Uarpantsr,s Automalio Grain Binder.


We have before referred to this newly
invented agricultural machine, which bids
fair 10 make great revolution in harvest
ing. This machine was on exhibition at
the State Fair, at Madison, and received the
communication Of thousands We clip tie
following from the Madison JouraaJ;
"lne three days trial Of s. d Carpenters
Automatic Grain Binderat our State Fair,
resulted in a decided success The crowd
was With aud around the Bindet---the crowd
discussed It, and 50 far as We know or hear,
the crowd Enthusiastically endorse the Bind
or. Carpenters auditors We're Of both sex
es, the farmers wives seemed to enjoy the
prospect Of five less harvest hands per day
TO e0ok Tor For hours together, . deep,
dense mass suuoupded Carpenter and bis
machine, so that ho had hardly space to
move in, and was in a state Of profuse per-
splraton by constant application OF muscle
aud lungs Hundreds came from different
parts III this aud adjoining States expressly
TO see the Binder One manufacture came
al the way from Philadelphia; another
from Wooster, Mass expressly TO see this

lead, aud all seem 10 have tue utmost CON
tidence That his invention is the dawn Of "a
great revolution III grain harvesting This

g 10 reference to Carpenters Automatic
Grain Binder your Committee feel that
something more than 4 mere First Prize il

number Of failures IN various parts OF the
couutry, is destined TO take rs rank among
the substantial auor saving machines So
long looked for by Che agTouituraiist. The
machine is calculated to do all the work,
from the cutting Of the grain to the bind

the binding is concerned, the machine seem'
to work perfectly, Oindng the bundles neat

grain per day, which would otherwise so t
the grousd as wasted This feature seems
a decided desideratunl, and should recon-
mend the Builder to general use, If for NJ
other reason The whole machinery seems
simple, and not liable to get out Of repair
The Inventor has also very simple pair 0
uippers provided with spring, that cut

Grain Binder to the trial Of all interested
