More than a thousand horses were sold-a smaller number than last. year, but as always there was a wide choice. Buyers from Canada found themselves in a very favour- able position with .the exchange much in their favour. ,

Prices did not reach great heights on the opening day. Top prices !or yearling was 5.300 gulneas given Ior a more by Nasrullah. Eight ma-res reached a thousand guineas each and were bought on behalf of a. U. S. trainer. Jim Ryn.

Britain's Livestock In 1951

Britain's Minister at Agdcultiire. Mr. Tom Williams, has warned tar- mers that the present intematlonal situation is putting a. heavy strairi on shipping and that precautionary Incas :3 are I-recess ry to safe- guard cattle ieeding stocks. For the period January - April, 1951:

(1) U.K. farmers will have to provide maintenance requirements plits protein for the tint three- quarters at s. gallon of milk a cow each day. plus cereal tor one and one-eight gallons a cow each day.

(3) The ration for calves of 6-12

months being reared ior 11; or bee! is at the monthly rate at 26- lns. protein -plus 84-lbs. cereals. (3) Plgmeat and egg bonus rat- ions ior the period January-April 1951 will be sold at the rate of 224- lbs. per 8 score (160-lbs.) of pig- meat delivered and 112-lbs. per 80 dozen gradeable eggs delivered.

New Farm Machinery

U. K. Manluiacturers announce the folowing new ias-In equipment A 2-ton per hour capacity 011 tired grain drier, specially designed to deal with all types of cereals. The drier can be as-rarued for using either coke, oil or electricity as the heating medium. and the xumace can readily be adapted Iot alterna- dve fuels. It has been used with success on peas and beans, also small needs such as mustard, lin- seed and clover, as well as cereals. (Makers: Penny as Porter, Ll.d., Lincoln. Canadian agents: Messrs. Sullivan Mill Equipment. Ltd. 637 Davenport Road, Toronto.)

John Allen at sons at Oxford have produced a. trailer seat and hay rake ior attachment to the Allen motor scythe. The trailer seat is provided with 4 x 16 pneumatic tyred vwlheels. it is nicely balanced and can odate a 20-stone operator" quite easily. The seat. as well as the toot-rest. is addustable asin acanaridcanbesetlorward or back to suit the driver's comfort The iramewcmk of the trailer has special iltted holes and the seat pillar has a bracket to which the hay rack can be a in n dew minutes.

A new Dragon Crawler Tractor is constructed around an exceptkmal- ly sturdy hull which takes all run- ning strains. Maintenance is iacll1t- ated by easy access to engine. gear- box, clutch. and back sxle.-Interest- lng ieatures include .clutch and brake steering. swinging arm type pivoted clrswbar and long lite heavy tracks. There is a univeralal joint attachment to each roller frame mounted on rubber bushes thus giving articulation to the roller trams and compensating for the uncveness or the ground surface. Provision has been made tor hy- draulicaily operated bull sngle-doz- er points. A winch giving up to sev- en tons pull can be provid d. both winch and bulldoaer can be fitted to the same tractor. A power take- off assembly with a standard splin- ed shalt can be provided It the rear. (Makers: Vivian Loyd a: co. --Ltdu-Bridge Road. Cain-berlev. Bur- rey.)

UK. Jumping Team Returns From C

Colonel I-tarry Llewelyn, leader of the British Jumping Team which recently took part in international Shows in Canada and the U. S. A.. is now back in Britain. ' speaking at a reception given to mark his return Colonel Llewelyn said: "Our success augurs well for the next Olympics. We want to get to grips with the Mexicans again. The Mexican riders are very good -they are the strongest opposit- ion we have been up against-kt we shall beat them at the Olympic Games."

Speaking of his Canadian trip, Col. Lleweiyn said that the,hospit- ality he and his team had receiv- ed in Canada had been wond -'ul -"it was more than princely, it was sabotage," he commented amid laughter. The horses had had a

leading manufacturers have enab- led a standard timber tractor to be exported in record time to an area of southern Rhodesia where dust would normally ruin an engine in under 500 miles. The tractor, a four wheel drive Unlpower Forest- er built for the Coinrneroial Motor 'rran.sport Exliibitioxr by Universal Power Drives l..td., was bought by the oldies oi the High Commis- sioner for southern Rhodesia dur- ing early Ootober. Then began a race against time to ship the tractor from the Loodon dncks on December 4th.

The .4-cylinder oil engine was dust-pr-ooled and an air cleaner oi the oil bath type titted to filter air entering the engine. special one-way valve breathers were used for the transmission units to expel air without allowing dust to enter and the radiator was iitteri with a pressure cap covered by a. hinged dust shield.

A double root was fixed above the cob as a sun shield and special self-locking capped nuls were used on the wheels. TI-opicalised elect- rical equipment and special nickel- iron batteries with a capacity of 140 amp-hours were also fitted. The engine was set to operate in

New speedy Planter

Anew invention to speed up planting is now being marketed by an Edinburgh. Scotland-, iirm. It is the work of Mr. William S. Ritchie, who, in 1946, bought a. multl-planter. He 1'ou.nd that, al- though the machlne was an im- provement on the slow-hsnd-dib- bling process, it was still too slow. As a result he began making experi- ments to speed up the process and eventually succeeded in producing a "teed" consisting or two heavy soft rubber discs.

,With this inventim attached to a multl-planting machine, one worker can plant cabbages or oth- er plants at a rate of 2,000 an hour. (Manufacturers are: A. P. Reid, ' Edinburgh).

l Craft or The Saddlemakers

Fine specimens of the saddler.s' crait will be shown at the British Industries Fair (Earls Court and Olympia, london,. and Castle Eromwich. Birmingham, April 30th to May 11th). and the "sec- rets" will be there for all to see. They are as simple as the crafts- men say they are. and they are coupled with good design. British leather is of outstanding excellence, perhaps, because more time is spent in curing it. Ilb-om the sad- dlemakeI-'s point of ew, the best plg skins-which oov r the seats of the best saddles - come from Scotland.

Saddlomaklng is an age-old craft. It was well established in London by the year ll15.'A. D. Apprentices to the craft spend five years at least learning their trade. They must know how to select the best parts or a pig akin tor the sent. and s cowhide lor the flaps ot a saddle: they must know how to stretch the loathe so that every part of it is subjected to an equal strain in use: they must be able to stitch it so 1 ..m..............m....m.-.
