We take the following description of new feed for saw mills from the Chicago Northwestern Lumberman, which, as will be seen by our remarks at the end of the article, are also man- ufactured in Canada by the Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing Co., of Peterborough :— " Steam feeds have become so well known- and are considered so indispensible in " every well regulated " saw mill, that any improvement in this direction will at once command the attention of every manufacturer of lumber. " Herewith is presented an illustration of a new twin engine feed, which appears worthy of especial notice, and fully entitled to have its merits, as claimed for it by the manufacturers, examined. They modestly claim that it is the simplest, least liable to derangement, most easily and perfectly controlled, most economical in the use of steam, and the cheapest as well as best of all the steam feeds now in the market. The small model placed on exhibition at the exposition at' New Orleans is said to have attracted more attention, and received more encomiums from visitors than any other single machine in the whole saw mill department there. It is the invention of Mr. Albert Cunningham, who also invented the famous " boss dog," and various other machines, all of which have proved eminently practical and successful. " It will be seen from an inspection of the cut, which illustrates a pair of 10x16 inch engines, that the matter of simplicity in engine construction has well nigh reached perfection, there being practically only two moving parts in each engine aside from the crank and shaft. The casting forming the lower part of frame projects at each side of the machine, and forms trunnions or pivots, on which the cylinders are vibrated. The cylinder castings being extended below the parts
