SCIENCE AND ART OF AGRICULTURE. U513 at the rate of eight stones per hour ; and that quantity of cut hay is found to be sufficient for sixteenhorses for twenty-four hours. (Quart. Juur. Agr. vol. iv. p. 349.) 8173—256(5. Taylors tub for measuring and weighing com, represented in figs. 1146. 1147. The tube(a) has a movable bottom (b), which, when it is desired to let the corn drop out, is raised by putting the. foot on the pedal (c) which operates on the lever (d). The valve is worked by a spindle, which passesthrough the collar (e). The angles at the bottom of the tube are bevelled off to allow of the free egressof the corn into the sack below it. Of course the tub should be suspended high enough above the floor toallow the corn to escape; and for this purpose a platform (/), ascended by steps, is required, which may beeither fixed or movable. Up this platform the man walks who bears the sack of corn ; and the mouth ofthe sack being previously untied, he shoots the contents verv gently and gradually into the tub. The pre-caution of shooting the corn into the tub gently and gradually is essentially necessary, as otherwise therewill not appear to be full measure. The mode of weighing may be either by Marriotts dial engine, or bya steelyard beam ; the former is the most simple. This tub was invented by Mr. Samuel Taylor, and isused in the extensive malting establishment under his care at Stoke
