Show Perfect Machine. Mr. Howard Suhreo has on exhibition exhibi-tion at his depm south of the thentro, a Walter A. Wood harvester aud self-binder self-binder the most perfect machine of the character that we have ever seen. Aa the harvesters are already in use here, we need scarcely refer to them, except to atate that they are a favorite with everyone who has seen them operate. But the self-binder attachment attach-ment is a novelty. The economy and adi-autags of the binder will not fail to appear when we atate that it binds, and more firmly than if done by hand, tbe grain cut by the harvcater, thus saving the labar uaually performed per-formed by four or five men, and doing it better in every reapoot. Some of the points of excellence we gather from tbe circular: The binder will make a bundle at ovory revolution it allowed to work automatically; but by aimply preaBing a treadle under bia loot the drivercan arrest its motion until a sheaf of the desired size is gathered. The driver, without leaving his seat, can, by means of a lever, inBtanlly move the in the ctntre ol tbe bundle.no mailer what the length of the grain. It ia remarkably free from complication, and simple in its operation. One man (the driver) doss all the work. The machinery in the binder moves very alowly, eo that there ia but little friction, hence lillle liability to wear or breakage. Should any accident happen to the hinder, it can be taken ofl and the binders' tables attached. The change can be made in a few momenta. The draft of the harvester is aa light as that of any other machine cutting the aame width; and the draft of the harvester and binder combined does not ra; terially differ Irom than of tbe harvester alone, as tho two binders and bundle carrier on the latter nearly, if not quite, oompsnsate for the weight of and the labor performed by the binding attachment. The binder will bind all the grain that tho machine ma-chine will cut. We understand tbe harvester will soon be in operation in Davis county, when the farmers of that productive section will have an opportunity to witnt-aa the vorkinijj of this moat perfect and useful labor-saving machine ma-chine tho king of tbe field. |
