The Johnston vs. the McCormick
Binders.
Some time ago there appeared an ar-
ticle in the Commercial making claims
by the McCormick people of superiority
of their binder over the Johnston bind-
er,in a trial on the farm of Elias Hersh-
berger, in Elk Lick. The claims as
made are practically unfounded, in that
Mr. Hershberger should have given
and most easy ‘to operate. Now, the
according to his fancy he preferred the
shape of the butts in the sheaves made
by the McCormick, while .the shape of
the Johnston sheaf was preferred by
some other up-to-date farmers. But
Mr. Hershberger’s fancy could have
been satisfied if the Johnstor binder
had been properly operated. Mr. H. at
the same time acknowledged that the
McCormick lost grain through the
elevators. This trial was gotten up ex-
clusively by the McCormick people,
without
agent. There were three McCormick
agents, including their expert at the
trial, while the Johnston had only one
man, who knew how to set up, but not
an expert in the running of the bind-
er, which was sold to Mr. H. Moreover,
the operator of both machines was a
friend to the McCormick machine.
The grain in which these machines
were operated was nice standing oats,
and it was acknowledged that both ma-
chines did excellent work, which any
first-class binder should do in such
grain.
An excellent test was made on the
farm of W. N. Moser, in which the Os-
borne, Wyckhoff and Johnston binder’s
operated, the McCormick failing to
present itself in the trial after an invi-
tation was given, although a sale was
to be made by the agent of the binder
doing the best work in his exceedingly
heavy, tangled and down wheat. After
the trial was made Mr. Moser was so
highly elated over the remarkable work
of the Johnston binder that he told the
agent for the Johnston machine, with-
out solicitation, that he wanted-and de-
cided to buy a Johnston binder. One
of the special features of the “Bonnie,”
or Johnston machine, is its powerful
elevating qualities, while the work and
durability of the machine cannot be
excelled. 2
Another trial was given on the farm
of John Yoder, with the Johnston and
McCormick binders, in wheat which
was much down and badly tangled, and
it was fully’conceded by those witness-
ing the trial that the “Bonnie,” (the
Johnston machine) did the best work
by far, with the lightest draught and
greatest “ease of operation, and Lewis
Horehler, who had lately purchased
one of the few McCormick binders sold
in this vicinity, stated that he would
not settle for the McCormick machine
unless it could be made to do better
work than it did, this season, in his
wheat and oats, claiming it made very
unsatisfactory work, although the Me-
Cormick agent did all he could to make
it operate successfully. And in con-
clusion, the fact of the matter is that
made by them in the Hershberger trial
to regain the losing foothold.
farmers of Elk Lick. as well as
places, are not so easily led astray in
these enlightened times and are fully
aware of the high merits of the “Bon-
nie,” (the Johnston binder) and realize
the paramount superiority of the “Bon-
nie” over the McCormick, which had
its day.

Their trip to Honolulu was unevent-

calm, and the boys thought it a good
opportunity to take a swim in really
deep water. “Oh, but it was fine;” he
says, “the water may have been fifty
feet deep, or six or seven miles for all
we knew, and no land in sight. Just as
we returned to the ship a great big
shark appeared on the surface about
ming; then, you bet, we realized our
danger.”
The native boys at Honolulu do not
seem to fear the sharks, for Marling
says: “It is fun to see them swim ;they
come out to the vessel and swim around

water and the little natives dive for
them, going as deep as thirty feet to

bearing fifteen children, then leaving

The Seclentific American Navy Sup-

The Scientific American, which has al-
[ ways been identified itself very closely
| with the interests of the Navy, is to be
| congratulated on the extremely hand-
some and valuable “Navy Supplement”
which it has lately put before the puh-
lic. We think that, if the average read-
| er had been asked beforehand what
{ kind of a work he would prefer upon
the Navy, he would have asked for just
such an issue as this,
Both the illustrations and the read-
ing matter are of the straightforward
| explanatory kind which is necessary to
| put a technical subject clearly before
the lay mind. It was a happy thought
to preface the work with a chapter up-
on the classification of warships and in-
sert a few diagrams by way of explana-
tion of the subtle differences between
cruisers, monitors and battleships; for
after digesting this chapter one is pre-
pared to follow intelligently the detail-
ed descriptions of the various ships
which make up the bulk of the issue.
One of the best things about this num-
ber is that it does not merely give an
external illustration of each ship, but
it takes the reader down below decks.
and initiates him into the mysteries of
the magazines, handling rooms, ammu-
nition hoists and motive machinery.
The sectional views of the interior of
the turrets of the monitors are excep-
tionally fine, as are the large wood en-
gravings of the engines of the ‘“Massa-
chusettes.” The last page of the num-
ber contains complete tables of the
new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the
various naval guns. A handsome -col-
ored map of Cuba and the West In#ies
is furnished with this issue. We.extepd
our congratulations to our contempo-
rary on the production of a work which
is well conceived and admirably ear-
ried out. This work is published by
