamber, intended for use in publicplaces and establishments: the receptacles being partlyfilled with peat charcoal. . The animal matter is deodo-rized, and entirely absorbed by the charcoal, the combina-tion producing a valuable manure.

185 Samuelson, B., Banbury —Manufacturer.

Patent double-action turnip-cutter, for cattle and sheep,on a wrought-iron or wooden frame; the slicer-knife forcattle may be dropped when the seed-knives are in action;the hopper is on a hinge to facilitate the cleaning of thebarrel.

[The turnip-cutter is one of the most valuable improve-ments in English farming : for fattening flocks it is indis-pensable. By thus sparing the animal the labour ofchewing its food, their condition is improved 20 per cent.—Ph. P.]

Chaff-cutter for hand or horse power, on an angle ironframe; cuts two lengths. Universal mill, adapted tocrush all kinds of grain except linseed. Improved bean-mill. Small oil-cake breaker. Registered atmosphericchurn. General purpose plough, but especially suited toheavy clay soils. Horse*hoe, with three tires, whichmay be set and firmly secured at a variable distance; alsotwo sets of revolving rowels. Skim and paring plough,&c.

186 Bates, F., Summcrtown, Oxford —Inventor.

Implement to facilitate the removal of plants in pots.

190 Winder, Richard, 2 Ingram Court, FenchurchStreet —Inventor.

Model of a machine for mowing corn or grass by rotaryhorizontal knives, having a considerable velocity; pro-posed to be worked by one or two horses, according tothe size the machine is required to be made. It is sug-gested, that two shafts (as in the model) arc an improve-ment, by offering no impediment to the falling com inthe centre space, in allowing the machine to turn withinits own length, and allowing free action to the knives

while the machine is turning. Also, the means of throw-ing the machine in or out of gear are considered as eco-nomical and effective, as well as the means of sharpeningthe knives, and the distribution of the falling corn.

191 Henton, John —Inventor.

Hand roller. The object of this roller is to combineefficiency with lightness of draught.

192 Smith, Henry, 12 Buford’s Bow , near the■ Church , Islington —Inventor and Manufacturer.

Registered horticultural hot-water gas stove ; consistingof two cylinders, the external 18 inches diameter, intci'nal 5 inches diameter, with top and bottom containingwater; and internal pipes. The gas is lighted at thelower end.

The multiple box hive, invented by the exhibitn r ‘One of the objects of this hive is to permit the bees t°have access at the points most convenient for their work*which always begins from the top of the hive, and p 1 ’ 0 'ceeds downwards; the natural hives chosen by themhaving generally access from the top, and not Iron 1below. The common cottage hive admits the bees at tnbottom, and gives them much additional labour to carrytheir load upwards, instead of relieving them by takingit in with their descent. It is found by experience thawhen the bee is admitted at the top, the hive fills niu cl1more rapidly with comb and honey. In the multip ehive every box is formed exactly alike; they may n®placed one on the other, and their order inverted &pleasure, in such way as may he best suitable for tn eoperations of the bee-keeper. Any single box will fo rn *a sufficient hive for any swarm during the first season jbut when this box is filled, a second is added, presentingto the bees additional room, of the same form and size asthat to which they have been accustomed; theyto it at once; swarming is prevented; and without kjSof time the new box is filled with comb and honey. * nbees rarely deposit any larva; in this box. The colonychiefly retires to the lower one, keeping guard oncontents of the upper, and ample provision aga in“ a rainy day/' in the lower box. When the upper ovis filled, and a fine box of pure clean honey in the coPis wanted, it may be removed, and replaced by an empyone, which in due season they will also fill; the hibelow remaining an undisturbed domicile. e

In course of time the combs in which the larvse h a gbeen deposited become uncomfortably dirty; these ho*then offer the greatest facility for shifting the familyclean quarters. Suppose an upper box is full, ortially full, of comb and honey, the lower one maymade so uncomfortable as to oblige the colony tointo the upper, and then the lower may be remo* ’putting what was the upper box into its place. I* yqueen or any bees have remained in the box taken a^by upsetting it, and putting a piece of plankinclined plane, so as to form a bridge from it to thewhich remains on the stand, they will not only &Rinto it, hut very quickly carry away the honey fr OI *J todirty comb into the clean hive, and be soon ready^begin to fill another box. The bee-keeper can thus m ^tiply his colonies of bees without permitting them^swarm; or he can produce off-casts, if he prefer totiply his hives. . . ce d

The covered way by which the bees enter is pwith openings both downwards and upwards, so tbia .

bee, once alighted, is free to choose either dire jjWhen the hives are in position, one on the other, ^glass may be placed over the upward opening, fdesired to have honey in such a receptacle. A * ee ^ e 0box may be put over it, -if it be needful to g ive ^food; and either the glass or the feeding-hoxcovered by a common straw cap, or by an additiona ^
