INVENTOR OF THE REAPER.
Through Many Discouragements He
Brought 1t Into General Use.
Chicago Herald.

chicago HerGl0.
The reaper that Cyrus H. Mccormick
built in the first year (1St) of his striving
in Chicago was a clumsy and impractical
machine as compared with those he turned
ont few years later. And the machine
built last year is an improvement upon
the one built the year before. The Nc
Cormick family has the credit securely of
inventing the reaper. Three generations
of McCormicks have been engaged upon
it. Whether the member that brought
the crude machine TO Chicago and, aided
with money by some of the citizens, set
up its manufacture here, had more TO do
with it in its first stages than his father.
the Nirginian farmer, has been questioned:
but certain 1t is that Cyrus III. Meteor
mick stands credited throughout the
world of scientific agriculture with the
great invention.
Perhaps that he had the reverent pa
thence to brood over an abandoned idea of
his fathers was mark in itself of origi-
nal genius. One thing is sure, he never
doubted that he controlled an invention
that would greatly bless the farmer and
insure to himself an adequate fortune.
This Is evidenced by the fact that when he
could have sold it for an amount of cash
tiiaI IL WAS not worth at the time-estl-
mated by the returns he was getting from
1.-THE decided to keep it. Further evil
dence Is that it was ever his partners, and
not himself, that retired from the business
OF manufacturing reapers. William B.
Ogden was his first partner-he retired.
George NJ. Gray next " as his partner and
he lacked faith. lie had numerous other
associates at different times. and in vari-
Gus parts of the country where the ma
chimes could be made, but none of them
all continued with him. Only Mr.. Nc
Cormick had the courage to stay on with
the invention.
But IL was not Till he found out how to
give degree OF beauty to his machine as
well as added utility that it took univer-
sally ana established his name in all lands.
Some Of the added parts were of his own
devising-he still ives ambitious TO be. as
we'll As 10 be known a., the inventor But
other parts were supplied by the silent
genius of unheTalded workmen in the Me-
COruiick shops. The last and most neces-
sary OF all the improvements was the self
binder, and that was thought out in a
brain that was on hire The self-binder
would have been an unmitigated blessing
but for the tariff tax that straightIy was
put on Irvine.

Garden and Forest

"Tree Pruning" was the subject of a
lecture by the director of Kew. Mr.. This
elton Dyer. at the last meeting of the
Royal Horticultural Society. 1t is a fact
that only very few people pay any atten-
ton to the proper manipulation of young
trees intended to form ornamental speci-
mems in parks and gardens. As a rule, q
tree is allowed to grow as it likes after it is
once planted. and as q consequence
large proportion of the trees one sees in
gardens are unshapely, and sometimes
even source of danger. Tree growers
who understand their business are alive TO
the necessity of careful pruning from the
nursery to the full development of the
tree. Mr.. Anthony Waterer declares that,
II properly managed. all trees should be
able 10 support themselves from the be-
ginning, and to enable them to do this
they must be prevented from making
strong lateral growth until the trunk or
backbone, of the tree has been formed
Mr.. Dyer pointed out that, with few ex-
captions, height is the first deslderatum in
a tree, and to enable it to attain this the
growth must be encouraged in the leader
and kept within bounds in the lateral
branches. In shallow soils most trees
have a tendency to become mop-headed.
Like root, like top. is the rule that con-
trolls tree growth.
In deep soils there is less need of prun-
ing, but in all soils it is necessary to watch
the development of the trees and prevent
such growth as would throw the specimen
out of balance. OF course, the cultivation
of trees for timber is one thing. whereas
that of trees intended for ornamentation
IS another. But all trees require to he
looked after and kept shapely from the
first. The way To prune and the way not
to prune were pointed out by Mr.. Dyer.
and the value of coal tar and carboic acid
as a dressing for tree wounds was testified
to by the good results obtained by its use
