Business NoticesHARTESTING M^OECIIVEiaY Latest Field Trials of Reapers and Binders. SUPREMACY OF THE “ BUCKEYE" MACHINE. GREAT NATIONAL FIELD TRIAL OP REAPERS AND BINDERS, THE following article, taken from the “Melbourne Argus,” of December 16, 1886, is specially recommended to formers and all persons interested in agricultural pursuits. It is not alone of exceptional interest as an incontestable proof of the immense superiority of the “Buckeye” Reaper and Binder, but it goes to show how very possible it is for the most disinterested judges to make mistakes. The “Buckeye” is an American machine, and has no friends in Australia outside those who swear by it for its own intrinsic worth and the enormous advantages it possesses over all other machines for Economy and Practical Utility. The “Buckeye’’ took the premier position in this great struggle, with ease, winning the Grand National Gold Medal against two competitors, in whose company on. the showground it was not even considered worthy of a place, but the highly qualified judges who made the awards,' and but-for the protest which was then entered by the representatives of the “Buckeye'’ the public would not have been furnished with this additional assistance is deciding for themselves the relative merits of , , Theory and Practice in the art of judging. _ _ The “Argus” says :—The field trial of reapers and binders in connection with the late National Show at Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th instant, on Mr. Guthrie’s farm, about two miles from Shepparton. Owing to pressure of harvest work, crops in all directions being ripe, the attendance of farmers did not exceed 150, but great interest was taken in the proceedings. As at the lata show the judges placed the Hornsby Machine first, M'Comick second, and the Woods third, the “ Buckeye ’ representative disliked being left out in the cold, and demanded a field trial us provided by the rules, the M'Cormick also sharing in the protest; so the prizes were held over pending the field trial,. The crop i was ripe wheat, and the land was so rough that none of the machines could show very low catting, and the jolting over the hard clods was tolerably severe on horses, machine, and drivers. Two o’clock was the hour fixed for the trial, but as the “ Buckeye was the only machine then ready, a delay was caused by the Hornsby and M'Cormick experts giving their machines a preliminary rnn in the adjoining block of crop, and a start was not made till a quarter past 3. The .five judges gave great attention to their duties and were ably seconded by the sub-committee appointed by tue society, and the secretary, Mr Harold B. Tnrnley. About two acres were allotted to each machine, and they finished in the follow* in order :—“Buokeye,” Ih lOmin; Hornsby, Ih 19min; M'Cormiok, Ih 26min, The two latter ; machines were drawn by three horses each, while two lighter horses worked the “ Buckeye ” binder with equal ease. The decision of the judges was based on the following scale of points : , The judges (Messrs A. Rinkaid, H. Wilkinson, J. Grieve, J. Mclntyre and J. MoGuiueas) thus awarded the “Buckeye” the first prize, with the maximum number of points ; Hornsby second, with 43; and M'Cormiok third, with 37, adding that the work performed was the best they had ever seen, and their decision was cheered by the farmers present.
