[Correspondence of the Xew York Tribune ] Great Farming Implement Trial at Aubnrn, New York. AUBURN, July 11. —The farm of W. S Leach, upon which the mowers are being tried, is one of tne richest among the rich lands of Cayuga county. It contains 2431 acres and 243 acres of tillable land, and all ot it workable in a few hours after a heavy rain. It is valued at SIOO an acre, the buildings adding very little to the value. The clover field, in which the mowers are now at work, has a very heavy growth —lodged flat It is also studded with that tall white blossom weed known as 'flea bane.' 'small daisy,' etc. The ground is smooth and pretty level, but owing to the condition of the crop, which has been reserved a week or more beyond its proper time, it is in a had condition lor mowing. The Buckeye machine, by Adrianc-e, Piatt & Co., No 1. The Eureka, by J. D. Wilbur, No. 2. The American Mow er. W. H. Halliday, No. 3. The Kir by, D. M. Osborn k Co., No. 4. These worked together. No 4 coming out ahead, cutting its acre in 40 minutes, cutting a swath 4 ft. 6 In , Mr. Osborn himself driving an excellent steady pair of horses. No. 2 cutting (5 ft. driven by the inventor, would have finished first but tor the accident of a breakage. This machine is unlike any other in use. the cutter bar being di rectly in front of the wheels. No. 1. driven by John P Adriance. cutting 4 ft. 1 in., was the next out, having made no stops, and backing for a clog only once slightly, finishing in 54 minutes. No 3 slightly exceeded the limited time of one hour for each acre. All the work was about equally well done, and considering the character ot the stuff cut, wa> remarkably well done. After dinner lour other Nos. were called .- Nus. 5 and fi Cayuga Chief ma chines, of C. Wheeler, Jr. No. 7 not being ready, ks place was taken by the same Kirby machine ihat worked be fore driven by the proprietor. No. 8 the same Buckeye as before. I will here remark that several ma chines entered in duplicate numbers, a-"single mowers." "combined mower and reaper," and " self-raking," so that the work of four machines may actual lv he done bv one. Of the quality of the work of all, I have heard but one opinion. All are competent, even new as they are, to mow, each its acre, in one hour, with out heating the journals or fatiguing the horses. It is certainly competent for any farmer to mow ten acres of tangled clover in a day; and in the case of the Kirby machine it is demon strated that it can he operated by a •'cheap hand," as the man who work ed it to day only has an income of 540,- 000 a year. At art}- rate it shows that such a man is wiliiog to labor in be half of the farmer, in the great work of improving machinery to facilitate larni labor. In the second trial the Kirby, driv • n by L>. M. Osborn, finished his acre first, coming out in 40 minutes—the others but little behind. The third trial ot four machines was by the Columbian Junior Mower, American Agricultural Works, New York ; the Harvest Clipper, R. Dutton. Newport, R I ; the Yankee Mower, Dow A Fowler, and an Iron Mower, Ohio and Buckeyo combined, Dodge 6i Stephenson. Of these the first out was the Yan kee Mower, in 48 minutes, with pretty severe labor of horses; tl.e Harvest! 'dipper next, working much easier. Like the others, these axe all excel lent machines. I leave it to the Com rnittee to say which is best. It is claimed for the Yankee Machine that it is very simple in construction and remarkably flexible, working with ease over rough surface. This is true, but we do not see how it can claim any great advantage over several others. The Harvest Clipper is one of the most compactly constructed machines in the whole exhibition, and has some features that must entitle it to a high place among its competitors. For in stance, all its gearings aDd shafts are so covered that they are not likely to become wound with grass, nor to en dauger those who are about the ma chine when it is in operation. So tar, the ditference in time of cut ting an acre between the fastest and slowest machine, is about twenty min utes L'nder some other circumstan ces this difference might not appear so strong, and it might appear to the farmer that the slowest machine was an easy working one, and would there fore And favor. But wo be to its pop uiarity if it proves both slow and hard upon the team. JULY 12 —At eleven o'clock there was no beginning of the Dynamometer trial, and so I abandoned that part of the field for the other, when I found the following machines at work : The Eagle combined machine of E F Har rington, Rondout, N. Y., ot Walter A. Wood s combined machines; and one of Osborne's one horse Ivirby machines. This machine cuts its acre in 73 min utes. The Hubbard mower which was to have gone in on this trial, met with an accident and had to haul off for re pairs. While the trial was in progress, the people were giving their attention to the operations of two of Bullard's Hay Tedders, many of them never having seen one in operation before They do the work of thinning hay most ef fectually, but with hard work for one horse. The two-horse machines work ed admirably. A number of rakes were also at work; several were toothed; one of thera newly patented by S. R. Nye. Barre, Massachusetts, shows some excellent improvements in the convenience of working. The wooden revolving rake mounted upon wheels, is a decided improvement upon the original. The raking of the lots mowed, de veloped the fact that all were about equally well mowed, except by the Eureka's; that by the Buckeye was generally spoken of with admiration, yet the other lots were all done so well, that no one eonld object to the quality of the work, nor the time in which it was accomplished. I could not help thinking that the Wood ma chine tried this morning was very hard to beat in every respect. At the second bout the machines tried were two of C. Wheeler's Auburn machines; one of Osborn's Kirby ma chines: and one of Aultman, Miller & Go's Ohio and Buckeye combined.