TIE M'coRM1CKs' AUTOMATIC BINDER.

exhibition ut our Exposition nothing attracts
more attention than the new automatic binder
OF Mcssrs. c. H. s. L. J: Mccormick
For the past three years this cuterprising firm
have devoted their energies and their vast re-
sourccs to the perfection Of this machine, The
success Of which, during the past harvest, has
fully justified the expenditure OF ingenuity,
labor, aud money which they have made to nc
conplish this result
Ono thousand OF these wonderful machines
have bccn sold the past season, ami many
more could have been disposed OF could they
have been furnished.
No machine i'll tho whole range Of invention
bns been more successful tlIau this, and the
enthusiasm among farmers who hare witnessed
the admirable manner in which it has done its
work is unparalleled in the history OF harvesting
machinery.
THIS is not to bcwondercd at when we consider
the vast amount OF time, annoyance, and money
saved bY its use, many responsible farmers
tcstifyng that they have saved more than the
price of the machine during this one harvest
One OF the chief advantages OF this implement
is the case and rapdty; with whic!, large crop
oi grain is harvested, rs it will with three
horses, one man to drive, and ono
man and boy to shock, place beyond
tile reach OF damage fifteen to sixteen
acres OF grain per day, aud BY running night and
DAY. which has oeen ;h,r, uoae many times in the
tie put into the shock every twenty-four hours.
Our country friends who visit the Exposition
should certainly see this great labor-sayng isl-
yention, remarkable for its simplicity, and the
ease aud ietibcration with which it does its
work, and examine it carefully to convince them
selves that it Is thoroughly practical and USE
fu! machine.
We understand that the Mcssrs. Mccormick
are preparing to manufacture large number Of
them for the next harvest, although they do not

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
It seems as il s. Yankee ingenuity could 60 no
machine is ITS latest and best 1abor-saving
achievement. It is the greatest attraction in
Tic Exposition. Visitors, don't fail to sec it.

Ono oil the chief points Of attraction is the
booth Of Barrett & Barrett, where they manu-
farturc cider with patent machine which

one Of the largest and finest mills in the coun-

display an exquisite Queen Ann library set, in
ebony, which in form, joincry, and decoration is
gem. The decorations are especially noticca-
BILE, Iour OF the panels having symbolic repre-
scntations Of the four seasons, while most Of
the others are adorned with paintings OF appro-
pirate subjects, all beautifully executed in oil
by their artist: The set with all its surround
incs is suggestive Of the quiet comfort OF re-
finc1ncpt and culture. We understand that the
than heretofore, to make specially Of artistic
furniture The main exhibit Of this house COIN
prises tho celebrated q Triumph Sclool-D Dcsk,'
and fine collection Of globes, school apparat~
us, church furniture. and other soecialties in
connection with which this house is known
throuruOut the civilized world.
The best display OF scwiog-1nachine Work VIC
hare ever seen in Chicago or elsewhere is that
of the new Davis, On exhibition IN the ExDosi-
tion. It is one oi the most Interesting features
OF the great show, and is the special admiration
OF the lalics. The gentle sex know full we'll the
points Of superiority of this most excellent uta
chine: but the work which Is displayed to the in-
spc2tion ofthc world, as we have mentioned above,
is the must eloquent reminder OF its unequAled |
facilities. The vertical feed which insures such
fau.tlcss work, is an invention only second to |
tho sewing machine itself, while the doing
away with the necessity OF basting lessons the ]
operators labor fully onc-1latf, and discards
the last vcstige OF the old-tashioncd method Of
and-sewing.

Improvement on the old methods Of caring for

cading chemists aud medical men as to the in

They arc light. strong, and capable OF high orna-
