chinery for manufacturing them. The
same result will inevitably follow the great
demand for wire which the selt-binders
have created. \ demand SO enormous

Gus wire factories nhich will spring up in
different parts OF the country will be cer-
tain to develop important improvements.
which must greatly radt,ce the price OF
wire. While it is now us cheap. as any
thing which has been eXperimentel with.
there is no good reason why the next two
or three years should not still further re-
duce the price. :, -.
The magnitude of this wire business in
the future may be family outlined by the
dimensions it has already attained. There
are at present not far from $4,000 wire
binders in use. and that number will Ger
tainly be doubled this season. These So
90 machines, at Il moderate estimate, will
average. lOO~ acres, each. ay,d, ut tyo and Il

weight OF wire will reach tWelre and halt
