We would also draw special attention to our CORN DRILLS, which have this season been greatly improved by the substitution of malleable iron in place of cast iron for all the parts liable to breakages. We supplied over 30 last season, all of which have given unqualified satisfaction. All sizes, made from 8 to 20 coulters, Our Corn Drills gained first prizes this season at Timaru, Ashburton, Christchurch, and Dunedin, beating- both the American and English exhibits.
