Company, 31 Bedford Street North Melbourne. Having just returned from the World's Fair at Chicago, and the Royal Agricultural Society's Show of England, where I saw most of the Reapora and Binders known to Science, and having visited some of the largest Harvesting Machinery Manufactories in America, we have arrived at the conclusion that the WALTER A. WOOD SINGLE APRON REAPER AND BINDER will best fill the requirements of our him. We have sesn and felt the evil and ex pense of running different makes of machines, and we are determined in future to stick to one stjle and make, and to carry out these views we are selling our present Binders (having three different makes), and have bought eight of WALTER A.

Rule, Ashburton :—The filter o onsists of a cylin drical vessel of fine gr ainsd limestone, fitted into an outer cj Under of glazed stoneware, the latter set' /ing to collect and retain the filtered wai er. The idea of using a porus stone in t his particular form is a very good one, gw ing the perfection of mechanical filtering;*together with greafc facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every, variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with, the most satisfactory results. Becent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is much more effective t;han was formerly supposed, even whea soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stnppio g the germs of. disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and is very neatly got op. A. W. BIOKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
