Corn Harvester Trial.

The much talked of corn harvester, whose APP
pearancc has been so long waited for, arrived in
this city on Monday last and was taken to the
farm of Mr.. q. +. Penney, in the town of Free
dom, about IL miles from the city, where are still
standing some tour acres Of unhuskcd Germ. On
this farm on Monday next the machine will be
tried in the presence of all who choose to attend
II is to be regretted that the distance out is SO
great; but this, so far as is known, is the only
patch of corn standing in the county. Yet a
large number should be present, as the trial Is of
vast Importance to Ottawa Our moncyed men
particularly should be there to see for themselves
the working of this machine; for should it sue
coed, the golden opportunity which shall bring
to Ottawa the flood of success has arrived; should
il fail, the investor should know of his own oh.
servation and enjoy the knowledge and satsiac-
tion Of personal investigation. Farmers, also,
are invited and urged to attend Should the
weather be very stormy the trial will take place
on the following day-Tuesday.

steam engines will be used to draw the products

possible, if We do not succeed in also drawing
