The wheat in which we cut was very heavy aud tureen, measuring in height [at an average] neai.y six feet. Half an acre was staked off aud allotted for each ma chine to cut and bind. The Marsh went in on he>- one-half acre at about 2.30 p.m , finishing up without a stoppage, or without once breaking the wire, in thitty-one minutes. On her second round the McCo mick broke down so that tho Marsh had completed htr work before she was again ready for action. Fis.ally, however, they waded through, meeting only with the slight inconvenience of havitg to stop from three to four times in every round on account of break ing their wir.. Time, o_e hour and thirty minutes. The Wood Binder broke down on the first round, and when in two hours she was again leady for the field was unable to complete her work, owing to the wet g. am [it was raiting hard] choking her down, some two hundred people witnessed this trial, and although a greater portion of them came as friends and supporters of the Wood and McCormick, yet, at the close of the trial, the public expression was strongly in favour of the Mar_h Harvester and Crane Binder. After ihe tri_l Mr Auten pro duced a testimonial which was signed by many prominent farmers.—Obediently yours, H. H. Hennikg. Weight of Harvesters avd Binders.— The Marsh Harvester and Binder is much lighter than some ot its competitors. It runs one horse easier. By actual comparison with one of its best known rivals, it was found to be nearly five hundred pounds lighter. It uses but one wire, and if the wire breaks the twister catches it without stopping the machine. One of its rivals used a double wire, and if either breaks, the machine has to stop and the driver get off, adiust his machine and re-thread hia needle. The twister on tbe binder is the sim plest in use, and dispenses with the complicated machinery required by all the other binders. The machinery is all in plain eight and can be easily understood. On some of the rival binders the machinery, which is very complicated, is concealed, and is difficult to put in order when once cut of condition. In fact this is the sim plest and most efficient and best. It is economy to buy the best. E.
