The main tent of John Robinson s

time. There were 5000 people in the
tent and about so persons were in

their attempts to get ont. At the
height of the panic thieves stole hun
dreds of hats and umbrellas, several

A Correction.

LANCASTER, Wis Sept. ID, 1899.
MIR. EDITOR: | notice in the last
issue of your paper that you gave an
account OF the field trial on Mr.. Aus
tins farm between the Mccormick
and Deering Corn Haryesters. You
say the 'sDeering won on all points, its
work being superior in every respect,
there being no side draft y The facts
are these: Mr.. Austin would not sub
nit to decision rendered by any set
of picked judges. The Deering people
tried to have him commit himself to
buy the machine the judges decided
was the best. He promptly informed
them that he was capable Of judging
which was the best machine and that
it was not necessary for someone else
to decide for him. His decision was
the Mccormick machine which he
bought and kept on the farm. He
says the bundle carrier is far superior
to the one on the Deering and the ma
chine is much easier handled and
takes up down corn much cleaner.
A majority of the farmers present
congratulated me on the successful
work of the machine, two of whom
placed their order for Mccormick
Corn Harvester.
| have challenged the Deering flat
binder to contest Saturday, Sept.
16, and if they have nerve enough to
come into the field | will be satisfied.
| will venture there will not be a
single farmer present but what can
see the superiority Of the Mccormick.
| only hope they will come into the
field and bring their bundle carrier.

Mccormick Harvesting Machine Com
pany, Madison, Wis.
DEAR SIRs: | requested both Nc
Cormick and Deering agents at this
place to bring a corn binder on my
farm and the machine that did the
best work would keep. The McCor-
mick opened up the field, cutting ten
rows, doing nice, clean work and
never missed a bundle. IN cutting
their down row the work was clean,
much better than ever expected any
machine could do.
The Deering opened their piece
then. In cutting it they clogged sew
eraI times, and in cutting their down
row. they choked and were compelled
to run over it as they were unable to
pick it up. They complained that
they had the worst corn and that the
Mccormick could not cut where they
failed. l told the Mccormick agents
to hitch on again and they did so,
cutting pumpkin vines and all, and
did iteclean without a skip. | say to
anyo wanting a machine to buy a
Mccormick retained the McCor-
micklmaehine on my farm.
