put upon the market next season. This new 
cord-binder has several new and important 
featuresit does not elevate the grain as 
high as most binders and discharges the 
bundles nearer the ground. It has very little 
machinery to get out of order ; it has a new 
vibrating butt-ovener that is very effective. As 
simplicity is now sought for in all kinds of 
agricultural machinery, this should prove a 
success.” 
[Full information regarding the above binder 
will be furnished on application to the Sand¬ 
wich M'f’g Co., Sandwich. Ill. Eds.] 
WHAT OTHERS SAY. 
The London Times says : No crop, is is said, 
will be an average. The wheat plant is not 
tall or strong, and the ear is small. The root 
crops have only just been placed out of danger, 
Upon the whole, it is very doubtful whether 
this year will do anything to make up for the 
losses of the past. 
We are glad to see that Mr. Hovey is so 
much the friend of the Baldwin apple that he 
cannot bear to hear it spoken ot as ’"utterly 
worthless." An apple, Mr. Hovey says in the 
London Chronicle, so well known by English¬ 
men fs the Baldwin, whose exportation to 
England has increased within a few years 
from a few hundred barrels to almost as many 
thousands, would seem to require no addition¬ 
al evidence of its excellence. It is the apple 
of the New England States, aud indeed of the 
whole Northern United Slates; and, taking it 
in all its qualities, has more excellences and 
fewer faults than any other apple in the world. 
That a variety now approaching a century old 
still keeps m advance of every other variety 
that haB been produced since its origin, shows 
what a valuable fruit it is. At one time the 
Newtown Pippin was the onlv American apple 
known in the London market, and though, 
from its very hard, firm flesh, and lc ug-keep¬ 
ing qualities, it is the best variety for shipping 
without loss, the greater beauty of the Bald¬ 
win, its crisp, tender flesh, and remarkable 
combination of sweet and acid, are causiug it 
to take the plac-e of the former, which can 
only be grown in a few favored localities in 
the Middle States. 
Mr. Hovey was therefore quite astonished to 
see an account in an English journal, copied 
from an American paper, stating, upon the 
authority of Mr. Ellwanger, of Rochester, N.Y., 
that the Baldwin “as a table fruit is utterly 
worthless," and could not be eaten without 
“ direful results.” As Mr. Hovey has uot only 
grown it for 40 years, and ealen it before 
breakfast and after supper during all this time 
in preference to any of the 200 varieties 
he cultivates, and has not yet experienced any 
•• direful results,” this statement took him by 
surprise. If this were true he should deem it 
his duty to caution the English people to pur¬ 
chase no more of the thousands of barrels 
which will probably find their way to the Lon¬ 
don market. 
However, strange to say. Manning, Downing 
and other American pomologists class the 
Baldwin as *• standing at the head of ail New 
England apples, and unquestionably a first- 
rate fruit in all respects." The latest report 
of th.i American Pomologieal Society (N. Y.) 
says that it has “ stood aud still stands pre¬ 
eminent as a market fruit,” and that it coutiu- 
ues to be the “ leading apple,” and ** whatever 
profit has been made from raising apples is 
mainly due to this variety." Even in Roches¬ 
ter, New York, at a meeting of the Western 
Fruit Growers’ Association, it was recom¬ 
mended that iu an orchard of 1,000 trees at 
least 700 of that number should be Baldwin. 
The sparrow m England has few friends. A 
writer thus expresses himself iu the London 
Farmer: If a tithe of all the maudlin senti¬ 
ment expended on birds which are only evil 
and mischievous in the garden were bestowed 
on tne gardeners who are the helpless victims 
in many places of their sweeping raids and in¬ 
cessant depredations, it would be more humane 
and—well, infinitely pleasanter for all parties 
concerned. I have been constantly a lover of 
birds from my childhood, am never weary 
of their winning ways and pretty plumage, 
nor too tired to listen with something akin to 
rapture to their sweet songs ; but the early 
chatter of &parrows is suggestive to me of a 
ravenous crew of thieves starting forth in 
gangs to steal or wreck all that is most crisp 
aud sweet in the garden. Let no one talk or 
write tome of early birds gathering the wot ms ; 
the span ow never eats one, nor a caterpillar, 
but crisp lettuces, bursting fruit-buds, sweet 
marrow peas—these they cram themselves 
with all day loug, till they are almost, loo lazy 
or fat to flounder or rather fly home to their 
roosts in the eaves. The mischief they do to 
thatched cottages is also incalculable. In a 
word, the sparrow is a nuisance to get rid of.

