The hand binding harvester with men to
do the binding Is out of date, and so is the

The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. @, 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 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
a matter of fact this manufacturer is com
paratiyely a beginner In the art of reaper
bDilding and has originated nothing.

BUSINESS METHODS.
! Why Farmers Should Look After
Their Insurance Policies.

Farmers sometimes forfeit their in
surance by neglect. While the mu-
tual companies do not, as we under
stand it, hold farmers to the strict
letter of the law as do the stock COM
panies, out go more on the equities of
the case in their settlements than on
strictly legal points, nevertheless 1t
is wise to have everything straight
at the start and keep it straight. For
example. many farmers during the
year make additions to their build
irgs. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional
Insurance, whether against fire, light
ming or tornado, should be taken out
10 cover the increased value. Many
farmers sell or trade properties during
the year and this yitiates their policy
unless an assignment is made, returned
TO the company, and new policy
issued. Where farmers do not sell
outright they frequently deed por-
tons of their property to their wives
or members of their families, thus
making a change of title and in each
case the policy should state the facts.
Another matter. In making out a
policy always see that the property
that you wish to protect is specifically
mentioned in the policy and that II
is so mentioned that there can be no
dispute about it. For example, We
heard of case lately that is likely to
lead to litigation in stock company.
The farmer so insured carried so much
insurance on grains. A fire occurred
and in addition to the grains a lot OF
clover seed was burned. The question
came up at once, is clover seed grain
It viii be very difficult to prove that
it is. Therefore the policy should read
grain and clover seed, or any other
kind of seed.
Another matter. Always keep your
policy where you will know where TO
get it should it be needed for any pur-
pose and if possible keep it in FIRE
proof safe. Bankers usually take care
of papers of this kind and it would be
good thing to leave your policies
together with your banker, or in some
other place where they are as safe as
possible from fire.-Wallace's Farmer.

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--MeCorTnick 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

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

It has been said that the conveniences of
one age become the necessities of the next:
but no ordinarily sane man win 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
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, so in taking out the bundle
with the band around it, whether the man
turned to the front table or to the back
table he kept his position toward the
bundle itself-that 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
