REAPING MACHINES. 
These machines are very important to the farmer, but the judges 
have been unable to decide fully on the merits of any one machine 
over another, having no facilities for testing the practicability of the 
machines. 
Mr. B. Densmore has an improvement over many others in an iron 
tooth rake passing the grain off at one side, by the power of the ma¬ 
chine. 
Mr. A. Palmer has also a self-operating rake on his machine, which 
is very ingenious and simple. 
Mr. T. R. Hussey’s machine is got up in better style and material 
than any other on exhibition. 
McCormick’s reaper was presented for exhibition merely. This 
machine was awarded the Great Medal at the exhibition in Lon¬ 
don. 
The machines on exhibition are the following— 
Hussey’s reaper by Quick and Hall. 
Self raking reaper, by Anson Palmer. 
New-York reaper, Seymour and Morgan. 
A convertible reaper, T. D. Burrall. 
Densmore’s reaping machine. 
The executive committee decided on examining the report of the 
judges, that no premium could be awarded to the reapers until a trial 
was had, to enable the judges to decide as to the qualities of the dif¬ 
ferent machines in operation.