NEW SAFETY STEAM ENGINE. 
THE WHEELER AND MCLICK CO‘S. NEW SAF8TY STEAM ENGINE 
Albany, N. Y.. with Graham’s patent safety 
coil generator, aud is especially adapted for 
agricultural purposes. Among the numerous 
advantages claimed for it there is room here to 
mention only a few. The first essential re¬ 
quirement for all farm engines is safetv. In 
the purchase of engines for agricnitui’al pur¬ 
poses this consideration should always hold 
the first place. This engine is claimed to be 
perfectly safe for this reason: It is constructed 
of one continuous pipe, and the water neces¬ 
sary to run it is only about two quarts per 
horse power at any one time in the entire 
length of the coils, the size of the pipe not ex¬ 
ceeding the size of feed-pipe to the engine; 
consequently, if the coils should become rup¬ 
tured at auy point, it would cause only a 
moderate blowing off of steam, and as the pipe 
is tested to four or five times the ordinary 
working pressure, it tvould be almost an impos¬ 
sibility to even rupture a coil. 
The engine ia extremely economical of fuel 
and time, for, owing to the small amount of 
water required iu the generator, steam can be 
raised to a pressure of 100 pounds per square 
inch with cold water and ordinary fuel iu tea 
minutes, consequently time and fuel are 
saved, while the rapid circulation prevents 
the deposit of scale. Then again, the construc¬ 
tion of the engine renders it remarkably dur¬ 
able, light, simple and easy of conveyance 
from one place to another. 
The well-earned reputation of the manufac¬ 
turers is ample guarantee that the engine is 
made of the best material and in a thoroughly 
workrnaulike manner. The coils are made of 
the best lap-welded pipe, and stayed; fire¬ 
brick lining is above gTates ; there are a large 
grate surface ; double jacket around coils ; 
hinge-stack, to lower when moving; improved 
spark arrester; safety-valve as large as pipe 
in coils; jacket around separator and evliu- 
der; engine an improved upright pattern, with 
balanced crank; extra long bearings; sleel 
connection-rod and cross-head, ivith improved 
brass gibs for taking up the wear; brass stuf¬ 
fing-boxes and followers ; iron trucks; easy 
spring scat; steam whistle ; steam and water 
gauges; large ash-hearth; suction hose, oil 
cups, wrenches, w'hiffletrees, etc. 
Two kinds are made:—No. 1 is usually rated 
at from five to eight horse power ; weighs 2,500 
pounds and costs, at the shop, $050. No. 2 is 
usually rated at eight to twelve horse power; 
weighs, complete, about 4000 pounds aud costs, 
at the enop, $850. Full information will be 
promptly furnished on application at the above 
address. 
The Sandwich Cord Binder. 
This engine is manufactured by the well aud 
favorably known Wheeler and Meliek Co., of 
A member of the Rusal staff writes us from 
Sandwich, Ill., under date of July 26. 
“ I saw the workiug of the Sandwich Man¬ 
ufacturing Company’s new Cord Binder 
(Travis's patent) to-day in a field of oats on 
the farm of Artemus Miller, Sandwich, Ill. 
The binder did excellent work, bludiug the 
gavels tight and even. It is lighter than the 
majority of self-binders and as it has showu 
good work throughout the several tests that 
its manufacturers have put it through, it will 
be likely to prove a popular binder. It will be
