q rAttlesnake of the most vicious
looking sort, and upon examina-

rIe'o tests OF Rearers That Meant
Sport for Farmers as Well as Business.
The field test was the white-hot eli.
max of the rivalry among the reaper
kings; and it was great sport for the
farmers. 1t was a reaper circus-a
fierce chariot race in wheat field:
and Its influence upon the industry
was remarkable. 1t weeded out the
low-grade machines. It spurred on
the manufacturers to a campaign of
Improvement. It developed American
harvesters to the highest point of per.
lection. 1t swung the farmers into the
new path. Of scientific agriculture.
And 1t piled expenses so high that few
of the reaper kings escaped disaster.
A field test was conducted in this
fashion: A committee of judges was
appointed, and several acres of ripe
grain were selected as the battlefield.
After the field was marked off into
equal sections, each reaper took its
place. There were some times two
reapers and sometimes forty. The
signal was given. "Crack"-the
horses leaped; the drivers shouted:
and hundreds of farmers surged up
and down in excited crowds.
"All's fair in field test" said the
reaper agents who superintendent
these contests; though each man said
1t to himself. They were hardy and
