hut our farmers may not he aware OF
the sort of reception that awaits all
that may cal! upon them. Those
likely to have occasion for such agrl-
cultural assistants as are described
below had better. while on the Fair
Grounds, avail themselves of an eX-
animation. assisted by such unusually
competent agents and statesmen.
THE woOp TWIN BINDER.
Most prominent among the ina
chimes in practical operation IS a
Woods Irvine Binder. the most SUE
cessful that has been offered for sale.
and Of which over 1000 have been
disposed Of during the present season.
Its action is perfectly automatic.
Every bundle it ties is Of equal slz
and is discharged entirely separated
from loose gram but, to lac apprccl-
ated, this binder nus be seen and
examined. as the most elaborate de-
scription Of it vet made fails 10 con
vey an adequate idea Of the effective
liess it adds to old style reapers.

Sweep Rake Reaper. also driven by

either or all of which. by means of a
small lever, can be made to reel or
rake ii will. without stoppage or
change Of seat by the driver.
WOODS ENCLo-ED GEAR MowER.
Next in order is the Woods En-
closed Gear Mower, driven by en-
cascd cog gearing. Its great feature
is direct draft from its bar and not
by its pole or wheels, 1t has also an
adjustable screw bar 10y which its
finger bar is kept in line and operated
SO as to insure the passage of its knife
through the centre of every one of its
guards, each of which together with
it's inside and outside shoe, is prOvid-
ed with a steel ledger plate, lessening
the cost of renewal when dulled five
hundred per cent.
There are also on exhibition a STU
perior Wheat Drill and a Star Sulky
Hay Rake. The former is the hes,
finished and most perfect forced feed
drill made, and can be supplied will
either common or spring hose. The
hay rake has twenty steel teeth, sc
tapered as to impart strength where
it is needed, Its spindles are o
wrought IRON, and can be adjusted Sc
as to be in line with shaft or axle
and the fitting and easing back TO thu
ground of its rake is greatly facill
tated by .he weight of its driver.
THE GILPIN sULKY pLow.
Among the most effective OF th'
implements to be seen on the ground
is a Gilpin Sulky Plow, manufacturer
out of the best and hardest steel b.
Deere & Co. The specimen referee
to is connected with steam power t
show how easily it is inserted int
and raised out of the ground whe
