SMITH AND ASHBY,
Agricultural Implement Manufacturers,
STAMFORD, LINCOLNSHIRE,

Beg to direct attention to their celebrated HAYMAKING MACHINES, Patent Steel Tooth HORSE RAKES, Patent Wheel HAND RAKES, New Patent Improved CHAFF-CUTTING MACHINES, Oil Cake Mills, and Horse Works, They also invite special notice of their New TWO-AND-A-HALF HORSE PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE, for agricultural and general use, with compact Thrashing Machine, Grinding Mill Chaff Cutter, Root Pulper, Cake Mill, Corn Crusher, and Circular Saw Bench to attach to ditto. Now exhibiting at their stand, No. 27, in the Show-yard.

[Picture: Smith & Ashby’s original patent haymaker]

This is the Machine that took the £5 prize against Mr. Nicholson’s Haymaker, at the GREAT WATERFORD TRIAL, last August (1857), immediately after the Salisbury Show. The above trial was conducted under the direction of the same Judge who was engaged at the Royal Society’s Trials at Salisbury. The circumstance proves that Smith and Ashby’s Machine is the best Haymaker in use. This celebrated Machine has taken Thirty-one First-class Prizes, and has stood the test of twelve years.

N.B.—S. & A. are now constructing all their Haymakers on their original patent principle, and exactly like the one that took the Prize at Waterford; and they warrant every Machine they send out. Price £15 15s.

☞ Smith & Ashby’s Haymaker has just taken the Prize of the Royal Bath and West of England Society, at Cardiff.

SMITH & ASHBY’S PATENT HORSE RAKE FOR HAY, CORN, COUCH GRASS, STUBBLE, &c.

* * * * *

SALISBURY REPORT, 1857.—Messrs. SMITH AND ASHBY’S Horse Rake, with Patent Steel Teeth, was next tried. It is the old original Stamford Rake improved. It is light, but works remarkably well. The teeth are made of steel. It drew up heavy grass better than any other, and it clean-raked admirably; it is also adapted for twitch or scutch grass. A prize was awarded.—_See Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England_, 1857.

This Rake has taken the First Prize of the Royal Society of Ireland two years in succession—at Athlone, 1856, and at Carlow, 1855—against all the best rakes in the kingdom; it has also received the Certificate of Honour from the London, the Dublin, and the Paris Agricultural Exhibitions, and above Twenty Prizes from various other Societies. Price £7 10s. If with Steel Teeth, £8.

Smith & Ashby’s New Two-and-a-half Horse
PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE,

which for power and cheapness surpasses everything of the kind yet brought out. It is adapted for the purpose of driving Chaff Cutters, Corn Crushers, Grinding Mills, Oil-cake Breakers, Thrashing Machines, Root Pulpers, Circular Saws, Pumps, &c., &c. Price £65.

SPECIMEN OF TESTIMONIALS.

“_Westwood_, _Bradford_, _Wilts_, _Jan._ 31, 1858.

“GENTLEMEN,—Having now worked your little Engine for the last month,
and having found it quite capable of doing more than I expected, I
write to inform you that I am perfectly satisfied with it. I have
attached it to my Thrashing Machine, and find that by working up to
35 lb. to 40 lb. pressure, it performs its work in first-rate style.
I have fitted a pulley of 6½ inches diameter on the drum spindle, and
can thrash three sacks an hour of wheat or barley with ease. JOHN
SPACKMAN.”

SMITH & ASHBY’S PATENT CHAFF CUTTERS,

Universally acknowledged to be the most simple, and at the same time they are well known to be amongst the most efficient and most noted Chaff Cutters in the world. They are fitted with S. & A.’s new Patent Presser for preventing breakage when over fed, and also with their Patent Safety Apparatus for preventing accidents to the men employed to feed them.

For Prices and Testimonials, see S. & A.’s Catalogue, to be had, post free, on application to RUTLAND TERRACE IRON WORKS, STAMFORD, LINCOLNSHIRE.

