Illustration, and the tuck should therefore
be toward the heads, 80 that it will not pull
out.
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do the binding Is out OF date, and so Is the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.
seded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, the success Of which makes 1t Seems
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
ngs in haryesters. In view Of these facts
1t 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
matter of fact this manufacturer is com
paratively q beginner in the art Of resper
building and has originated nothing.
PROFESSIONALLY 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

which holds the rollers from running to-

from the shaft the rollers will not fall out

company who claims to be the originator of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the

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-rcpeated trials have
shown them to be practical. 1t has been the

fight The dispatch says that Crown

las fought courageously in the front
rank, risking their lives q hundred
times, and that they had IN ovation

was over. The government has for
warded to them its warmcst congratu-
lations. The king and the cabinet

that tho necessities Of one age should boz

livered into the receiver with its heads
towards the rear Of the machine. The men
stood In the receiver facing the grain. With
