GRAIN BINDERS are fast becoming a
necessity with every economical farmer,
and the question is often asked, which is
the best binder? We will not undertake
to answer, but would call attention to the
following from the Madison, Wis Argue
and Democrat promising that the agent
for the machines therein named will call
on the farmers Of this county in short
time.
In Agricultural Implements the show
is good, Reapers, Threshing Machines
Binders, &c, are on exhibition, one Of
which we may notice particularly. This
is Burson's American Grain Binder; it is
adapted to any harvester, and with one
mans work will bind 20 sheaves per min
ute This Binder has been worked on
Falvey's Reaper, and is pronounced the
best in use, and will be generally applied
to Reapers before next harvest, It saw
cs much in time and grain, binding clean
as fast as any reaper can cut. The cost
of the Binder S35, will be saved in ten
days use in the grain that would other
wise be lost.
1t is an invention that will lead the
farmer in using it to look upon the in
ventor as benefactor. 1t is simple in
construction, and made of most durable
material
We notice this particularly, because no
premium is offered for this much needed
appendage to the Reaper.
Speaking Of Reapers-Falvey's "Bad-
ger State Reaper" is on exhibition, and
Tom himself is with it. The crowd of
admiring farmers around this institution
speaks volumes in its favor. Falvey is
we'll known to the farmers of the State,
both BY his own merits and through those
Of his Reaper. The one on the grounds
shows the Improvements he has made
during the last year, and those who have
them in use say their already superior ex-
celence is enhanced, if possible by the
extension dividing board the extra sec,
ton beyond the swath, &c F., These ma
chimes are the most used Of any N the

EFFECT OF AN EARTHQUAKE ON AN ARTISAN
WELL.-The Charleston Mercury says: The most
signincan phenomenon, if 1t can be attri buted to
the earthquake, occurred at the Artesan we'll 1t
Is Well known that the city has been tubing the
well with lO]t inch iron pipes. On the 3ist day
OF last March this tubing had reached the depth
Of so feet below tue surface and there it has since
remained. The excavation or boring, six inches
IN diameter, had been previously carried down to
depth OF $50 feet The utmost resources ofVhe
mechanics have been expended in endeavors to
remove the obstruction and sink the tubing
further, but all in vain. Platforms have been
erected, and large amounts of iron and wood
weighing several tons have repeatedly been placed
upon H. but ii would not and did not settle the
breadth Of a hair. On Thursday during the af-
ternoon. previous to the earthquake. the tubing
commenced settling, very slow at first, and then,
with Perceptible slide. the upper end which had
projected about four feet above the surface Of the
ground, disappeared, leaving the superintendent
weight, which had been resting upon it all day.
upon the ground. After removing the rubbi SID
aud sounding for the top of the tubing 1t was
found to have gone down distance of thirty feet
That this sinking was caused by the s1me agency
as the subsequent quake, We do not say, but leave
the tracing q their connection to the more scien
tihc and wen Informed. Certainly the connection
Is Intimate enoue b to attract attention.
