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.

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-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
print for notoriety and bull the market with
impractical ,orms.

naval development of all the leading
powers of the world have been received
recently by the secretary of the navy
under instructions to naval representa-

dictate a decided forward policy with
all the great powers and there seems
to be no purpose to reduce expenses.
While no comparisons between the
naval strength of the United States
and of the European countries have
been made. it is apparent from the re-
ports that Germany is little if any
ahead of the United States in the size
and power of her fleets. Italy and
Russia continue to outrank the United

being built. Russia will soon lose the

railroads to issue a 5000 mile inter

to the enactment of laws fixing the

mile by the legislatures of the western
states. They find that such reduced
rates would be good for every body,
and what they desire is lower rate
than the general public gets.
