The triumphant walk-overo the Deeriug con-
tinues. Texas and Missouri harvest the start
ing point. New Jersey reached Green e.six
foot four inches high, does not puzzle the Deer

without missing sheaf. Evidence at home
with plenty of witnesses. An unequalled feat.
If any other binder can do it, we challenge
them to trial. Let them walk up and show up.

Esq, General Agent William Deering-Dear
Strive sold a binder to Levi Ballinger & Co.,
which they put up themselves without any
help OF Instructions from us. We went there
on the afternoon of the 18th Of May, and took
the binder into a piece of green rye, some OF
which measured six feet four inches high and
cut it to the entire satisfaction OF every one
present. The rye was sown on an old cabbage
patch and we Cut across the ridges with two
horses, and when We reached the end of the
SWath, the main wheel had to run on new
ploWed ground, and yet the machine did not
ed the rye for feed, we cut it 10 to II inches
high. We next put the machine into q piece
which had been previously moved with a
scythe, and which had grown up to from Is to
30 inches high. We set the machine to cut very
low, and bound it entirely to the satisfaction OF
the large rye and on the way cut and bound
one swath OF the II inch stubble, before men,
toned, cut and bound this small stuff. We
then cut two swaths of the large rye, without
raising the machine, taking the old cabbage
stalks along with it. We cut and bound the
same without the string breaking or a sheaf
missing, and separated every sheaf, much to
our surprise, as it cut Off six feet "a length,
going through the 5i-inch elevators CThis
seems Impossible, nevertheless II Is Ifue.l we
think that the rye on an average was over FIVE
feet high, and was sown very thick on purpose
for fodder, The machine gave entire satlsiac-
ton to the large number of farmers present TO
witness the trial. Tha machine put up Tor

worked well and did not miss sheaf. We
think this is vefygood showing for green nanfis,
it being the first Deerng binder we ever up.
We are going to a meeting this afternoon, where
we EXPECT to see several persons who were
present on the 9th, and will let them read this
letter and will ask them 10 sign their names
as witnesses to the occurrence, TO prove the
truth of the facts stated. S. II. Lippincott, A.

FACTS.-The Dcering is the only Irvine binder
sold east that is not an experiment this season
with thu exception Of the w. \. Wood. The
Deering was the first Irvine binder ever offered
for sale. Its success has caused all competitors
to initiate its principles as near they could.
When some concerns pay $50 900 for the priyi-
ledge of Initiating the Deering, farmers may
rest assured that they need not hesitate between
the tried and perfect original and the untried
imitation. Farmers know that no machine can
be perfect the first season it is built. Ifyou buy
an experiment, then you trust to Hope,n
" Providence and Good Luck to have it
right Hope don't make perfection-it takes
experience. If good luck goes back on you by
serious delays or failure OF an experiment to
work, then where are you left? With help
scarce and all engaged by your neighbors.- An
ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure.
The Deering claims to be uneoualed in n sin
gle feature, from the point of the diyiaer to the
discharge arms OF the binder. Ifyou doubt this
examine 1t and compare with any binder made.
There are more Deering Irvine binders in use
than of any other make. VIM. Deering is build
ing 1900 this year; more than any other con-
Germ in the world is building.
