The Moving Machine.

The Moving MacuIue.
rnIroR CALIFORNIAN The moving ma
chine is becoming,-in fact, it has already
become, an indispensable "ins:itution to
the farmer. This, like other new inventions,
had to contend with the disbelief and PREF
udices Of the incredulous, and those advo-
Gates Of the " one idea system who are ap-
pareptly blind to the fact that impro rement
il special characteristic Of the age; but it
has cut its way through every opposition,
and Justly claims prominent rank among
meri,orious labor-saving inventions. 1t has
been put to the test and pronounced good.
Indeed. in these war times what could the
farmer do without it Wages are high
$3.50 t. $3.50 per pay, and laborers are
scarce at that.
On the other hand the demand is brisk
for oil the farm produces. Horses, cattle
and sheep are high and advancing and to
keep stock in Vermont we must have hay,
and to have hay, labor is required to pro-
cure it {: hence, we say, in this as in every
other interest the farmer should bring to his
aid every agency and means that will advance
his interests and be benefit to him and his.
With the assistance of this grand labor-sav-
ing implement the farmer is able to harvest
his hay crop with half the hired help usually
required, and with an additional saving of a
large proportion Of the heavy labor of this
important and busy season of the year. Il
necessity is the mother of invention in this
case, let her be praised for so wise concep.
ton and noble an offspring as that with
which she has blessed the farmer and the
world
OF moving machines there are many
names and patents in use. In this vicinity
are the Nanny, Buckeye, Vermont, Vermont
and Buckeye combined, Kirby, Wood, Un'
ion, Hubbard, Farmer pines PATENT, and
perhaps others, all protesting to be "tht
BEST" though the preference among ou
farmers is generally given to the later ane
lighter machines, as the Wood, Union, Hub
bard and Farmer mowers.
Which is the best machine in use is
question often asked and it is an importan
one to every individual who contemplate
buying machine. The best, unquestiona
bly,, is the one which cuts its grass the best
this of all others is the first and most essen
tial consideration. Then follow, ease O
draft, durability, and many other lesser con
veniences and considerations, which only
thorough trial and use can determine.
Every farmer before purchasing shout,
give his individual attention to the subject
see for himself by actual trial or observation
and not rely too much upon the recommen
dations Of agents and those interested in thu
sale Of machines. Of course, every agen
has the 6" best > that is natural. If a new
patent is introduced, give it thorough tria
in light and heavy, dry and wet grass
test its qualities u,o~-ri Thoroughly, ti,rl
use your best judgment and get the best. Tn
best, at whatever cost, in the end will be tn
cheapest. INCOG.
