The ..Nicke,-Platev Excelsior.

Harvester men are greatly excited over the
Excelsior Nckel-plate Harvester and Binder
which is something entirely in the harves-
ter world. Last year 100 of these machines
were put out trial. They were scattered
from most southern limit of the Southern harvest
to the heavy wheat fields Of northern Michigan,
and proved an astonishing and gratifying sue
cess everywhere, combining strength, lightness,
beauty and symmetry. The Nickel plate Excel
sior weighs only 200 pounds and is 10y far the
highest harvester now on the market 1t has
the lowest elevators and the greatest elevating
capacity. The binder is attached to an independ-
ent frame instead of the "a" frames as on other
machines. The reel is driven by the
elevator roller, doing away with the
gear chains used other harvesters.
The Nlckelpate Excelsior is no novelty.
but has been thoroughly tested and
proved TO be a complete success as practical,
low elevator machine. Milton Daily, rs West
Washington street, indianapolis, is the general
agent.

This year. as last, the exhibit made by the
Model Clothing Company is the feature of the
fair The Model display occupies large space
on the upper. floor of the Exposition Building,

being perfect harmony. The main feature,
however, is the array of tailor made clothing,
especially in suits for boys and children-such
clothing as, except at the Model can only be
found in cities like New York and Chicago. The

Answering an Innuendo.

Said ]. B. Haywood to the reporter yesterday:
"You may say in your paper that we can place
inside the walls of the Mccormick factory the
shops and grounds of any other alleged harvester
manufacturing company in the world. and, not
withstanding the claim made by certain Tor
uncertain) company in an article published in
the fair notes of the Indianapolis Journal on the
10Th of September-that concern that claimed to
be the biggest on earth'-ther entire works and
grounds can be placed under the roof of the
Mccormick Harvester Companys works, and
then leave us working room enough to manu-
facture as many machines as they have sold dur
ing their most successful season."
great number of the warm-hearted farmer
friends of the Mccormick visited the pavilion
yesterday and greatly admired the method of
running the binder by the revolving motion.
They thought it the most complete thing of the
kind they had ever seen, and showed the irwin
chile Mccormick to good advantage. However,
where the Mccormick shows to best advantage
is not on dress parade, but on the harvest field.

$l14.3S; balance in the treasury, 1854
About $500 is yet due to the
union for subscriptions for stock, but
it is doubtful whether much of this amount can be
collected, mainly account of the prejudice Of
OF those who had subscribed, to separate political

parts of the State of very encouraging nature.

Two Notable rnveutions.

+. E. Myers & Bro, of Ashland, o., exhibit a
large line of force and lift pumps. Their pumps
have always taken first premium on every occa.
sion where there was any competition. The
glass valve seats and expansive plunger on the
buckets and steel bolts give them marke su-
periority.
The Myers doublelock reversible hay carrier
needs only to be seen to have its merits con-
eeded. Its construction is exceedingly simple.
IL will work either way from the stop without
changing the track or climbing up to the roof to
change rope and puleys. as must be done with
ko-called swivel reversible and old style carriers.

ground. Each tooth cross-cuts the track of
every other, thus describing lattice work cut

stalks, weeds, sticks, vines clods, other trash
away from the plants. leaving only the clean

ridged up till the corn is knee high
Flows and bull-tongues throw the weeds toward
the corn. where many of them turn their tops

can never be reached afterward, except with a
hoe; whereas this cultivator throws them into
the middle, between the rows. 1t is the best i'm
plement extant for seeding wheat in standing
corn. 1t is guided with rudder, so that il can
be made to run SO exact as to strike the blades
of small corn without touching the stalks. This

The Barlow Planter, with Check Rover.


No farmer who has seen the Barlow corn
planter, with the Barlow check rover attached,
but is delighted with it. 1t meets every re-
quirement in a planter The Barlow check
rover has been thoroughly tested. 1t has
planted upwards of 1900 acres without material
wear on either the check rover knots or wire,
and performed its work thoroughly. The re-
volving seed cup shows the corn FIVE hills in ad-
vance There are two attachments, one on
each side, thus having one half OF the wear Incl

thing: the Barlow planter isinot encountered by
large bar crossing the machine giving added
weight, and the rover has nice, neat appear
ance This rover is absolutely free from fric
tion, cannot lock, will not catch knots, and will
plant up to the end of the row. The new auto
matte foot-lock lever on the planter is the best
ever offered the trade, it being the only device
for the purpose by use Of which the front part
can be instantly raised, or the runners forced
into the ground to depth desired, and automat-
ically locked to position without requiring the
driver to use his hands, thus enabling him to
manage the raising or lowering of the front part
without interrupting control of the team. The
rover adds but thirty-two pounds to the planter
