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do the binding is out of date, and SO is the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
seeded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, the success OF which makes it seem
highly probable that there will be no pro
gressive manufacturer building left hand
machines in three years.
The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. G. Perry
in 1869, and his patent, No. 1854, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear
ings in 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
q matter of fact this manufacturer is COM
paratively a beginner in the art of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
Internationally the most practical and sat
isfactory application of roller bearings to
binders and mowers has been made by the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company.
The Particular form used by them was patent
ed in 1882 and is now to be found in all Nc
Eormick machines. The especially valuable

GEN. PoRTER's TRIBUTE.
In commencing his Grafton Gen Horace Por-
Ger, orator of the day said:
1T is all like dream. One can scarcely real
ize the lapse Of time and the memorable events
which have occurred since our hero pres
ident was first proclaimed one of the
great of earth. The dial hands upon
the celestial clock record the flight
of more than generation since the le-
gions of Americas manhood poured down from
the lilltops, surged up from the valleys, kneli
upon their native soil to swear eternal al
legance to the Union and went forth to sea-
the oath with their blood in marching under
the victorious banner of U. S. Grant. To-day
countless numbers OF his contemporaries, their
children and their children's children, gather
about his tomb to give permanent sepulture to
his ashes and to recall the record of his i'm
perishable deeds.
He reached the highest pinnacle of human
distinction. Men have dwelt upon his achieve
ments till they know them all by heart. The
record of his deeds rises to the sublimity OF
an epoch. The story of his life is
worthy the contemplation of ages. He
his greatness; he did his duty and trusted TO
history for his need of praise. The more his
tory discusses him the more brilliant becomes
the luster of his name. He was natural lead
er; he was born to command. He was one OF
the men who marked the hours while others
only sounded Them No one can rob him OF a
single laural; no one can loosen the measure OF
his renown. He honored the age in which we
live and future generations will be illumin ated
by the brightness of his fame.

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 filed with grit, or worse, get
lost.
The methods of the McCornsick 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. It has been the
same with the roller bearings as with every
thing else Mccormick experimenting is
done at Mccormick expense, and not at the
expense of the farmers, who are too often
duped by manufacturers. who rush into

impractical forms.

Regarding Cotton.

Says the New Orleans Picayune: The
statistical position of cotton is strong,
1t being now evident that the season
will close with smaller visible supply
than has been experienced in quite a
term of years. A large American crop
will, therefore, be needed next sea-
son to meet the actual require
ments of consumption. While it is
probably true that liberal acreage
has been planted this season, there is
no doubt that the crop is late one,
and that it will be exposed to all the
risks which late crop must of neces-
sity run. Then again the overflow has
enforced a curtailment of the crop of
the Mississippi valley, and will render
whatever cotton may yet be planted in
the flooded district extremely late.
