disappointed in their patriotic desire to have
President Harrison af1ix his signature to the

YE ANCIENT SCYTHE.

1t Is still Quite Extensively Used in All
Tarts of the Country.
eyes" said a dealer in agricultural
implements, there has been wonder
full Improvement in the farmers tools
within the last decade or two, but there
ara three implements that were used by
our grandfathers which hold their ows
to-day. They are the old revolving,
wooden hay-rake, the grass scythe and
the grain cradle"
Several years ago every body wanted
the sulky-rake, and our sales of wooden
rakes never amounted to more than 15e
a summer, but of late years the demand
for them has gradually increased, until
we now sell from 400 to 500 of them
during a single season. They do
much better work than the sulky
rake, and do not tear up the roots of
the grass, nor take up the old, dried and
dead gleanings left on the field at the
previous harvest. 1t is true the opera
tor must walk, but, with the small ter
ritory given to hay in our locality, that
is not such a great item. And then the
price is so much lover. While the best
sulky rake is valued at from $40 to $25,
and with the great amount of other ma
chinery farmer needs the difference Of
$40 is an item.
The grass scythe, on the other hand,
has been driven out of the fields and
has become a SORT Of scavenger, being
used to clean out fence corners, about
trees and in small yards and among
shrubbery where mOwing-machine
could not be taken. No matter how
much the mowing-machine may be i'm
proved, every farmer will still have use
for a scythc. | suppose there are from
$50 to 1000 dozen of grass scythes sold
about Cincinnati in 4 single summer.
The American scythe blade is not as
good as the English, as it will not
hold an edge as long as the latter.
Still, as it is sold for just half the
price, it holds its own easily. While
we admit the superiority of the English
make, there is so much competition in
the business that were the better quail
ties made here the increased price
necessarily asked for them would pre-
vent their coming into general use. We
can make any thing in America, but we
can not compete with the old factories
of England in edge tools. American
blades are now retailed at from % cents
to 20 cents each, while the English
blades can not be secured for less than
S1.25
Then there is the grain cradle,
which has been increasing in ropu-
larity right along. The best market
for these is in the South, while Indiana
and kentucky use quite number
throughout their billy districts. The
South is slow to introduce farming ma
chinery, and they still rely in a great
measure upon the old methods.

made mostly at Wiustedt, Conn.,, and
