up "The Star Spangled Banner" amid
tumultuous cheering and waving of

The next address was by Hon. Robert
L. Taylor, governor of Tennessee. AS
he advanced toward the front of the

The hand binding harvester with men to
do the binding is out of date, and so is the
left hand machine, which has been super.

machines in three years.
The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. c. Perry
in 1869, and his patent, No. S6,5S4, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear
ings i'll harvesters. In view of these facts
it is somewhat amusing to read the claims
OF certain reaper maker of the present
day, who says he was the first to introduce
roller bearings in harvesting machinery AS
a matter of fact this manufacturer is com.
paratively beginner in the art of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
Unquestionably the most practical and sat-
isfactory application of roller bearings to
binders and mowers has been made by the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company.

ed in 1882 and is now to be found in all Nc

Deafness Cannot De Cured

by local applications as they eannTt pt reach
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness ia
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left to the Right Hand hinder.

1t has been said that the conveniences OF
one age become the necessities of the next;
but no ordinarily sane man will contend
that the necessities of one age should be-
come the inconvenience of the next. When
binding was done by hand the left hand cut
harvester was a necessity. The grain fell on.
the platform of the harvester and was de.
livered into the receiver with it's heads
towards the rear of the machine. The men
stood in the receiver facing the grain. With
the. left hand machine the heads of the
grain are at the left hand of the man doing
the binding, 80 in taking out the bundle
turned to the front table or to the back
table. he kept his position toward the
bundle itselfTthat is, with the heads toward
his left hand; hence, in making the tuck he
showed the ends under the band toward the
heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by
grasping into the heads, as shown in the

feature of the Mccormick roller bearing is
seen in the form-or cage as it is called
which holds the rollers from running to-
gether, and if for any cause the cage is taken
from the shaft the rollers will not fall out
and get lost. In order to avoid the McCor-
mick patent the other harvesting machine
company who claims to be the originator of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the
metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers.
If the cage is taken out the rollers slip out
and become filled with grit, or worse, get
lost.
The methods of the Mccormick Company
result in an annual saving of many thousands
of dollars to the farming public. New de.
vices are not embodied in their machines
until long and oft-repeated trials have
shown them to be practical. 1t has been the
same with the roller bearings as with every
thing else--McCormck experimenting is
done at Mccormick expense, and not at the
expense of the farmers, who are too often
duped by manufacturers who rush into
print for notoriety and bull the market with
impractical forms.
