pears witli overhanging reel and rake attachment, being ad¬ 
justable sq as to suit various heights of grain. 
The Marsh Harvester. This machine has a feature not pos¬ 
sessed by any other machine on exhibition. It has an over¬ 
hanging reel and carries the grain by means of a canvas, to two 
persons who ride on the machine, and who bind the bundles 
while the machine is in motion. 
The kEtna is a new candidate for popular favor among the 
farmers. It is provided with reel-rake, also with dropper. 
Climax reaper and mower combined has been several years 
on trial and has met with flattering success. It has a sweep- 
rake with quadrant platform. 
Little Champion. This machine is of somewhat recent pro¬ 
duction. It presents a neat and tasty appearance, and is pro¬ 
vided with reel-rake. 
New Yorker. This is one of the “old settlers,” and was 
among the first to use the self-rake and quadrant platform. It 
has lately undergone several improvements with a view of 
making it lighter, etc. 
The Clow reaper is a Wisconsin production. It has its 
friends, and is on the list of competitors. 
The Beloit reaper has for several years been known to the 
public, and now ranks among the first class machines. It is now 
a self-raker. 
The Onondaga Chief is comparatively a new machine in the 
west. It presents some fine points in appearance. 
It is much to be regretted that the “ Automatic Reaper and 
Binder,” invented by S. D. Carpenter, one of our own citi¬ 
zens, was not on exhibition. The favorable reports in circula¬ 
tion of its performance in the field, has created quite an inter¬ 
est in it among our grain growers. 
Mowers .—There was a large number of mowers on the 
ground, all of which have their friends. Among the most 
prominent seems to be the Walter A. Wood’s, Economy, the 
World, the iEtna, Yankee Mower, John P. Manny’s, the 
Excelsior, Dodge, Little Champion, Esterly, Clipper, Climax,