— The two Wheeler machines cut their acre each, in 48 and 49 minutes; the other two were a trifle longer, and all did their work perfectly. Mr. Miller, the inventor of the origi nal Buckeye, was present, and felt justly proud of the continued success of bis invention for more than eight years. Some of his strongest compet itors at the first start, have been long since laid upon the shelf I believe the only one that was at the Syracuse trial in competition with the Buckeye, that still" holds its place, is the Kirby machine. McCormick, even, has been obliged so far to yield to the popular requirement, as to mount h ping and wa king, for even his dreams r.t times were disturbed by its reproachful pres ence. Children might take warning from this aged man's experience, and do nothing to wound the feelings of their mother, the first and best friend they will ever meet in this world. What Whisky Does. It meets many a luck lee traveler on the great turnpike of life, and rol s him of character and friends. It in trudes into happy families, saps the foundation of their peace, and drives them homeless, wretched and forlorn, to subsist on the cold charity of an unfeeling world. It meets a rnechan ie and causes him to neglect his busi ness, drives away his customers, and reduces him to a state of wretched ness and misery. It meets a tanner, and soon briars cover the face of his farm, his lences are broken down, bis habitation becomes leaky, and the windows stuffed with rags. Finally it sells his farm, and whisky sellers pocket the money, while the heart broken and sickly wife, with her little children arour.d her crying for bread, is turned out of doors. But where is that once thrifty farmer, kind and af fectionate father? Yonder in the street, a miserable wretch, wandering from doggery to doggery pawning b;s coat for whisky. And the vampires who hide themselves behind screens and blinds, are willing to take the last cent and then kick their miserable victim into the street because he has no more money. MISCELLANY. Bayard Taylor in Colorado. Bayard Taylor is out in the 'Far West.' In writing to the Tribune oi Denver, Colorado, he says ; First, let me say that the views which have appeaYed in the illustrated papers are simply caricatures. In stead of being a cluster of' houses on a flat plain, with a range of clumsy mountains in the distance and Pike's Peak standing alone in the centre thereof, it is built upon a gradual slope, rising eastward from the junction of Cherry Creek with the Platte. It is as well built as any town of equal size in the Mississippi Valley. The Meth odist Church and Seminary, the Banks, and principal busiuess houses, soiidiy constructed of brick (the former edi tice with considerable architectural beauty,) give the place an air of per manence, very surprising to one who bus just arrived lroic the East. Be yond the Platte the laud rises with a gentle, gradual slope, to the base of the Rocky Mountains, 12 miles distant, and there is no pari of the town bich does not aflord a view of the great range. Long's Peak, more than 15,000 feet in height, just tilis the vista of the principal business street. Pike's Peak is far to the left, overlooking to the head of the great Cherry Creek Val ley. Although business of ali kinds is extraordinary dull at present, and the people are therefore as much dispirited as Colorado nature will admit, Denver seems to me to have a very brisk and lively air. A number of f-übstantial buildings are going up, there is con stant movement in the streets, the hotels are crowded, and the people one meets are brimfull of cheerful en ergy. The stores and ware houses are thoroughly stocked, and prices are lower than one would expect, eousid ering the tedious and expensive iand *; transportation. At the Pacific Hotel you pay $4 per day—no more than in New York, and have an equally good ; table. There may not be such an ex , cessive bill of fare, but I could distin , guish no difference in the cooking.— Vegetables in the market are pienty and cheap, and appear to be of remark ■ able fine quality. , The dryness of the climate aDd oc casional extremes of cold in Winter . appear to me to be the principaldraw r backs. Near the mouth of Cherry • | Creeic there is a grove of venerable ! cotton woods, and perhaps a dozen i other specimens are dispersed singly I through the lower part of the town: i Attempts are now being made to coio s nize this tree —which makes a green r spot, ugiy though it be—around the -J houses Tn the higher streets, and with ii a tair prospect oi success. The milk, r cream and butter from the adjoining j farms are belter than they are in most ■| of the Western States. VenisoU and i antelope are abundant, and canned a j fruits supply the want of fresh. s j I should estimate the population ot Vol. LVI. So. 31. Denver at about 6,
