weather, with occasional light showers

to rust. The weather, however, has
been good for corn, or at least it has

gin to reckon on half a crop.

On Tuesday, Aug 1st, an interesting
trial of self-binding reapers took place
in field of oats on DR.. =. Paddock s
farm. A goodly number of spectators
was present, and conspicuous among
them were six ladies' and ten ma
chine agents, all deeply interested in
the result of the trial. It stormed the
day previous, and on Tuesday after
noon rain in small quantities fell at
intervals, in consequence of which the
grain was not in very good condition
for cutting. Alva Paddock drove on
the four reapers which were on exhi-
bition, as follows: The Wood, Buckeye,
Mccormick and Empire. Notwith-
standing the drawbacks, the machines
cut the grain and bound it with great
facility, and the merits of the respect
i've machines were thoroughly and
well tested. Indeed, they all seemed
so perfect that to discriminate be
tween them it would require all the
discernment and sagacity of machine
agent, besides his veracity and ready
tongue, to set forth their good points.
The farmers surveyed the machines
with delight and satisfaction, and they
were keen, too, in discovering the adj
vantage that one machine possessed
over another. 1t was the verdict of
some that the Wood had the lightest
draft and did the best work. This
fact, perhaps, along with his own OBJ
servation, might have influenced one
man to purchase that kind of machine
on the spot, which was the only one
sold. But whether the Wood was pre-
ferable to any of the others this de-
| ponent saith not.
