As thewheat crop this year is a very large' and good one, and hands rather scarce hi consequence of the departure of a' good- many to the northwest, the gathering af it is a matter of no small moment,' and has caused farmers to look around them and conSider-what-was-the best -means lo- be used—the'old reaper or a self-binder— in gathering their superabundant harvest. T -he formenthey knew could be, deliended- upon to the extent of cutting it down, but could ithe cut and bound as cheaply As • bysa self -binder, when men to do the bind- ing would cost $2' a -day and board?. TO test the "matter, several farmers in this neighborhood.7, obtained a self -binder this year, and so soon as the grain was ready —in 'fact before -it Was ready—the 'ma- chine, with three horses was put to the trial:: UnfortimatelY for the Machine very few fields were in a,cendition togiye it a fair trialrets-tbe grain was very mut lodged by thelate rains, and even when 'the machine cut and tie t e sheaves the straw Was so matted together that it re- quired ft man to wrilk beside the' machine and separate the sheaves. • It also appear- ed as if some of, the machines were not adapted to reap so heavyaTcrop as was grown -this year, as they became clogged - after - a short time and had to.be stopped to free them. This•was ov_ercorne to .soine degree by not allowing the machine to Cut toth &full length of the knife, thereby de- creasing the .arampat of straw taken up in a given distance, 'as the machine had to make so many revolutions of its wheels to bind -a- sheaf. - There are carnally contin- gencies in the crop § that it will be diffi- cult to so construct e self -binder that will meet all'conditions and give Such satisfac- etion -to-the -farms er-that interest to procure and use one. In the first placeot costs a large sum, and it 're- quires' more horse power, together with the Ob -St of twine for binding, making it a matter, of•no snaall consequence to farmers Onethe lar.ge farms of the west, where the self -binder is almost imiversallyused many advantages ere enjoyed. In the first place the machine, frofeTheveral years trial, has become More thoroughly adapted for the' -crops they have to cut, theybeing more Uniform there than here, and as several _machines are used together a skillful. me • chanie is kept on the ground to repair any: damage done and keep the machines in geed workingeorder.. The land, is also generally more level, permitting the ma- • chine:to cut to the best 'advantage ; hands, • also:being scarcer the use otthe self -bind- er is almost 'Imperative. 'I'here • is no doubt but what improvements will be made, and the machine se -simplified that farmers will be able to operate with it as easily as they now do with the reaper. — The work this year can scarcely be con- eidered a fair test cif the qualities of a self binder, for everythhig 'ha,e -been against ••••• 411.- IT'IS TRUE ?—A Winghanx paper says: • "Dame rumor has it that'Mr.Arch: Taylor has gone east as fee as Hamilton at least ;with the intention of 'committing matri- mony.'
