What the Ashland Machine Com
pany Claim.
At the trial Of machines near Gallon
between the Wooster and Ashland
machines, the Ashland gained a COM
plete victory for clean nubblng, hull
ing and separating, as the following
decision rendered by the two gentle
men who were appointed to examine
the straw will show. The points of
excellence were for clean hulling, nub-
bling and separating, and rapid work.
GALLON, O., Sept. Sth, 1871
At the trial between the Ashland
and Wooster combined clover huller,
on the farm of Mr. Beach, four miles
west of Gallon, Sept. 5, 1871, we
were selected to carry away and ex
anime the straw threshed by the two
machines. and we give it as our de
cision that the Ashland machine nub-
bed, hulIed and separated from the
straw in a complete and workmaDlike
manner, while the Wooster machine
left a great quantity of seed in the
chaff and also on the straw Before
the trial commenced it was agreed be
tween the agents that each machine
should hull the chafi' and straw which
had been threshed by the other ma
chine but after the Ashland machine
had finished its run, the chaff was so
clean that the Wooster agents utterly
refused TO comply with that part of
the contract. We also conside.. the
trial to have been a very partial one
in favor of the Wooster machine, the
trial taking place on n farm where the
owner of the seed was q Wooster
agent:
Signed Henry Albright,
Philip Rench.
The Ashland agents sold three ma
chimes at full list prices, while the 9th
err machine was offered at less than
$500 TO effect a sale.
DON'T FAIL TO READ THIS.
1t vas agreed that the Ashland and
Wooster Threshers & Hullers of clio
yer seed, should have another trial at
the barn of Mr.. Chas, Myers, near
Gallon, with the understanding that
whichever machine did the work the
best, and in a workmanlike manner.
they, Mr.. Myers & Co., would buy
that machine. To this proposition
the Wooster agents backed square
out.

GALLON, O., Sept. 20, 1871.
EDITOR Ashland T1MEs.-In Your
paper published Sept. 18th, 1871, APP
pears a statement signed Henry ALI
bright and Philip Rench. Said state
ment refers to a trial between an
ashland" and q Wooster Clover
Huller. In justice to myself and 9TH
ers, I wish to say that 1 was called
upon by Jacob Christman and an
Ashland Machine Agent, whose name
think is Goucher, and urgently re
luested to sign q statement concern
the working of the Hullers on that
day. I at first declined to sign any
such document; but finally, by much
persuasion consented to do SO, and it
in your paper very differently
rom my understanding of the facts in
he case. AS to the nubbing and iIul-
ing and blowing seed out in the chaff,
do not think that the "Wooster" left
my more seed in the chaff than the
Ashland" did, consid, ring The amt
hreshed the Wooster" threshing
vice as last as the ashland" and
lot cutting the seed, while the cash
did cut a large percentage ct the
ced threshed, which OF course would {
lot he seen as Whoke seed in the chaff.
The nubbing was we'll done by both l
machines. l do not know anything '
bout any contract having been made I
'efore the hulling commenced, by the I
gents, Tor the hulling of the chatf by
ach others machines, but heard it 6
poken of afterwards by both parties, ,
understood them that it was not I
while to do it. 8
/ was not selected to carry away I
examine the straw threshed by g
two N achin-s, but was simply re 9
uested by Mr.. Beach to help take I
he straw away from the machines i
OF being made to say that the q
'ial was partial in favor of the "Woos- IL
II" machine, l will most emphatically {
ate that I believe the trial to have :,
impartial and fair, as the agents b
both machines had skiliful work E
len to operate them, with equal facil- I

Sept. 2lst, 1871. g
I have carefully perused the above
atement, made and signed by Philip e
each, and fully concur with him in
l respects; but would add, that in
v opinion there were less mullen
alks among the straw threshed by d.
"Wooster" Huller, than in that Of
reshed by the ashland" OF
