KING OF THE HARVEST.

The Most Complete Harvester Ever
Envented-Manual Labor Bone Away
Wlib
BY special invitation The HERALD's
reporter attended an exhibition OF the
working Of the new Mccormick har-
Yester and binder, ut the warehouse OF
Col Il. A. McNair, the agent for the
machine, corner of Elm and Market
streets. On arrival, the machine was
found to be in full operation, with a
large number of spectators gazing at II
with admiration. Our reporter had
seen numerous harvesters before, that
were more or less faulty, in their con-
structlon, and to confess the truth, he
did not expect to zee much Of an inn
provement, but, to his surprise, he
found little machine, compaVtly
built, with an intense concentration OF
power possessing sufficient strength to
do the work, and yet so light that the
draught was no greater than that OF an
ordinary lumber wagon. This machine
was pegging away and doing the har-
vest work, with the services OF one
4 man only. Surely the halcyOn days for
, the farmer have come. BY the aid of
this "little giant" from Illinois, he can
: place an umbrella over his head, take
q his seat on the machine, and in one
v day cut and bind fifteen acres,
a. with no other assistance than the
d said harvester. Disposed to be
