Why McCormick Changed from trio
Xieft to the Right Hand Binder
It has been said that the conveniences
of one age become the necessities of the
next but no ordinarily sane iimn will
contend that the necessities of one age
shoirid become the inconveniences of the
next When binding was done by hand
the left hand cut harvester was a neces
sity The grain fell on the platform of
the harvester and was delivered into the
receiver with its heads towards the rear
of the machine The men stood in the re
ceiver facing the grain With the left
hand machine the heads of the grain are
at the left hand of the man doing the
binding so in taking out the bundle with
the band around it whether the man
turned to the front table or to the back
lablejie kept his position toward the bun
dle itself that is with the heads towards
his left hand hence in making the tuck

he shoved the ends under the band to
wards the heads Grain is handled by the
shocker by grasping into the heads as
shown in the illustration and the tuck
should therefore be toward the heads so
that it will not pull out
The hand binding harvester with men
to do the binding is out of date and so is
the left hand machine which has been
superseded by the McCormick Right
Hand Open Elevator the success of
which makes it seem highly probable that
there will be no progressive manufac
turer building left hand machines in three
yfiafs
The application of roller bearings to
grain cutting machinery was made by J
G Perry in 1S09 and his patent No
SG5S4 for an improved reaper showed
and described various ways of using roller
and ball bearings in harvesters
Unquestionably the most practical and
satisfactory application of roller bearings
to binders and mowers has been made by
the McCormick Harvesting Machine Com
pany The particular form used by them
was patented in 1SS2 and is now to be
found in all McCormick machines The
especially valuable feature of the Mc-
Cormick roller bearing is seen in the form
or cage as it is called which holds the
rollers from running together and if for
any cause the cage is taken from the
6haft the rollers will not fall out and get
lost
The methods of the McCormick Com
pany result in an annual saving of many
thousands of dollars to the farming pub
lic New devices are not embodied in
their machines until long and oft repeated
trials have shown them to be practical
It has been the same with roller bearings
as with everything else McCormick ex
perimenting is done at McCormick ex
pense and not at the expense of the farm
ers who are too often duped by manufac
turers who rush into print for notoriety
and bull the market with impractical
forms

Wood veneer Is being used to some
extent for doing up bundles Instead of
paper Curtain pole manufacturers for
instance -when shipping or delivering
poles in small lots -wrap them up in
veneer It costs a little more than
paper not much and it is much better
for the purpose Poles thus wrapped
are less likely to be creased by the
cords tiel around them and the veneer
is a better protection from bruises in
handling The veneer used for this
purpose is usually of elm wood and
made in the same factories where the
poles are made Veneer is also used
for wrapping up picture moldings

From the Republican Columbus Ind
Prof It S Bowman the able instructor
of natural science in the famous Harts
ville Ind college is well and favorably
known not only as an educator but also
as a minister of the gospel as for a num
ber of years he was pastor of the United
Brethren Church at Charlotte Mich be
fore coming to Hartsville
Some time ago he had a severe illness
which was cured almost miraculously A
reporter hearing of this interviewed him
regarding his experience Prof Bowman
was in the midst of his work when the re
porter called but he cheerfully gave him
a hearing
A year ago last fall said the Profes

but with no relief and also used many
different proprietary medicines spending
almost fifty dollars for these medicines

alone I then succumbed to a siege of the
grip in the middle of winter and was left
in a much worse condition My kidneys
were fearfully disordered and my diges
tion became very poor 1 was indeed in a
bad condition
A minister in conference learning of
my condition advised me to try Dr Wil
liams Pink Pills for Pale People I had
heard much about the wonderful curative
powers of this medicine but it was with
reluctance that I was finally persuaded to
try it as it seemed that nothing could do
me any good However I procured three
boxes of pills and took them strictly ac
cording to directions By the time the
last dose was taken I was almost cured
and in better health than I had been for
years I continued using the pills awhile
longer and was entirely cured I can
cheerfully recommend Dr Williams Pink
Tills for Pale People
Such was Prof Bowmans wonderful
story which was further indorsed by the
following affidavit

I affirm that the above accords with the
facts in my case It S BOWMAN

Japan is that of the wooden sandals

sandals have a separate compartment
for the great toe and make a clanking
noise on the street Straw slippers are
also worn and a traveler starting out
on a journey will strap a supply of
them on -his back that he may put on a
now pair when the old is worn out
They cost but a cent and a half a pair
They are rights and lefts and leave the
foot free to the air We never see those
deformities of the foot in Japan which
are so frequent in this country They
are never worn in the house but left

Some Water Uses Well ta Remember
The Phrenological Journal gives
the following useful hints on the ap
plications of water in severe attacks of
illness The adult members of a fam
ily should keep them in mind for an
emergency
A strip of flannel or a soft napkin
folded lengthwise and dipped into hot
water and wrung out and then ap
plied around the neck of a child that
has the croup will usually bring relief
in a few minuter
A proper towel folded several times
and dipped into hot water quickly
wrung and applied over the site of
toothache or neuralgia will generally
afford prompt relief
This treatment for colic has beoen
found to work like magic
Nothing so promptly cuts short a con
gestion of the lungs sore throat or
rheumatism as hot water when ap
plied early in the case and thoroughly
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bedtime is an excellent cathartic
in the case of constipation while it has
a soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels
This treatment continued a few
months with the addition of a cupful
of hot water slowly sipped half an
hour before each meal with proper at
tention to diet will cure most cases of
dyspepsia
Ordinary headaches almost always
yield to the simultaneous application of
hot water to the feet and back of the
neck
