In no one thing was McCormck's reaper determined
10 have the preference
The American trials in 1852 are equally decisive
See trial al Springfield Ohio, IN June and july 1884, pub
shed in The Western Agreuturist by s, Medary. dated
July l5ih) The committee on reaping machines re-
ported:
MeCormick's reaper repeatedly tried in both
heds ana when the raklng was done oy very expert
hands il performed the work well but STILL in compar
with several others the committee thought this
chine did not quite maintain It's worldenowned rePuta
lion. II cuts the grain very WE'LL good wide swarth,
(sx feet but requires strength OF team than most
others-lhree four horses IN stout gIaR-and much
skill and hard labor the part OF the raker, who rides
backward on The machine, working In slraning posi-
ton.
Dnsmore's self.raker, like several Others does the
cutting part first rate syle and IN addition, rakes off
the grain in very satisfactory manner on the side thus
dispensing with The labor OF and thereby having
superiority over all the machines The rake attachment
OF this machine very ingenious and effective yet sim
pie conrvance, and does not seem liable to get out OF
order"
The committee decided that Dinsmore's Purviances,
and Husseys machines left the grain in the best order
for binding; that Hussey's. Purviance's, and Dns-
gans was best in uneven ground that Hussey's and
Seymour Morgan's were least liable to get out OF
orders that Hussey's cost the least; that Seymour &
Morgans and Dnsmore's required the least power 10
drive them; Dnsmores required the least manual labor.
The first premium, gold medal was awarded to Dins-
more; The second, silver medal, to Hussey nothing to
| Mccormick.
The trial of agricultural implements at Geneva, New
York, in July 1852. resulted equally adverse TO the
claims of McCormick's reaper
Twelve reapers were entered. The committee say
McCormck's machine cut the wheat straw with ac-
curacy and called forth Communications at It's FIRST move
men The entire lot, however, was not cut evenly In
the barley field did not work TO advantage, particularly
in the lodged grain; the gavsls were well laid, During
the action OF the machine the horses were subject TO
heavy side draugh With various and many good points,
this machine has 10 contend with inferior workmanship
and want Of fmness.
at D. Burrrs performed it's work in the most ad
mirabe manners the gaves were well laid, though from
the of delivery at the side twist was observa-
BILE. The workmanship and materials were excellent
the circular apron TOR the side delivery, the balance
wheel and arrangement TO elevate the exterior edge
OF the apron, valuable features"
The committee awarded TO Burrlll Tor the best grain
reaper diploma and $50; 10 ]. II. Many, OF Illinois,
for the second best convertible for moving grass $50
and to Seymour & Morgan. of Brockpori. New York,
$50; and nothing Mccormick 1t is also understood
tina, McCormck's reaper was beaten by Hussey's in
Mary land last summer upon fair trial.
By this evidence it is clearly established that there are
several American machines now manufactured that are
decidedly superior 10 McCormcks These all use the
old and material elements found IN Belts old Scotch ma
chine some using knives the grain, and others the
1 Michigan sickle. All these machines must be thrown
aside unlawful TO use and the workshops where man.
utacured Close and all competition In price ans improve
mems cease. if Mccormick get Congress to revive
and make valid his old patent Oar farmers will be le
at his mercy price, aud men OF inventive genus
must abandon making improvements. and our manufac
tures be left unemployed, if be shall succeed in revvng
dead monopoly through the agency of Congress,
