State Fair Items,


from one-half second to three min
utes, setting at defiance all philOso
ply and common sense. Churn
with ali sorts of high sounding
names, but when it came to an ae
tuaI test the "UniOn" as usual cam
off with flying colors.
Thousands Of people became ae
auainted with this useful invention
during the Far, who were fully con
vineed Of its merits and we expect
that this exhibition will greatly in
crease its sales.
WoOLEN MANUFACTURES. = Iu
this department the Tifin WoOlen
Mills succeeded admirably. They
look the first premium ON each Of the
articles exhibited, TKeeds, Flannels
Cloakings, and Stockings, and the
Sweepstakes on best display oi
Woolen goods.
This additional triumph of our
mills must be highly gratifying to
the proprietors, and we hope thai
their energy and success may be ap'
preeiated by our citizens. Their
goods we're admired by all who in
spected them. and their reputation
has extended in every direction, so
that in many instances they have
wholly superseded goo of Eastern
Manufacture. In point of style, col
or, or quality of material they can
not be excelled.
The "EAGLE" BEE HIvE.--This
popular invention of our fellow towns
man, Abner Michel, received, as it
will deserved, the First Premium,
which Under the circumstances,
speaks loudly in its favor. Ere
quently an article receives premium
when it may be really inferior, in
consequence of lack of competition,
but in this case the field was strong
ly contested. It has now been de-
cided to be superior to the "Lang-
stroth" the "Maine State,' the
"King.' Shaffcr's and all others
which have preceded it, and we do
not see how it can be easily improved
1t is a sure preventive from mil
lels and worms, is easily accessible
for the purpose of removing the hon
ey, is readily managed in handling
the swarms, and. in fact, possesses all
the good qualities, and none of the
Objectionable characteristics Of other
patent hives. They are made and
sold in this city.
"GErsER." "A rather peculiar
looking, finished piece Of Machinery
surrounded by large crowd of in
telligent men, attracted our attention.
Upon a close examination we ascer-
tanned that it was the celebrated
''Geiser" Thresher and Separator,
by Wheeler, Melick
& Co., Albany N. Y, and exhibited
by A. G. Barber, the Agent for the
State of Ohio, and as we knew no
more about Threshiug Machines than
its agent does about printing, he
kindly explained its various points
Of excellence. From the fact that
HE attsation was called off quite fire.
quently by other parties who seemed
to take deeper interest in farming
than it was expected that
we could, we remember only the fol-
lowing points, which We give briefly
It thoroughly cleans grain ready
for market without the subsequent
use of the tanning Mill, entirely sep
arating all foreign substance, cheat
Or chess, which no other machine
can do.
1t has no selves, screens, aprons or
apparatus whatever, thereby
doing away with the disagreeable
racket aud wear to which the opera
tors and Machine are subjected un-
der the old method.
1t needs no repairs except cylin-
der teeth and gearing, consequently
no time is lost by frequent break
downs as is always the case with 9TH
sr styles.
A revolving register secured to
the side of the machine, for chang
ing half bushels, which keeps correct
count.
The elevator never clogs. as there
is but little tailings.
All this we learned, and then ceas-
ed to wonder at the crowd of far
mers and mechanics who admired and
this invention. 1t is
neat in appearance, and all things
the cheapest Threshiug
Machine now Manufactured.
THE IRON KING PowER.--In con-
nection with the "Geiser" was the
Iron King Power, and from what we
could learn, it is aptly named. 1t is
on four wheels, on which it
stands when in operation, making it
more convenient than the old style
Horse Powers. 1t is neat in ap-
pearance, very compact, and made of
the best material No extra wagon
is required for its transportation.
Mr.. Barber, by his courteous de-
pertinent and kind attention to all
who examined his machinery, won
many friends, both for himself and
the Separator and Power, and we
have no doubt that he will succeed
largely in their sale the coming
season.
