THE NEW M'CORMICK KNOTTER.

The cnteipiisin^' Ml 'orniiek lieaper aiut liindpi 1 Aliinuf.ictiiriiiK Company have biou^ht out this year a novelty ill the shape of a new knotter. The old kiioltcr removed from an oidtnary .M'Cormick icaper bclon^inj,' to Mi Krii-e, at hi-^ farm at I'.ip.inui hist, Thursday, the new knotter was pul in its place, and woik commenced in n tield ot o,U.^ Mr Kriix:

has been ru-ci vinn for n.iteii i-heaf clmll. The trial wn- sati-factory in Hie liU'ltest decree, the sheaves hi-in;.' bound admirably and the knetter uoikin.i: like clockwork. Oivneis of M't'oniin-ks, or in fact of any stiint,' binder, know how intricate is the machineiy ol ihe knotteis in common me, and when they an: (old tlml the new kimllei is made up of only .seven parts that a child cm. ld put together, they will readily undci -.land that the new knoltcr is exceedingly .simple. The new knoitei can be substituted for tbeoldoneon any M'Coimiek machine, and so easy i 1 - it to work, so little liable without K'"'-s ill-ii-;i:ic t» wiun^, and

sci sub-tantial in its inaimfaeture, tiiat it dispenses wholly m itli the sim vices ol an expt'it, as the fanner can now very easily be his own machine dootoi. The tension can be re^nlalcd by a touch, and altogether the. invention i.i one- of the best things the M'Couuick Harvesting Company have turned out for a long time. Mr

Ackermau, the company's expert in (Jhri.steliuieh, lixed the knotter on Mr

Krusc's machine, Mr Kruse himself working the harvester. The knotteis arrived too late for this year's harvest, Mrßiissett (of Mes-.ss Morrow, Ha^eH, and Co., agents in Chiistcliurch for the M'Cormick machine) informs us, but from the number

of older., alieady received theie is every indication that (he days of the old knotter have 1 cached their term. — l.ijllrlton Times, Maieh 31st.
