HE first feature that strikes an observer when he sees
the Deering Ideal Mower at work for the first time, is
the total absence of the rattle and bang that
seems to be part and parcel Of the makeup of all other
mowers. There is friction, clatter, hardly sound,
as the sickle gdes with equal case through obstinate wire
grass or heavy alfalfa.
Because of the roller and ball bearings and the reduce
ton Of gears the Ideal Mower its action is positive and
instantaneous and the knife starts at the same instant the

Gan Officer" I'm London Telegraph)
In any account OF the way the Afridis
fight it is necessary TO include in the de-
scriptiOn the military characteristics Of
the frontier natives without regard to
differences Of tribe.
Their style OF fighting IS specially
adapted 10 the geographical conditions
of the country. Both at Fort Saraghari
and at Fort Cayagnari ! had an oppOr-
tunlty, with other officers, OF learning
the peculiar fighting ways OF the Afridis
Every race, OF course, has its own me-
thod Of combat. and the Afi1ds conduct
their operations against an enemy in a
manner altogether their own. 1t Is as
shifty as II is effective Few civilians
can realize how deadly it may become.
IT is bad enough when an enemy. creep
ing slowly up a hillside. lodges itself in
sections behind huge boulders and under
cover Of these, pours volley after volley
at the human targets--as those engaged
in the task Of guarding the summit be-
come. Watching the advancement of a
foe is not at any time an inspiring oc-
cupation; II IS worse TO see the half
naked Afridis creeping slowly and slowly
from boulder 10 boulder. This is what
takes place in broad daylight, but even
then the cunning Afrdi can circumvent
nature. Take. as an Illustration of this,
the way in which Fort Saraghari fell.
II occurred I'm broad daylight and within
sight Of the ncighboring fort of Caya-
gnari, where the stealthy operations of
the tribesmcn were observed by the i'm
perial troops. Attempts were made by
means OF signals 10 warn the defenders
OF the British flag Of their danger but
TO no avail.
Although considered impregnable. Fort
Saraghari, built OF square stone with two
bastions at opposite angles. was fatally
defective in design 1t had a dead"
point underneath each bastion-i. e.. a
point from which an enemy could be
neither seen nor hit by the defenders
The result was that while the contend
ing forces were firing against each other
the defenders I'm the forts and the as
sailants behind stone breastworks and
within ten yards of each other-a few
native-born engineers" among the
Afridis who had crept up TO the dead
point were mining a breach In one Of
the bastlons. Before this was made suf-
ficiently large to admit the savage tribes
men to make their deadly rush into the
fort, the undermining operations were
seen by the small force holding Fort
Cayagnari. These signaled 10 their
brothers I'm arms the danger awaiting
them. but the latter were too busily en-
ployed in repelllng the onslaughts Of the
enemy to benefit by the telescope obser-
vatlons of their comrades. And so every
one Of the twenty-one Sikhs guarding
Saraghari died at his post.
All this took place on the afternoon Of
September 18th. If the Afridi were crafty
in daylight, his cunning at night became
superhuman Many sentry has fallen
silently and mysteriousy in the Indian
night. A naked form, moving stealthily IN
the dark. as the sentry PAGES backwards
and forwards getting almost motionless
as the sentry draws nigh; a sudden bound.
by a dagger thrust this is the
end of many an Indian soldier and the
secret OF many q tribal victory.
