Information About Corn Harveuterg.

AtAeVAH@N~~ANAA N~NNSAEh
The following public statement hes
been issued by d. M. Osborne & Co.,
the Auburn, N. Y, harvester maniac.
turers:
An article having recently appeared
in the papers referring to the settle.
ment Of the suits between the McCOr.
mick Harvesting Machine Company
and this company that may be mis-.
leading and misunderstood, we desire
to advise you that the settlement Of
this suit was an smiCsbls arrangement
entered into voluntarily by both com
panies, and that the decision recently
entered up was made with our consent.
Each company has transferred to the
other certain rights In certain patents
essential to the binding Of corn In an
upright position.
The mutual agreement practically
carries with 1t the control Of the up.
right corn harvesting and binding ma.
chinery by these two companies, and
our 1897 machine will have all the dis
tinctlVe features Of our 1895 model,
together with many new improvements
not found on any other corn harvester.
During the two years we have manu-.
factursd the Columbia the decided
favor IL has met with has exceeded our
expectations, and the demand for them
has been so great that we have been
unable to supply It, Its ability to har-
vest corn under the most trying and
stubborn conditions has only been pos
slble by the use Of new devices psCu-
llsrly adapted to easily handle such q
heavy crop.
FirSt-The reciprOesting feeding jaws
reach we'll in advance Of the knife,
force the cut, and positively avoid
pulling corn up by the roots.
Second-The Columbia has two
speeds Of chains, the front pair run.
ming fast enough to strsighten up sll
leaning stalks and incline them little
toward the machine before they are
cut off; the rear chains running at q
slower speed In unison with the butt
conveyorS, deliver the stalks In good
condition to the binder attachment.
Third-All the gearing Of the binder
attachment is high above the ground,
well protected from dirt.
Fourth-The binder floor or bottom
can be raised or lowered, for binding
long or short corn, BY q lever within
easy reach Of the driver.
Flfth-The powerful drive wheel
with side extension lugB prevents the
wheel from slipping and gives greater
possible traction power,

anced and has no side draEt or neck
weight.
With these valuable features which
are found only on the Osborne Colum-
biR Corn Harvester, we feel that we
offer to the trade the best machine
ever produced for harvesting corn, and
In fact the only one thGt aOiE do it per.
fsctEy, regardless Of Che conditions Of
the crop.

tiOn great injustice by sttrlbutlng the
opinions expressed In the article to this

This was explicitly stated In the flrst

which the Capital neglected to copy.

sas as incontroVsrtible evidence Of the
broader success which awaits the de
velopment Of a fuller knowledge :of
the situation and the more extended
use Of the water resources which nature
has provided with great llbersllty, al
though In different manner from that
to which most irrigstOrs are accus-
toned.
Instead Of advising KansSns to dis.
continue their efforts at irrigation, as
suggested in the headings which the
daily papers have given to their ex-
cerpts from our California friends
views, we have uniformly held that a
large portion of the plains are redeem
able by the artificial application Of
water and that nature has provided a
constantly replenished supply Of water
In q great underground reservoir Of
sand and gravel, from which 1t may be
obtained without greater expense than
the average cost Of water In countries
where irrigation has long been success
fully practlced. The Kansas Farmer
believes that man who has piece Of
the rich lands Of the plains of Kansas,
where the depth to this great reservoir
iS not over fifty feet, has the founds.
tiOn for a prosperous farm. Where
the depth Is not more than 100 feet
good living may be made, and where
the depth is ten to twenty feet he has
under him fortune.
That stOek.raiSing, dairying and
poultry raising should constitute Inn
portsnt features Of the farming Of the
plains, and that the rich and unused
native pastures should be grszed, are
propositions not open to argument.
With the advancing prices of farm
staples, which seem inevitable from
the most careful statistical estimates
Of demand and possible supplies, the
outlook for the farmer is better than It
has been for many years. Their has
already commenced as to wheat, and ls
likely before the close Of the century,
to be distinctly noticeable 90 to farm
staples In general. These can be pro
duced in great abundance on the plains
Of Kansas by irrigation. The grains
and forage can be fed to excellent ad-
vantage to animals which live half the
year on the cheap grazing which so
forcibly impressed our California
friend.

PUBLIC USE OF WATER.
The Supreme Court Holds that Its Use for
Irrigation Is q Public One.

p9nQlng A0 Inc SGSC6 cUUEtS VA O0AA-
fornia and In the Federal courts 9 case
which involves the question Of whether
the use Of water for irrigation is pub
lie one. The case has recently been
passed on by the United States Su'
preme court, and that the reader may
have an intelligent idea of the scope OF
the decisions Q liberal extract is here
given from the courts opinion:
"To provide for The irrigation Of
lands In States where there Is no color
of necessity therefor, within any fair
meaning of the term, and simply for
the purpose Of gratifying the taste OF
the owner, or his desire to enter upon
the cultivation Of an entirely new kind
Of crop, not necessary for the purpose
Of rendering the ordinary cultivation
OF land reasonably FemuneratlVe,
might be regarded by the courts as an
improper exercise of legislative will,
and the use might not be held to be
public In any constitutional sense, no
matter how many owners were inter
ssted In the scheme,
"On the other hand, in a State like
California, which c0nfeBgedly embraces
millions Of scres Of aria lands, an act
Of the Legislature providing for their
irrigation might well be regarded as an
act devoting the water to public use,
and therefore az q valid exercise Of the
legislative power. The people Of Cali
forniS and the members Of her LegiS.
lature must In the nature Of things be
more familiar with the facts and cir
Cumstsnce which surround the subject,
and with the necessities and the oCcs-
sion for the irrigation Of the lands,
than anyone who ls o stranger to her
soil. This knowledge and familiarity
must hsYe their due weight with the
State courts, which are to pass upon
the question Of public use in the light
Of the facts which surround the sub.
jeet In their own State,
''For these reasons, while not re-
Rardlng the matter as concluded by
these various declarations and acts and
decisions Of the people and courts Of
California, yet we, in consideration Of
the subject, accord to and treat them
with very great respect and we regard
the decisions az embodying the delib-
crate judgment and mstured thought
Of the courts Of that State on thisques
tion. Viewing the subject for our
selves and In the light Of these circum-
stances, we have very little difficulty
in coming to the same conclusion
reached by the courts In California.
The use must be regarded as public
use or else 1t would seem tofOllow that
no general scheme Of irrigation can be
formed or carried into effect.

Of otherwise worthless lands would
