Reid and Gray make the most of the space allotted to them ai.d showed i their ' Champion ' Double Furrow Plough with all its latest improvements including • Gray's patent width and depth adjuster ' which enables the ploughman to adjust his width and depth without stopping h's horses, as is necessary with all other ploughs ; this plough is found to be the best adapted for all conditions of country. The mouldboards are now all made to duplicate on this as well as on all the double furrow ploughs made by this firm. Next comes their No 1. Patent ' Eureka ' Double Turnip, Mangold, and Manure Drill, which has been much improved in construction for 1897, and fully warrants the reputation Messrs Reid and Gray have earned for their various description of seed-drills. The Deering ' Pony ' All-Steel Binder occupies a prominent position. This favourite binder is fitted throughout with Ball and Roller bearings, which as originally applied by Deerings, have stood a six years' test all the world over, this binder, which is generally worked with one horse less than other binders owing to its lightness of draft, manages crops that completely baffle other machines. Owing to (he construction of the platform and rest this 'Pony ' does not shy at any condition of crop. On this stand are also seen samples of Patent Wire Strainers, share points which have proved such a boon and economy to farmers, digger shares, fencing standards, bolt clips, binding twine, one of the roller bearings taken from a ' Pony ' binder, etc. We note that Messrs Reid and Gray advertise that that they welcome any I visitfng farmers, many of (their manu! factures as well as Clayton and Shuttle worth's oil engine and threshing mill and Burrell's ti action engine being shown in motion. | I
