The prize engine in 1849 consumed 11*50 lbs. of coal per horBe-power.Fixed engines have, too, arrived at a great degree of perfection in the direction in which tests have hitherto been carried. The winner at Gloucester consumed the smallest fraction over 6 lbs. per hour per horse-power, nor was the second far behind it, while the highest was but a fraction over 8 lbs. ; vibram five fingers and thus, whilst on one side the President of the Royal Agricultural Society, Mr. Pusey, has written and reasoned in the most forcible manner on the advantages of the portable over the fixed engine, and whose views are supported by practical men in various parts of the country, there is a feeling amongst others that the portable steam-engine is faulty, vibram fivefingers and—except for job-work, for which they are now paying too highly to those who let them out—will ultimately be displaced by the fixture— that the purchaser has a vast amount to pay for a costly travelling apparatus, which might be saved— and that a fixed steam-engine can be put up for a price, small compared with that of a locomotive. vibram five fingers sale The Royal Agricultural Society, which used to give double the prize for a locomotive they did for a fixture, have this year made them both alike, and the Yorkshire Agricultural Society has offered á50 for a fixture at the Ripon Meeting; vibram five fingers shoes but it must be left to time and practical operations for determining the comparative merits of the two kinds of engines.While on the subject of steam-engines, we cannot help alluding to the vast amount of ammonia which is annually allowed to waste in our coke ovens. five fingers shoes We saw several in the county of Durham, not long ago, where tons of ammonia are lost annually. Will not Mr. Pease or some other skilful and scientific man set to work to collect this valuable agricultural compound, and so save tons of guano, instead of allowing it to waste, and possibly in its excess to injure the vegetation around it, which its more minute doses would so much benefit ? We hope so, and here leave it for the present.SHORT-HORNED CATTLE.The Short-horn, Durham, or, more properly speaking, " the Improved Short-horn," is now unquestionably established as the most profitable breed of cattle we possess. The reasons for this are obvious enough ; vibram five fingers kso no animal arrives so early at maturity, few supply meat of as superior a quality, while fewer still hare so many recommendations either in appearance or disposition, for the homestead of the agriculturist, or the domain of the amateur. It has, however, occasionally been urged that, in one particular, the Short-horn is deficient. By many the breed is yet considered to be but indifferent milkers. Perhaps the best answer to this objection would be a walk through the establishments of our London dairymen.
