REPoRT.
To the Farmers Of Centre county the undersigned
Judges, appointed ADORE, respectfully report:
That the Mccormick machine OF 1872 performed grass
onIyof 1858 in grain only. Al the other machines per
formed both in grass and grain One end Of the field
heavy crop of timothy and clover; the other end
heavy crop of clover most of which had fallen
the south east. Each machine made three rounds. The
Mccormick machine, attended ny the driver and
10 clear the machine, performed we'll and made good
work the northwest and east, but made long subbe
aud cogged occasionally that of the south side
covered with clover Only cutting in the direction
in which the clover had fallen.
The Nanny mac hine with Wood Improvement, aften-
dd by the drUer alone made good work the three sides
and better work the south side than any machine
the ground and did not clog.
The Hussey machine, attended by driver and raker,
did moving we'll
The Kan machine in great measure, failed; the COM
mttee think principally from want of sufficient motion
in the sickle
To prevent delay the Mccormick machine of 1855 had
fitted up for reaping in the wheat field TO which the
other machines on being changed 10 Reapers, were I'M
madiately transferred. The Mccormick Reaper here
again led off. The committee much pleased with
the operation of the machine Reaper.
The Nanny machine, with Woods Improvement, per
formed we cery ,os both machines removing the sheaf
sufficiently TO the right allow the horses pass with
out It's being removed
Tie Issey did good work. but left the sheaf upon the
track requiring its removal prior to the entry of the next
machine.
The Kan machine again failed, probably owing TO the
great haste in which il pa; together having been
the last machine brought upon the ground.
The committee take pleasure in announcing the Nc
Cormick Improved Machine the best Reaper; the Nanny
machine with Woods Improvement the best .Hower the
NANNY machine. with Woods Improvement, the best
Combined Machine for m0iHg and rdPing, and therefore
best adapted The of the farming community gem
orally; and the Iussey machine useful implement, both
Mower and Reaper, yet in their judgment, exceied
| both by the Nanny and Mccormick machines.
The committee take this opportunity to express their
qualification the very large attendance of the farming
community and deep interest manifested by them
! in the exhibition
IN Of which is most respectfully submitted.
