BROWN & CO., Norwich Quay. pLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH <fc CO.'S Port^ v/ able Steam Engines Clayton, Shuttleworth. & Co.'s fixed steam engines Clayton, Shuttleworth & Co.'s bolting, thrashing, straw shaking, riddling, barley horning, and winnowing machines. The superiority of Messrs. Clayton, Shuttleworth and Co.'s portable and fixed steam engines is so well known that comment is unnecessary. See list of prices at the Great Exhibition of all Nations in Hyde Park, London, and of all agricultural shows throughout England, since 1849. As a proof of the superiority of C. S. & Co.'s combined thrashing machines over all others, the following extract, copied from the Judges' Report of the Royal Agricultural Society's Meeting held at Lincoln, 1854, is sufficient to establish their well earned reputation:— " Not long since the Farmer was satisfied to thresh an increased quantity of corn by the application of steam-power to the old threshing-box. Soon he finds he must have his corn partially dressed; but now he must have it finished, sacked, and weighed for market. "For these last improvements we are much indebted to Messrs. Clayton'and Shuttleworth; and here I must remerk that they were rather in advance of the Society, for they brought out their finishing machine at Lewes, previously to a prize being offered. "Portable Thrashing Machines not exceeding Eight Horse Power, with Straw Shaher, Riddle and Winvower, that will best prepare the corn for the finishing Dressing Machine; to be driven by steam. "The prize of £20 was awarded to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, the performances of whose machine were, on the whole, superior to any other,' and its construction inferior to none. " The best fixed Thrashing Machine not exceeding Eight Horse Power, with Shaher, Riddle and Winnower, that will best prepare the corn for marhet; to be driven by steam. : "For the prize of £20 there were two competitors, arid the table will show that the Machine exhibited by Clayton and Shuttleworth was decidedly superior to that of Garret and Son, especially in the trial with wheat. The prize was therefore awarded to it; and too much can scarcely be said in its praise, for it is next to impossible for a machine to thresh and dress corn in a better manner. There was neither tail corn amongst the best nor best among the tail; and the latter was again separated into marketable, chicken corn, whites, seeds, &c, each delivered into sacks from separate spouts.
