AND MANUFACTURERS OF ALL THE MOST APPROVEDIMPLEMENTS FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES,
Wouldinvite attention to the position they have taken for superiority in Seed Drills, Manure Distributors, &c., &c. at the Royal, the Bath and West of England, and the Norfolk Agricultural Societies’ Meetings, where they had awarded them the THREE FIRST PRIZES for the best Corn and Seed Drill; the THREE PRIZES for Manure Distributor; PRIZE for Seed and Manure Drill; and HIGH COMMENDATIONS for their General Purpose Drills, Ridge Drill, Horse Hoes, Circular Saw Bench, &c.
Holmes and Sons’ Salisbury first prize drillSALISBURYFIRST PRIZE DRILL.
H. & SONS have been engaged in the manufacture of Drills for the past 32 years, during which time every useful and practical improvement which has suggested itself has been introduced into their manufacture, adapting them to every description of soil, simplifying the different parts, decreasing the cost both in first price, and also in those parts subject to wear or derangement.
Royal Agricultural Society of England—Salisbury Meeting, 1857.The followingPrizes were awarded to Holmes & Sons at the last competition for Prizes—
For the best Corn and Seed Drill
First Prize of £7
For their best Manure Distributor
Prize of £5
Also at the Bath & West of England Agricultural Society’s Meeting,at Newton,June, 1857
For the best Manure Distributor
The First Prize
For the best Corn and Seed Drill
The First Prize
For the best Corn and Seed Drill in Hilly Districts
The First Prize
For their Seed and Manure Drill
The First Prize
Being the fifth year this Drill has taken the Prize of this Society.
Also at the Norfolk Agricultural Show,Swaffham,June, 1857,H. & Sons’ Improved Manure Distributor proved the best Machine for that purpose,and had the Society’s Prize.
Their improved STEAM ENGINES, Portable and Fixed, for durability, efficiency, strength, and small consumption of coal, are not equalled by any other manufacturers.
Fixed Engines of all sizes, and Steam Mills fitted up complete, of the most approved arrangement and best construction, whereby considerable saving of fuel is effected, and durability and efficiency increased. Twelve-Horse Engines doing full duty, with from six to seven cwts. of Coal per day.
The COMBINED PORTABLE THRASHING MACHINE has had much of their attention since being awarded the First Prize Medal for Thrashing Machines at the Great Exhibition, 1851, and they can confidently guarantee them to be the simplest and most expeditious, making the most perfect separation of Corn, Chaff, Colder, and Straw, each being delivered at the most convenient places to take away. They are extremely portable and durable; and are mounted on high wooden carriage wheels.
They would also call attention to their PRIZE CLOVER SHELLER, also adapted for Trefoil; and their WINNOWING and DRESSING MACHINES, of which more than 3,000 have been sent out; their CIRCULAR SAW TABLES, of improved construction; and other improved implements, which, with prices, will be found in Catalogues, sent free by post on application.
H. & SONS, in soliciting a continuance of an extended patronage, beg to state that they have now every facility for executing orders with dispatch, and by the use of the best mechanical tools, in the very best style of workmanship. The greatest care and attention will continue to be used by them in the selection of the very best description of material, and they feel confident their present success is attributable to their attention to this most important point.
Mechanical sawing machine
AS AT WORKAt the Norfolk Agricultural Society’s Meeting at Swaffham, June, 1857;HOLMES AND SONS’Improved Self-Acting Circular Saw Table was the only one Commended by the Judges.At Norwich, 1858, it was also Highly Commended.
These Portable Machines consist of a strong iron frame capable of taking a 48-inch saw, firmly fixed to strong timber rails; can be unloaded and put to work as quickly as a Portable Thrashing Machine; require no fixing, the whole being placed on one frame with timber carriages, &c. attached. The motion for drawing the timber to or from the saw is by gear wheels, and can be varied as required; this arrangement is exceedingly simple, very strong and durable, and can be relied upon better than when driven by a strap and cone pulleys; it has an improved parallel fence which cannot move otherwise than parallel with the saw.
These will be found the most simple and complete saw tables manufactured, and of the very best workmanship. Can be driven by the portable engines of 7 or 8-horse power.
Illustrated Catalogues, with Prices, &c. sent Free by Post on application at the Works.

The portable American grist mill
Now for the first time introduced to the notice of British Agriculturists, is the most SIMPLE and EFFICIENT Grinding Mill ever brought out for Farmers’ Purposes; its extreme SIMPLICITY, portability, and cheapness, gives it a decided advantage over the ponderous machines now used for similar purposes.
