THE CULTIVATOR. 
April. 
hibiting their most highly wrought and perfectly made 
machines at the State Fairs, and supplying the orders 
subsequently received on the merit of these beautiful 
exhibitions, with those of the roughest and most ordina¬ 
ry character. We can not find room for his communi¬ 
cation entire, but only the following portions: —“ A 
farmer att'ending a fair, sees an improved machine. It is 
made of the very best material, and with the most exqui¬ 
site workmanship. It does the work assigned it, with 
precision and despatch. He orders one—announces his 
intentions to his neighbors—but when it arrives—how 
changed! He can scarcely recognize in the wretched 
machine before him, the least similarity to the beau¬ 
tiful one he had seen. Its performance proves a failure; 
and the neighbors are quite satisfied they are right in 
resisting all new things. A feeling of distrust towards 
all improvements is created.” He does not wish to ap¬ 
ply these remarks to the many honest machinists, whose 
work always satisfies every purchaser, and regrets that 
these should suffer, on account of the dishonesty of oth¬ 
ers. 
The remedy he proposes—exposure • in agricultural 
papers—would hardly be practicable. The community 
consists of a mixture of honest and reliable men, and 
those of an opposite character, and the public paper that 
should undertake to give a list of the latter class, would 
soon find the task attended with serious inconvenience. 
We know of no better rule than the one we once heard 
from a wise and shrewd man, “ never to deal with a 
dishonest person, no matter how good a bargain (appa¬ 
rently) you can make.” It may cost some time and 
inquiry to ascertain such machine makers as are worthy 
of the fullest confidence; but there are such men, and we 
know of no “royal road” to find them, other than 
through the labor of inquiry.
