BUSINESS EDUCATION.
One of the entertaining features was the art
and other display Of the ST. Paul Business
Couees. The Centennial" piece of penman-
ship by two OF the college faculty was truly a
wonder, rs We're numerous other handsome
pen pictures and specimens. Not the least
interesting portions of the display, was the
specimens OF penmanship by students when
they entered the CoIleg., and the work of
the same hands after brief period of instruc
ton. This College has been established eleven
years, and from small beginning has grown to
be one OF the large and important Institutions
OF the Northwest. One OF the most striking
features OF the 1876 catalogue, is list of five
pages OF names ct former students now hold
ing responsible positions s, chiefly in banks
and wholesale houses, al of which they were
enabled to obtain by reason of having secur-
ed q business education ut the ST Paul Bust
ness College. These former students unite in

the single voluntary testimonials are legion.

ton complete without taking a Bushes Col.

HARyEsTERs WITH CANNON behring's SELF
BINDERS.

much displayed to interest the farmers
During the entire progress OF the Fair large
| crowd surrounded the machinery on exhibit
ton and being operated by Gritf Jones of
Minneapolis. Their machinery consisted of
the Marsh Harvester" with Self Binder at
tachment, also the ''Warrior Mower" Every
one knows that their harvesters have proved
a complete and magnificent success after
years OF trial and sharp competition, but the
Selt-Binder is a recent attachment and it at
tracted an immense amount of attention at
the Fair. The great desderatum of the har-
vest field has been found III this Selt-Binder.
Farmers who have used them certify that
they can cut and bind fifteen and sixteen
acres per day with the greatest ease The
binding IS far more secure than hand binding
and superior in every respect to any binding
heretofore attempted 1t works to charm
without getting out of order. The twister
hook renders the bunde s firm aud secure
and the cost for wire is only the trifing sum
OF from 20 to 80 cents per acre. The express
sions OF delight with its operation were uni
versal among the crowds which witnessed its
workings and numerous farmers declared
that they would never make another harvest
without Cannon K behring's S IL binding
attachment. 1t fairly captured the spectators
by storm. Griff Jones alse exhibited the fam
Gus Cannon & Deering Warrior Mower, and
this machine like the others worked admira-
bly,. The whole display was OF immense
ton of the world as it gave ocular demonstra-
ton OF the great perfection to which tarin ma
chinery has been brought, and enabled farm
ers to see for themselves where to secure the
best.
THE TRIAL OF THREsHING MACHINES.

ton, or proved of greater interest to those
present, or to farms rs throughout the State,
than the grand trial Of threshers. The con-
