Class 49. Agricultural Implements, and Processes used in the Cultivation of Fields and Forests.
- 1 Double-furrow Plough
- 1 Single-furrow Plough
These ploughs are distinguished for lightness of draught, and well-packed furrows and general excellence. They are better suited for colonial use than the imported implements.
- Three Samples of Bonedust, fine, medium, and coarse; value, eight shillings per cwt.
- No. 2/1 Superphosphate of Lime, manufactured from bones by the Exhibitor
- No. 2/2 Artificial Bone Manure, manufactured from the superphosphate as seen in jar 2/1, and ready for use either by drill or broadcast
The superior excellence of this preparation over bone as applied in a crushed state consists in its superior adaptation for the immediate utilisation by the plant of all the fertilising properties in the bone, and its even and equal distribution of the same. For top dressing grass lands apply 300 lbs. per acre; for grain, potatoes, and turnips apply from 400 to 450 lbs. per acre.
- Double-furrow Plough, with swivel coulters
The frame is made of best hammered scrap iron, and the coulters, mouldboards, and shares of best hard cast steel. These ploughs, of which we have made and sold over twelve hundred in one season, have taken, in actual trials in the field, more prizes than those of all other

makers combined, besides having repeatedly taken the Champion Prize for the best ploughing in the field, when competing against the best single and double ploughs of other makers.
- 1 Set Iron Zig-zag Harrows
- An Assortment of Patented Machine-made Castings.
- Designs for Farm Buildings
