ELECTRIC SHEARING MACHINE. For some months put, writes "Bruno " in The Autitalctdan, I have heard of a i,ew shearing machine, which was to be worked by electricity, aud from what those who had seen the machine said of it I waa under the impression that it would prove of tht greatest advantage to the owners of both large and small flocks. Seeing that elec tricity is employed to do so many desorip- - tious of work, the wonder is not thai) electricity is employed to work a shearing machine, but that it has not bten need for this purpose long ago. All the shearing machines now in use in Australia require strong shafting along the shearing floor, the working of which by means of • powerful steam-engine has prored too much for many a woolshed in which shearing by machinery has been practised. The cost of an engine , to operate the shafting is not felt on a large) j sheepwalk, but it places the shearing* ' maobine beyond the reach of the farmer with {- from 500 to 1000 sheep. The breakages that occur io shearing by machinery have pre* j judioed ninny floAJMMten «g*in«tit, and on \ some large estates the old fashioned shear* are still used, lam nnder the inprMuoa , that all-tfais will be altered in a very shorS; time. THE ELECTRICAL WOOL CLIPPEB. j On Tuesday afternoon I accepted an invi tation to witness the trial of a new sheering . \ machine, which has been named- by the * patentee "The Electrical Wool Clipper.* 1 j This machine possesses many important ad* j vantages, which cannot fail to recommend it 1 to sheep-owners. With this machine tht re ia no need for any shafting to try the strength of the woolshed. All that is re quired to carry the power is to run % couple of wires along the side of the shearing floor. There is no strain, and the oldest and - 1 weakest building on the farm may be em ployed as a shearing shed without risk to the building, and at a very trifling cost. At each shearing stand two wire 3 run down from . the main wires overhead and through these ' wires is carried the electricity to work the cutter. Another very great advantage pos sessed by the new machine is that it can be worked by very small power. Each horse power is capable of operating twenty cutters. On a farm the ordinary horseworks can be employed to work the dynamo, or, better still, a tread power for one or two horses or bullocks may be used. THB WORKING OF THE MACHINE. ; The tri.<l 1 witnessed on Tuesday took j place at the establishment of Messrs Jaquee Bros., engineers, Coppin street, Richmond t and all the preparation made was to run a ; couple of email wires from the engine house, , where the dynamo was situated, aoross ft yard to an open iron shed. For a few feet back from where the wires are attached to the handle the wires are twisted into an ' insulated cord. The cutter is larger than , that of the Wolseley machine, and is of ft more clumsy appearance. It appears to be heavier, but it is really lighter than the Wolseley. The handle is oval in shape, aud ehiud this there is a small cylinder, the -ides of which arc made of a clobo iron net work. In this cylinder are the works which operate the cutter. The motion of the . woiks draws air in at the end and expels it through the network. This constant current of air keeps the works cool, and effectually prevents that heating of the handles which has often proved au inconvenience to the " shearer. The tension screw ib let into the back part of the handle, is completely out of ( the way of the fkece, und does not catoh in wool. To prevent the insulated cord con taining the wires proving an inconvenience to the shearer, a small cord ia tied to it ft few- feet from the handle, which, passing through two pulleys overhead, and having ft light weight at the other end, keeps the insulated cord moderately taut, and gives and takes wiih the motion of the shearer. Close by the shearer's stand is a small switchboard, where, by merely working ft button, the power can be turned on or off at will. Attached to the switchboard is ft < resistance coil, by means of which the speed of the cutter can be checked or increased ftl desired. Should the shearer suddenly require <ouse both hands, he can lay the cutter oft the floor with safety, as it remains where it is placed, The handpiece at present in urn is somewhat clumsily made, but that is ft matter that can be easily remedied whea' they are made in large numbers. The cutter is almost identical with that used in the Wolseley machine. ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR THE MACHINE. The advantages claimed for the new machine are that it can be put up in an| building, no matter how weak it may be j that the power required is small, and can be as readily supplied on a farm as on a large sheepwalk.; and that the cost of fitting U simpler and much cheaper than any other shearing machine at present in use. The cur rest of electricity .employed to work each cutter is too email to give anything like ft serious shock to one handling the nafceS wires, and there is no necessity for the shearer's hand to come in contact with thl wires where they are attached to the end oi the hahdh*. In the trial 1 saw the machine worked admirably, and the shearer who shore the sheep (a first-class workman) spoke very highly of it. There is apparently very little iv this machine to get out of order* and if it turns out as well as it promises, it should come into favour with all olasseiigj flockmasters,
