THE GREAT FAIR.

THE GREAT FAIR.
The Portland Evening Telegram in It's we'll
written notices of the Mechanics Fair lately
closed at that place, has this to say of the we'll
known house of
HEwBURY, HAWTHORNE 4 Co.
In the extreme west end of machinery hall is
the exhibit made by the wei. known house OF
Newbury, Hawthorne Co. One of the most
important parts Of their exhibit to farmers is the
world renowned Morrison Bros plows, with both
wood and steel beams, riding or walking plows
The wood beams all have double iron Standards
braeing well from both bottom and top, in oppo
site directions. They are securely bolted TO the
beam, which has double the usual wrought iron
support. The shape of the Morrison piow is
peculiar 10 ITSELF it having longer and higher
point and higher shin than any plow in the
American market. The mould boards are set
we'll forward and extra hardened. Newbury,
Hawthorne Co. are the only firm in Oregon
which carry the Bessemer steel beam plow, made
by Morrison Brothers. 1t is twelve pounds
lighter than the iron beam and cannot be bent
In trial OF plows lately made by the Linn
county council of the Patrons of Husbandry the
Morrison Brothers plows made the highest num-
ber of points and was adopted by the Grange and
and recommended by them to the Patrons of
Linn county. The plows certainly well con-
strueted and must be durable, light draft and do
good work, as all concede who know them, and
we see no good reason why farmers should use
chilled plow when they can have "Morrison,"
which is stronger and more durable, lighter TO
handle, lO0pounds lighter draft and does equally
good work in any soil. Farmers should see the
"Morrison" before purchasing any other. One
Of the most important things they show is the
FARMERS FRIEND DRILL,
A piece of farm machinery which they have sold
for two years in Oregon, and which has given
complete satisfaction. One of the great features
Of the drill is the cone gear for regulating the
seeding With all other drills thus far manufae-
tured, in order TO change the amount of seed
sown per acre, the macbi inc must be stopped, and
the drive wheel and several cog wheels, re-
moved at the cost of considerable tinie while
with the Farmers Friend Drill it is instantly
changed by lever, and even without stopping
the team if a change is desired during the opera
ton of the drill. The quantity thus regulated
is beyond the possibility OF a mistake 1t has a
double force feed, and has been tested in Europe
and America, and pronounced the best drill on
earth, receiving tho gold medal both in Paris and
Philadelphia. Newbury. Hawthorne 4 Co. have
induced the manufacturers TO make many impor-
tart improvements in the drill, among which is
the increase in size from twelve to twenty hoes,
and the making of both the large wheels do the
duty of drive wheels, being double geared, and
driving from both ends. They have also added
feed cone at each end, to regulate the
seeding from each end. Heavy truss braces
with bridgetree have also been added at this
firms suggestion. Notably in the exhibit made
by this firm is the
EsrERLY sEEDER AND cuLTlvAfoR,
The king of ali seeders in America. 1t is said
10 be the most perfect and durable machine in
the market. 1t requires no change ofcog- wheels,
has an agtator and improved metal drag, bar
fastenings; also oil tempered teeth. A peculiar
and valuable feature OF the machine is that it has
more scatterers and cylinders than any other, as
| it has five sets, while other machines use but
three or four, and in the large machines the
number is increased proportions ely, which gives
the most even and lertect distributions Of the
| seed. 1t is the only seeder provided with an
| india rubber off, which ehectually prevents
! the cracking OF grain AT every Fair where the
| Esterly seeder has been exhibition it has OBJ
| tanned the highest premium over all others. As
| with the Farmers Friend drill the house in
Portland had 10 increase the Esterly to twenty
| hoes, and added like improvements with the ex.
! ception Of the cones. Both these machines arc
rugged for two, three four horses abreast, accord
| ing to the size of the machines These improve,
ments have been made necessary in order to NEE
! the demands of the large farmers of Eastern Ore
| gon and Washington, and at their branch house
| in Walla Walla the firm have had large sales o
| the machines. Teamsters are much delighted
| with the imbroyed
WHITEWATER WAGON,
| Government standard, which is shown at tht
pavilion by the above firm. Il is fact IL at it il
| pronounced by all the best ironed wagon IN tbs
market. These wagons have, for number %
! years, been used in the service of the United
! States Government, and have, without failure
stood the climatic tests of every section of th!
country They are also used by the British Gov
eminent in their operations in the northern par
| OF This continent. They have recently been i'm
/ proved especially for this trade, have many i'm
| provements never before seen on any wagon, and
| are the best in the market the Pacific coast, Of
| which an examination will convince the mos
| skeptical. This firm also carry the renowned
| Torsion bolster, scat and pole springs. The boil
ster springs will carry from half TO five tons
| and will outlast three new wagons The seat
springs are the best in the world, being so hex-
| ible that they cannot b, put on a cramp oil
broken, and are adjustable to either wide mar
row track wagons. The pole springs are light
simple. effective and durable. They take the
weight from the neck cf the team and are
adapted to all wagons with drop down poles.
