up and save lodged grain which Others
cannot touch. With the knives tilted
down to the ground and the reel CORES
pondingly lowered, the Osborneis wOnder-
fully elective in down grain, often saving
its intire cost in a single harvest. 4 new
and valuable addition TO this machine is

the elevator, aids in adjusting and giving

still more valuable improvement in this
connection is the vibrating or but

skill OF an eXperien ced hand and much
more effectively, punches the straw pre-

cal ingenuity and skill. 1t is simple in de
tail and easily understood. Each part
works smoothly and with mechanical
precision. devoid alike OF Earring and tric-

waste OF power. the compression of the
bundles being effected by the Irvine with
which each bundle is bound. The fact that
the Osborne binds tighter sheaves than
any machine viii Ii uses compressor is
proof that there is no necessity for Il COM
pressOr. The latter adds to the draft. be-
cause after it has compressed the grain
the band must still be drawn tight enough
TO dispense whit. Nor does the Osborne
need kicker with which to waste
grain. the separation OF the sheaves be-
ing accomplished by the separator.
With one movement more the bundle is
t s>ed aside and the performance repeat

either OF time or grain.
The Osborne Is a strong made. durable
machine. The materials and workman
ship are first class, and its performance in
the field is of the most satisfactory charac-
ter. LIS draft is remarkably light, that OF
the cight-tDOt cut being less than some
machines cutting but six feet No farmer
who consults his own interest will pur-

the Osborne and its splendid record.
Mr. ID. VI. Osborne, we may add, was
himself present on this occasion, having
come in person all the way from his fac
tory at Auburn, New York, to see Tor
himself the practical operation OF the
machine which he is offering to the conf
dence and patronage OF farmers. Engag-
ed for twenty-siX years past in the bust
ness Mr.. Osborne. it is needless to say, is
thoroughly conversInt with it in all its de
tails, yet with that spirit of progress which
has distinguished him rs Il pioneer in this
line, he is ever on the alert, tor some pos

OF immense wealth, proprietor of perhaps
the largest establishment of the kind, and
