We r pleased to see that thu
Wooster Combined. Clover. Huller
manufactured by Mcdonald & Co., o
this city, came out OF IN exciting con
test with flying colors-beating it
competitor, the. Ashland Machine
badly. Below we.give the :particularl
of the contest, which We copy from
the The Weekly Coalition, o. Rerie,c.
Alta trial of Combined Clover Hui
lers on Tuesday, 9Th inst, On the farm
of Henry Beach, in Milestone town
ship, Crawford county, between &
| Combined Huller manufactured by
the Ashland ManufacturiDgC ohpant
and, the Wooster Combined Glovel
Huller manufactured by Mcdonald
& Co., of Wooster, Ohio, according
to previous arrangement by the Agent:
Of each machine, the parties were on
the grounds with their machines, and
the Ashland machine was started first
at nine and one-half minutes after one
o'clock p. NJ, and after spending two
hours and three minutes experiment:
ing and fixing their machine, the OPP
orator declared himself ready for trial.
1t was then agreed that each machine
should tbresh twenty minutes, and
then clean their seed and the time re
guired to arrange their machine and
clean the seed was to be noted-a
committee having been selected to
note the time. The Ashland COM
meDced threshing at 124 minutes past
3 o'clock p. NJ, and threshed twenty
minutes; then got ready for cleaning
their seed, and at Sc minutes past 3
o'clock we're done cleaning-having
threshed II bushels of uncleaned seed,
that when cleaned measured twenty
quarts, a large percentage of the seed
threshed was cut-and MIR. Henry
Beach said that he had rather have
the seed left in the straw than have it
cut in that IL The " ooster
was then brought up and got ready
for starting at 4:45 P. M , and thresh
ed 5 minutes, and stopped and de-
cared themselves ready for trial, and
at 4:52 P. NJ, commenced threshing
and threshed twenty minutes, and
then got ready to clean their seed, and
at 5:27 P. NJ, were done cleaning,
haying threshed two bushels and n
peck of uncleaned seed, that when
cleaned made one bushel and one peck
of seed and not cut, and being much
cleaner than that from the Ashland
Hu1ler. 'rn';i = y .:r :: =
Both machines threshed off TIE
same stack and the Wooster when fed
at that rate of speed did not ''choke,"
and the Ashland did choke when fed
much slower, or only about one BALI
as fast as the Wooster. It was evil
dent that the Wooster runs much the
easiest, in the opinion of the specta-
tors not requiring more than three
fourths of the power to run it. There
quite a number of the most sub
stantial farmers Of the county there
to witness the trial, and most of them
we're practical threshermen-some of
whom came there predisposed in favor
IF the Ashland Huller, and after the
rial bought the Wooster Huller,
which was a source of qualification to
he Wooster men. They. sold four
.ullers before leaving the tield-G Gal

SPECTATOR
The Reporter for the Reuie,r made
mistake in the quantity of seed the
Wooster Machine threshed and clean
d. Instead of having "cne bushel
nd one peck of cleaned seed" it was
ne bushel and three pecks! He was
lso in error as to the number Of Ma
hines sold. There were seven sold
instead of four.
