The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-07-07

name called, bya succession of whines
and yelps peculiar to his species.
You have probably noticed that
when one of .his kind gets strayed
away from home and finds himself
"out of his beat" so to speak, he goes
sneaking around with a kind of a
sheep-stealing look upon his counten-
ance sometimes swapping at the heels
of people who chance to get in his
way; but let any one call him by
name and he brightens up and gives
expression to his satisfaction in a
manner very similar to the outburst
of this "lost pup" in last weeks issue
of the Press. We supposed he was
one Of those "Machine men" he talks
so much about, but then it is not the
first time that "dogs" have been
known to bark at the loon, and it is
not at all astonishing that he should,
like other "dogs" on such occasions,
be heard giving vent to the same
~plaintive howls. Probably the only
reason why he is not engaged in writ
ing "reports from Texas" or some
other place, instead of joining the
chorus of his brother "dogs" is be-
cause he has nothing but defeats to
write about. Of.course he might tell
you how they are having to build
over their Harvester in the heat of
this heavy harvest, by replacing their
fimsy wooden cutter bar, which they
have been trying to palm off on the
farmers, by an angle iron bar some
what similar to that which has been
used SO long and successfully by the
Buckeye Co. But then, that wouldn't
be a congenial subject; he prefers to
talk about "Dogs."
However, there is one thing pecul-
lar to BIZ noticed, that through all the
incoherent rawlings of this BOBBY who
blubbers so much about "Machine
Men" he will once in a while acct
dentally stumble upon the truth. He
says 'our sales are just booming
never have sold half so many Nc
Cormick machines in the county as
this season." Well, they haze sold
four or five machines, not a very large
number of course, but then that's a
boom for the Mccormick, and the
little imbecile claps his hands and
shouts, "just see our boom!" 'look at
us machine men!"
We were aware that they had for
merly sold a few machines in Shia-
wassee county and supposed they had
sold more than the half of four or
five, but then, he knows; he's a Ma.
chine Man" and they have got a
blooming" trade. We shall probably
hear reports of this wonderful Shia-
wassee county "boom" from out in
Dakota, Gas soon as they get time to
write them up) where they say Mr..
Dalrymple is using o2 McCormick

it seems were manufactured by the
Walter a. Wood Co. But then, il

micks it would be a "boom" in the
estimation of our innocent little "Ma'
chine Man."
We don't claim a "boom' for the
Buckeye. We have sold in thi:
county this year five full carloads o
Buckeye machines, and have tele.
graphed for another car. But then
that's only a fair trade and nothing
more than we expected.
We might brag by saying we hae
sold a binder to the Agricultural Col
lege farm at Lansing, which is a fact

in the Buckeye and bought it without
solicitation. But there is nothing
surprising about it. Farmers are no
fools, and they a tell a good thing
when they see it.
