than in harvesting or reaping machines,
When these machines were first intro-
duced, a few years ago, they were a pon-
derous, intricate affair, which, to operate
them, tested to the uttermost the skill
of men and the power of the horse. The
first improvement made was to lighten
the draught, by reducing and simplifying
the machineqr. The second was to make
them deliver the sheaf, and thus save the
labor of one hian. Both these improve-
ments, with many others, have been sue;
cessfully aeadmpliehed, so that now even
the most 'inc filled,worktnen can operate
them with grefety and advantage, and an

The Watson Reaper.
For the last month there has been going
on in the columns of our leadieg papers
en immense amount of angry diecussioh.
between the makers and agents of the
Kirby and Champion machines, over the
judgment given at the late mowing
match held on the fann of Mr, Stanbury.
Now, while this discussion was in prog-
ress Mr. Watson, of the Kyr Agricul-
tural Works, satistiectthat the Huta ming
Bird mower machine was the excelsior
among mowing machines, (and, by the
way, a u3aehine of the very same con-
struction, although not made by the
above named gentleman, did actually re
receive the first prize at the late match),
turned his attention toward the getting
up of a new reaper, ivhich would be
both light and elegant, easy to manage,
and at the same time thoroughly capable
of doing its work in an efficient manner
' undeitall circumstances. While attend-
ing the reaping match held last week,
we came amain) our old friend, Mr. Wat-
ton, standing beside a new reaper of so
hovel a nature that we felt compelled to
examine it in all its parts.' It is so
small and light, as compared with the
other machines, that during the day we
heard it familiarly called "Watson's
baby," The following is a brief descrip-
tion of this new machine : First, . the
machine has but one driving wheel, and
into this wheel on the inside there works
t, small bevel pinion, which is on the end
of the crank or pitman shaft, and. from
this shaft a direct connection is Made
with the knife. The machine is thrown
out of gear by simply turning up a small
handle that is at the driver's feet. The
hapdle for tilting or rocking the eater
is quite convenient to the band of -the
driver, as is also the handle for raising
and lowering the bar. ‘The self rake at-
tachment is by far the simplest of any
made in the country, consisting of a bent
wheel and pinion, a standard upon
Which the whole 1 rake attachment
rests. Now,this self rake is fastened to
the machine proper by a single bolt that
goes down through the middle of it,
that is throngh the standard. It has
four rakes, any or all of which can be
made to act as rakes to deliver the sheaf
by a simple pressure of the driver's foot,
or the whole thing may be done by the
machine itself, by simply inserting a
split key in hems in the rake casting pro-
vided for the purpose. One distinctive
-feature of this machine is that it has a
moveable dividing board_ to properly di-
vide the grain while it is being cut, it
can be adjusted in this particular in a
way that can be done with no other ma-
chine. The finger or cutter bar is in a
direet line with the axle of the driving
wheel, thus the eonnection is the best
possible.

. We ncttice that the Johnston self -rake
reaper, nianufactured by Messrs. Patter-
son & Brother, of Patterson, Was award-
ed the first prize at the annual reaping
-
match, held on the farm of Mr. George
Stanbury, London Road, Aug. 4, 187
and from the expression of a]large m -
jenity li the fanners present, it was
justly e titled to the victory. There
were 16o mpeting maehines in the lie
and the
ecisiou of the judges gave sa
isfaction among the manufacturers pr
ent, whi�h was strong evidence in fav r
of Messrs. Patterson & Brother's reaper.
We learn that the Patterson agents sold

1 Bonus Grantingi
The Listowel Banner, in reply to some
remarks of the Wingham Mies in o
position to the bonus system,. pets the
question in a correct and forcible light s,
the folio ving quotation,: ,
"If ti is is a fact, why doe the Gov-
ernment of a country imp° e beety
protecti e duties upon the ma ufacturtd
goods of more wealthy neighbo s, to pro-
tect its growing manufacture and for
which ti e people have to pay eavily at
first, hi b because the Geyer ment be-
lieyes, hat ultimately, all w 11 be ben-
efited. r why does a Go ernme a

grants of land in new settlements, as ta
inducement to have the lands occupied
and im roved? Certainly, not 48ia.
matter of charity, but as a successfd
business transaction, which esults ti
absolute gain to all parties oncerne ,
In the case instanced, the term " bona
might, strictly speaking, be pplied ' o
both transactions, because th. principle
is , the same. And there is no one of
moderate intelligence but w i uld co
mend a government for so do' ---un
'stand that the nature of th cireu
stances I demanded it, and iso edm-
prebend' that it was strictly n accord -
awe with the principles of ' politteal
economy." The granting of hallway
bonuses is subject to the sa e gene's!
rules. Without the bonus the Compa y
would be unwilling to build w th it, ti e
road is built and running te adv .n-
tages are at once secured, aut thus t te
Company and people are gai ers. T e
whole question, in short, resolves ite If
into this: Without a bonus, a eertain a -
terprise may not be establiseed for a
long time, perhaps never. With a b n-
ue, it Will be started at once, and ts
benefits I secured, Will it pay that
municipality to ievest its money or not
in the manner proposed? This is the
whole question for consiclerat on, an . it
requires to be determined sol ly by the
particular circumstances of the case, d
by no general rule whatsoever."