TO TOURISTS & TRAVELLERS,

Visitors to the Sea Coast, and to those who enjoy the Fashionable Promenade, the Ride and Drive; in all cases Fervid Heat, and its concomitant Dust, materially injure the Skin, producing Sunburn, Tan, Freckles, and Discolorations of an almost indelible character. To obviate and eradicate these baneful results, recourse may with confidence be had to

ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR,

an Oriental and Botanical Preparation. Whether resorted to in its specific character as a thorough purifier of existing defects of an eruptive nature, and discolorations of the skin, or as a benign Preserver and Promoter of its already bright and glowing tints this,

ELEGANT TOILET REQUISITE

has, in every instance, maintained its claim to the title of the
“UNFAILING AUXILIARY OF FEMALE GRACE.”

During SUMMER and AUTUMN, which are peculiarly the seasons of Fashionable Movements, the invigorating and refreshing properties of ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR will be found singularly agreeable to

LADIES TRAVELLING.

The effects produced by temporary exposure to solar heat, upon the Face, Neck, Arms, and Hands being neutralized, and the cloud induced by relaxation and languor dispelled by its power of sustaining a perfect elasticity of the skin; without which certain deterioration takes place; thus in the usual periodical visits made to the coast, Rowlands’ Kalydor is indispensable as a preservative of the skin after

SEA BATHING,

from the irritation caused by the chemical action of the saline vapour.

CAUTION:—The words “ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR” are on the Wrapper, and
“A. ROWLAND & SONS” in red ink at foot. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per
bottle.

* * * * *

The heat of Summer frequently communicates a dryness to the hair, and a
tendency to fall off, which may be completely obviated by the use of

ROWLANDS’ MACASSAR OIL,

A delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation, and as an
invigorator and purifier of the Hair beyond all precedent.

* * * * *

Nor at this season of the year can we be too careful to preserve the Teeth from the deleterious effects of Vegetable Acids (the immediate cause of Tooth-ache) by a systematic employment, night and morning, of

ROWLANDS’ ODONTO.
OR, PEARL DENTIFRICE,

a White Powder, compounded of the rarest and most fragrant exotics. It bestows on the Teeth a Pearl-like Whiteness, frees them from the Tartar, and imparts to the Gums a healthy firmness, and to the Breath a grateful sweetness and purity. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Sold by A. ROWLAND & SONS, 20, Hatton Garden, London,
and by Chemists and Perfumers.

STATEMENTS OF THE “LONDON TIMES.”

The City Article of the “London Times” of the 24th July, 1156, states that the transactions of the Royal Insurance Company “appear to have been of a perfectly satisfactory character.” It includes the following statements confirmatory of that opinion:—

PREMIUMS.

The Premiums of Nine Offices enumerated, are stated to £824,924 be Of which The Royal alone amount to 371,957 being 82 per Cent. of the accumulated Premiums of the remaining Eight Companies.

EXPENDITURE.

_The Times’_ Article exhibits the Expenditure likewise of the “ROYAL” in most favourable contrast to that of others. The statement of “The Times” has elicited the following remarks from a contemporary:—Here again, the Royal Insurance Company occupies a position of honourable pre-eminence; for while its expense of management, spread over a period of three years, has been less than 20 per Cent., those of five other offices, extending over an equal time—for we omit those which have been established within three years, or we might make a much stronger case—have varied from 22 to74 per Cent., and in one case have been as high as 111 per Cent. on the receipts.

RESOURCES.

In like manner, the entire Funds in hand of thirteen offices are quoted, in “The Times,” at £1,238,688, including the Royal, which alone is £372,394, and which is, therefore, equal to 43 per Cent. of the accumulated funds of the remaining twelve offices, viz. for the Year 1855. Since increased to £600,000.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1856.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

“In directing the attention of the Proprietors to the continued and
continuing increase of the Fire Department, the Directors on this
occasion prefer to cite the proofs afforded by public Official
Documents rather than to offer anticipations founded solely on their
own investigations.

“They are now enabled to exhibit the advance in the British Fire
Business of the Company, on the indisputable evidence of the
“Parliamentary Return of Duty paid to Government” in the year 1856,
recently ordered to be printed by the House of Commons.

“The Statistics of that Return establish the fact, than which none
can be conceived more fitted to prove that No Insurance Company,
ancient or modern, is advancing more speedily than the Royal
Insurance Company in the confidence of the British People.
