Waters steam plow (which has not yet
received the honors of christening) occupied
much longer time in getting up steam,
owing probably to the fact that all parts Of
the machine were not in working order until
the wheels were put in motion. 1t is quite
new, several parts of the machinery having
been put together on the Fair Ground.
When everything was in readiness, steam
was applied, the monstrous driving wheels
revolved and the machine moved slowly and
steadily over the ground.
A roundabout course was not taken, as
with the Lancaster, for the purpose of
SHOWING off," but the machine proceeded
directly to its plow-gangs. which stood on
the opposite side of the field. An immense
crowd of people followed and surrounded it,
watching its every movement with eager in
terest. The plow-gangs 1.-TWO in number)
are very unlike that OF Fawkes' machine.
Each consists of seven pillow shares, firmly
set in heavy frame Of wood and iron, and
so arranged that line drawn in front of
the coulters forms the hypothenuse Of tri-
angle, the base Of which is the line of the
first furrow. The shares are raised or de-
pressed by means of large screws at the cor
ners of the frame.
1t was with great difficulty that the crowd
could be kept back to give room for the ma
chine, and from its slowness in getting under
way, and their own unnecessary excitement,
doubts were expressed by some of the
lookers,on as to the machines ability to
operate. But at length start was made,
and the machine moved steadily forward with
a power which seemed to be irresistible.
The burrows were cut to the depth of full
five inches, and to the full width of nineteen
feet, the sod from every turrow being turned
as smoothly and handsomely as the best
plowboy in the country could have turned
it in the usual way. When the machine
stopped, the enthusiastic huzza of the crowd
indicated their satisfaction at the result.
Waters machine moves much slower than
Fawkes', but plows Gland" of considerably
more than double the width, and, by com.
parison of the blowing done by each yester-
day afternoon, does its work in much
more thorough manner. Its power is tire.
mendous, and astonished every one who be-
held its operation. 1t was worked with 15O
pounds of steam to the square inch. The
inventors claim that it will plow 100 acres
in day, but this probably is theory and
not practice. Judging, however. from the
demonstrations yesterday, it is likely to
carry the farmers, if it does not the pre-
MUM.

two Secretaries of Legation, and attdche and

Editors Pioneer 8. Democrat:
My attention has been called to a short
article in the st. Paul Daily Times of the
oath ultimo, headed "The war on JAMES H.
BAKER" In that article the editor asks en-
quiringly-
Perhaps the chief editor of the PIONEER
could tell. if he so pleased, who it is of his par
ty in Minnesota that has received through the
instrumentality of present and former editors
of the Ohio Statesman part Of Breslin's stealings
what four or five Minnesota DemOcrats-men
now in high standing with the party-make up
"pOny purse of fifty to a hundred dollars
month to help keep Breslin mum and out of the
way in Canada.
In short, does the PIONEER wish to dive into
this Ohio-Breslin matter. and rip up the Mime
sofa Democratic connections with it If so,
zoe are ready and posted.
Our neighbor, however, before he COM
mences. had better consult with Wash Cones,
of Muscatine, Sausage" Sawyer, of Otter
Tail, and sundry other Ohoans of Minnesota"
Now, Mr.. Editor, the insinuation and in
ference of the Times, is that l have had
some connection with the Ohio defalcation,
and that am now contributing hush.money
to keep BREsL1N quiet or "mum." The
editor says he is "ready and posted" now,
under my own signature, deny the charges
meanly insinuated; and-as l have a right
to-demand the proof of my completely or
knowledge of the BREsLIN defalcation, other
than the public records show.
I shall wait a reasonable time for the
Times expose. If it is not made, you will
hear from me again.
As to his low, BLACKBOARD prefix to my
name which he has chosen to adopt, he is
welcome to all he can make out of it. That
same game has been tried before.

Trial of Steam PlOVvs at the United
States Fair.

From the Chicago Times of Friday.
About noon, the steam plows began to
get up steam, preparatory to the exhibition
of their abilities in blowing. The clan
CASTER" Mr.. Fawkes' machine, was the first
to get ready for operation. The machine
started, (the plows not being attached) and
amid the huzzas of the immense crowd by
which it was surrounded, moved off, taking
a circutous course about the grounds, turn
ing angles and curves in any direction and
in remarkably short space with great ap-
parent ease, and finally proceeded to the
spot where the gang of plows stood. These
being attached, the machine was again put
In motion and passed in straight line
across the area enclosed by halfmile
course, leaving behind it series of burrows,
in all about eight feet in width The ma
chine performed its work easily, and, so far
as it went, we'll but the pillow shares only
turned up the earth to the depth of about
two inches. 1t is claimed that the machine
will make the burrows of any depth that
may be desired, and, Theoretically, this is
undoubtedly the case The plow-gang con-
sists of six common plows, minus the ham
dies, which are secured in frame at the
required distance from each other, and fas-
tened to the machine by chain from the
end of the beam. By elevating and depress.
ing the beam, the depth of the furrow may
lie regulated, and the pillow shares also ac-
commodated to inequalities in the surface of
the ground.
The machine moved, both with and with
out the plows attached, with the rapidity of
about mile in six or eight minutes. At
this rate, the machine should pillow between
sixty and seventy acres in day of ten
hours, but if in practice it shall accomplish
one half of this, the invention may be
claimed as triumph of inventive genius
and mechanical skill

COMBINATION PATENT"
UPRIGHT STEAM SAW MILL.

This mill commands the universal admiration Of saw
mill men everywhere. As its merits become known, the
demand for il increases. Orders are coming from every
section Of this country, Canada, Cuba, and South Ameri-
there is timber to be sawed, no matter of what character
how hard, how large or how small. Two extensive ma
nufactories are now engaged in building these mills, yet
u is almost impossible to turn them out as fast as they
are wanted. They embrace several valuable patents
and improvements, and combine all Of the following ad-
SimPlcity-Both the mill and power are so simple in
their construction that any one Of ordinary mechanical
ability can comprehend them, put them up and run them
without danger or difficulty.

quickly taken apart and put together, thus rendering ii
