EDITORS JoURNAL:--I wish to re-
ply to X. L. LIENS Eye Witness who
made himself so conspicuous i'll your
last issue.
First, he makes the assertion that
the machine used by Lien at the trial
was a 5l5 foot cut machine, which is
not so; the actual measurement OF the
machines used were as follows Ton cut
ter BARI: Woods feet 1019 inches,
Belolt feet inches, Marsh 5 feet
815 inches. The large sized Wood
brought in and only driven one round
measured feet 10A inches. Mr..
Lien tried to measure swathes himself,
but no one assisted him and he made
it to suit himself.
Second-as to draft. Mr.. Lien made
an offer to put up $50 that his machine
drew ] ghter than the Marsh, which
bet was taken by Mr.. Smith, expert
for the Marsh, whereupon Mr.. Lien
promptly backed water and failed to
put up (he having nothing to hedge
ON.
AS to sales made on the ground we
took straight orders for the Marsh
machines, which can be seen at my
office at any time.
Third. Now as to the expert for
the Marsh going home with light
pockets. Mr.. Smith bet Mr.. Lien SIS
that Woods machine used 2 inches
more string in making the tie than
the Marsh did. Mr.. S. Porch, of juno
ton Mills, held the stakes and decided
in Mr.. Liens favor, as Mr.. Porch
found the Wood used IA inches more
than the Marsh, so Lien gained by a
of an inch. Farmers, is not this little
too much Waste--l2 per cent. of
tWineO.
All we ask are facts, and til ose we
must have. We are ready to put our
machines out ON their merits, and we
are willing to put them in with the
