AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.
We, to-day, took tramp in the direction of
the farm machinery, which is by no means
small part of the great agricultural and me-
chanical exposition. and upon which there has
been an immense amount of money and labor
expended, in order to have it on a full equality
with the other departments. The vast build
ing, ESQ feet long by 40 wide. is crowded and
crowded and over-crowded. Every available
foot is utilized, and yet there are car loads of
machinery and implements which cannot, by
any possible continuance, be inveigled into the
building, and are grouped around the ends
sides and corners in seeming rivalry, to be
at least in the closest proximity to it.
AS we approach the end of the building
nearer the horse sheds, the first thing that
catches our eye is the famous Studebaker wagon,
whose reputation is worldwide, and at the
same time our scalp is scraped by the wire
tackling of somebody's hay-fork Next we see
a polite gentleman exhibiting the Hoosier
drill and seeder, and as we step inside the
building Christian & Deans display first at
tracts our attention. They have on exhibition
the Mitchell farm wagon and carriages,
Glpin sulky plow. Keystone sulky rake
and several other minor machines.
works exhibition whose manufactures go all over
the Northwest. Side by side with the Monitor
plows is those of the Minneapolis pillow works.
Still advancing, on our right, is the National
patent association of Minneapolis, who exhibit
the wonderful American ditcher. In the center
is Provost's improved wheat dryer, and ON the
left stands the Minnesota grain cleaner and
separator, manufactured at Minneapolis Still
further to the left and outside the building
stands the Van Brunt & Barber seeder, exhibit
W Il 81, ~ \
we see a crowd collected around some machine,
and on elbowing our way to the front
we find it to be Avery l. Sons combined sulky
and gang pillow. The farmers all pronounce it
the best thing out. The Avery & Sons reversi-
Die side hill pillow was also highly applauded by
the farmers, as we'll as their breaking and CROSS
ing plows. The ones to are the ones to
Judge. After SCATTERING our shins on numerous
implements and projections, all of which no
doubt are very useful, we limped up to C. w.
Shatto's stand, where are the Champion reaper
and mower and the Champion self-rake, besides
seeders, tanning mills, and piles of other farm
ing furniture. And now we come to something
altogether new-F. Peterler's new three wheeled
harvester, the model of which WAS completed
only last week. The same gem
tieman is the inventor of hand
binder which can be attached to any harvest
ing machine. Sitting right beside these ma
chimes is another new invention-Smith Il
Woods potato bug catcher, which cleans the
bugs from two rows at a time fast as q horse
can walk. After various convolutions around
several farming. mill and other paraphernalia,
we stumble on w. H. Jones g. Co. These GEN
tlelnen represent the Marsh harvester and bind
er, Furst d Bradley pillow, and Hill sulky plow
Next we come upon the largest display vet by
any OF our city agents, that of Starkweather,
Hubbard & Co. This firm are Northwestern
agents for the new Seiberling's Empire COM
bined reaper and mower, fast becom-
ing a favorite; the Adams & French
harvester and binder; Wheeler & Wbeelock
self-drop hay rake, and many other smaller
machines. We now make the acquaintance Of
MIR. Frank Stewart, who will show you all the
good points of the William Arson Woods har-
vesting machines and Eagle mowers Climb
ing over the revolving shafting We admire for
while the st. Paul wire binder, then pass on
to the well known machines of the Minneapolis
Harvester works. The Dewey harvester and
wire binder and Meadow Lark reaper and now
er are gazed upon as we pass. The Minneapolis
Paper Binder company have on exhibition one
of their machines, the only paper binder on
the grounds. In front of US as we still pass on
are the several harvesting machines of George
Esterly & Son. Beyond is Knauff, Stout & Goa
display They have on their stand one
mowers, which to all appearances
is very useful and available machine. Again
jumping the shaft we stand beside the Osborne
seapers and self-binding harvester and a few
steps below are the Kirby reaper and mower
and the Wheeler reaper and mower all repre-
sented by W. G. Sawyers, of this city. Next
as we nearly reach the farther end of the build
ing, we come to what is probably the largest
display on the grounds made by any one firm,
@. Aultman & Co. This firm mauufacturs and
have on exhibition the Canton Monitor engine,
which furnishes the power to run one-half the
machines in the building the Sweepstakes
thresher, the Buckeye harvester and binder,
the Buckeye mower and reaper, and the Buck
eye mower. All of the machines are manufac-
tured by this one house in Canton, Ohio,
and yet they are 40 we'll known throughout the
State of Minnesota that no extended mention
need be made Indeed it is almost sufficient
to say that they are manufactured by G, Ault-
man Co.. Canton, Ohio, house established
IN 1850 by the same men who are to-day at the
head and front of all i'm plement manufacturers
IN the world. The ease and perfect manner
with which these machines do the work for
which they seyerally intended is only
equalled by the easy manner in which they gain
the first premiums and awards at all places where
they are exhibited. They are sold on their merits
and warranted TODD the work for which they
are intended. The engine is the center of
crowd of admiring spectators, and the Buckeye
binder as well as the Buckeye table rake are
not without their share. '..Fhe best I have
seen is the universal verdict on these ma
chimes. We have now reached the end of the
building, with the exception of the threshing
l<sCL1iAeb WHICH SCanO In q row on the lett side.
Nearest the end stands the above mentioned
Sweepstake thresher, while beside it are two of
J. l. Case Co.'s threshers, and Buffalo Pitts
thresher. just outside the building on the
same side and parallel with it is the Semour,
Sabin d Co. steam thresher, manufactured in
Saltwater, MINI.
Near to this stands the Randolph Header,
manufactured by Craver & Steele, Grinnell,
Iowa, and the Northwestern rotary gang plow
and over between the cattle sheds is erected
the Hazen wind mill, manufactured in this city
by L. NJ. Crandall. On the opposite side Of
the building, next to the race course, are
numerous gates wind-mils, etc., ETC., which
detain the crowd as they pass back towards the
main building.
Now, you have been all through it, and those
who have not been fortunate enough to see it
tor themselves, must imagine it as best they
can. Our readers must not forget that nearly
al these machines are in motion,
threshers humming, harvesters and bind
ers gathering, mowers rafting, tanning mills
jerking, and scores of other things raising such
din that it strikes one as something remarka-
bly, unusual. Surely no one can behold this
vast display without being assured within
himself that Minnesota never before saw such
magnificent array, and that the future of her
agricultural interests never before looked so
bright and promlsing
