The rake is attached to an endless chain that

arms Of the rake steadily forward, and st the
same time the motion aud gearing IL such that

HEADERS.
Three headers entered the list. Uaines,
Haw1ey 4 Co. Of P. kin, the Messrp. Mabeny
and G. 81 Rugg. These used four horses, each
to draw the header, cutting ten-foot sWa.h
with three wagons 10 b snl up the cut sr+tn, re-.
quirlng, in al. eight horses and seven men, and
are capable of putting up twenty acres day
On The trial MI. Maoerry cut bis three acres 10
fifty eight minutes, including a stoppage Of
five minutes for q wagon to haul off the cut
grain.
Throughout the whole trial the COM
binsd machine Of Seymour, Morgan & Allen
OF Brockport, attracted no small share Of the
public attention. It has self-raker some
what improved from the old s1ark mouth OF
1854. go cs11ed from its manner OF pouncing
on the cut bundle and sweeping 1t from the
platform.
It is one, If not the Oldest Of The selt-rakers,
and has been constantly growing in favor.
For the past eight years it has been familiar
In all parts OF the State. In the trial 1t cut
| one and eighty-four hundreth acres In sixty

+! cut, and is worked with two horses, is With
out the usual side draft, is easily adjusted b.
the aid Of q lever; in fact the driver, either b,
hand or foot has complete control Of the
mvehine. The machine is 30 evenly balarcet
on the driving wheel that the horses neck,
are relieved from all pressure. Tue MACHINE
in all Of it's parts, is Of good material ant

year se1f-Iakers have been attracting more
than the usual attention, and the fact tha
the agent present has, during the week, soil
three day Of this machine, speaks highly il

| MOVING,
The closing test was moving in pra;ri
grass. Tbs ground selected WAS sue
poeed St3 that onehaif se pu Of tie the %acniMns 1s M
could stand the test but the whole fourtee
that entered, accomplished the task, of cours
with more or less credit. We could not So
that any fall OF doing talr work, while SOM
done it in superior manner. Among thes
we are proud to name the self:raker as
mower Of the Wood patent, and the selfrake
Of Seymour, Morgan & Allen, the Csyue
Chief and the combined machines of John T
Nanny, These all done their work in the bes
Style Of the art and nothing short Of seiel
t,fic test could settle their relative valus
Among the machines used as mowers ex'l,
! sively, we may name the Cayuga Chief an
the Wood patent
Time viii not permit us to say more at til
time. We therefore tender our thanks to D
Reynolds, whose 1atch-striRg was out;
President Van Epps, for many kind attention
especially near The close Of the trial, as b
other duties became less pressing; to n
, Pitts Of the Nachnsa House, for good che
