THE IRVINE BINDER CONTEST.
Seven Machines Competing in a
Field of Rye.

A little before noon on Monday
last people from all points in South
western Wisconsin began to arrive
Mt the farm of Gilbert Barries. in the
town of Mifflin in this county, to
witness the twine- binder trial which
was advertised to take place there in
the afternoon. On arrival they were
informed that the field of operations
had been changed to the old "Car-
rington farm, over the line of Grant
county in the town of Wingville.
This change, however, was in no
wise due to Mr. Barries, who desired
that the contest take place in his
rye, and had with liberal hospitality
prepared a bounteous dinner for the
multitude that came to witness the
trial, and to which he made all
welcome. The majority of the
people partook of Mr. Barries' hos
pitality, while some followed some
Of the binders over in the direction
Of the " Darlington farm" and
swooped down on the village of
Livingstone for their noon-day meal,
vr Ii II :, rro p,,o,,,apf. ,,,o,o lo;,, 80, l.
for the contest to come off in the
new field chosen.
The real cause of the change of
base was rumored to have been
Discrimination Of some Of the parties
arranging the contest to try their
powers on Mr.. Barries' rye. And
a close observation of the said rye
would warrant a belief in the prob
ability of this rumor, rs all his rye
straw grew after the manner of
Jack the giant-killer's bean-stalk;
most of it standing erect, while in
places it lay towards all points of
the compass, and resembled as much
as anything else, grove of young
trees through which a genuine tor
nado or cyclone had passed.
1t was late in the afternoon before
arrangements were made for open
ing the contest in the rye on the
Darlington farm, as there were mis-
understandings between the eNhib-
itors Of the several machines, and
the owner of the rye thought it was
too green to cut, and asked the
sum of thirty dollars to recompense
him for damage which he might
sustain by having it cut too soon.
Finally the money was raised by
several Of the agents, and the field
was opened for them to enter and
commence work; but no plan was
fully agreed upon to decide as to
the merits Of the different binders,
and no committe was appointed for
that purpose.
The following machines went into
the grain in the order named and
commenced cutting: Woods, Os-
borne, Esterley, Buckeye, Cham
pion, Mccormick and Deering. The
grain here was also long, heavy
and green, and somewhat tangled,
and the binders, of course, did not
show off to as good advantage as
they would in ripper and lighter
grain, although most of the farmers
thought it better than trial under
circumstances more favorable, as
they wanted to see what the ma
chimes would do under difficulties
The exhibition was witnessed by
several hundred people, great ma
jority of whom were farmers. As no
effort was made to get the verdict of
the crowd we cannot record it.

Congressman Butterworth of Ohio,
who has perhaps, made the most
lasting reputation of any of his
fellow members during the present
session, received unanimous con-
domination from the press and peo-
pie Of all parties, but still he is
not sufficiently imbued with the
spirit of English methods to resign;
which would be a fitting action on
his part at this time.
