Macdonald & Co., one of Austin 1 .-- road graders, an American invention, and had tho advaiw tngo of having the patentee on tho | spot when trials of it were made the other flay. Tlie Ashburton puardtan says the road chosen for the first operation was eminently suited to test the capabilities of the machine*, as the sides Tvere in parts very lumpy, and grass had grown in profusion. Jt was evidently a road that Wat) not very much used. The machine was drawn by a traction engine. As soon as it got to work it was apparent that its usefulness as a road grader was beyond all pc-ssible i doubt. The main section of the! machine is a long mould board, capable of being raised or lowered, or adjusted to cut at any angle, the whole of the mechanism being worked b.v one man from the roar of the machine The work fur which the machine is especially adapted is that j of cleat ing grass from the sides of : roads, leaving them cleanly graded to carry ofl' water. This not only tends to preserve the mettled por- j tion of the road, but also reduces wear by turning the sides of the ' I'oadway into gtxid summer tracks, five from nits. In operation, the mould board, which has n hard-cut-ting edge, is lowered to the desired depth, and the gruss is smoothly ski turned oil, and passed away to one side, leaving a nicely levelled surface. The rutting edge is turned up to an angle, which ensures the soil keeping tt sharp, and if any immovable onstacle. such ns an embedded boulder, is met with, the mould bo;*rd lifts and passes over it. and can be raised at either or both ends, wurking diagonally or straight. a.s required. After it had cut the sides of the road, the stntT put o(T was worked l-ack into the centre. and the machine put over it again, leaving the crown ready for gravelling, if necessary. This operation over, the machine was put to a severe test on a road where the sides were very hard, and- contained much iieavy j shingle formation Mr Ijcadley took a ttnti at the gear on this occasion, and although a little bit "on th<' green side." at first, soon gut seasoned, and before the first stretch was" over, he had served his apprenticeship, and bandied the machine like a tradesman. Despite tho severeness of tho test on the shingly sides. and lhe distance travelled, I there was nothing to indicate any inability on the part of the machine to fiu Hi I its duty. It was decided to test the ploughing capabilities of J the machine, und the engine was dtawu in close to the fence, the cut- j tor lowered at one end to the de- i sired depth, leaving a good ditch of ! even dimensions throughout. The work it did in this way in five or ten minutes would take a man and a scoop hours to perform, and could not be done mi4f so well. AUSTBALIAh MUTUAL PROVIDfcST SOOIBTY MONEYTO LEND.
