For many years farmers have felt the need of
some Improvement on the old and laborious two
handled cross-cut. saw, for saving up bodies of
trees into any length desired for saw-logs slaves
rails, stove-wood. etc This long-needed improve
ment has at last been invented by w. w. Giles, of
Cincinnati o., who by the way is one OF the great
est OF American inventors. We see from our (.
changes that the editor of the Ohio Farmer also the
editor of the A. ReUietC of Cincinnati, called on
Mr.. Giles personally 10 the marvellous saw ma
chine. They both pronounced it q machine Of great
merit. The curiosity of these gentlemen not
satisfied upon seeing others operate the machine,
but they both tried ii themselves a large log,
and they report that man operates it with ease,
and saws much more rapidly than two men could
with the ordinary cross-cat The secret of
ming this machine easily is explained by the fact
that the weight of the operator does fully onehaf
OF the labor 1t is easily moved or carried about by
one man, and has all the points of durability and
practical utility wanted il such an implement. A
very large demand for these machines is alread y
established, and all who see them are delighted
with their superior labor-saving principles. Many
people constantly calling on Mr.. Giles to see the
machine and test its merits for their friends in the
country. Our attention called to one man in
Colorado, who wrote to Samuel Cary, of Cincinnati
land, by the way, one of tee most distinguished
statesmen of Ohio) asking him to call and Dir.
Giles and his machine, and write what he
thought OF it. Mr.. Cary promptly went to see the
machine, and pronounced it a good machine, and
concluded to buy two of them himself Mr., Giles
is said TO be very wealthy being real etsate own
of over $500 000 and his confidence in the great
merit of his invention is shown from the fact that
he guarantees every machine to give satisfaction.
