REAPER AND BINDER TRIAL AT MOSGIEL

C" Otago tally Times.")

A trial of reapers and binders came off at Mosgtel oo Friday under the aaopioea of theTalerl Agricultural Society. At tbe •how held la the district aboat the ond ot last year several of these machines were shown, bat tbe judges decided to award,. no p»lz9 as they were unable to determine their merit! without a trial on the fiald. Step* were then taken to induce owners of such machines to submit them for & trial, and the result was the contest on AViday, the spot selected for operations being on Mr John Reaton'a farm, situate aboat a mile from the township. The fol lowing were the maohlnes in tbe competi tion :—

Mauey Toronto Light Binder, entered by Messrs Reid, Maclean and 00. Bdokeye Lowdown, entered by, the Buckeye Hatvester Company, Reid and Gray, entered by Messrs Ref-5 •nd Gray. Aft Brantford, ertered by Messrs Full on, Stanley and 00, : M'Oormick, entered bj Messrs Morrow, Batsett ttcd 00.

'.There wu iome Burpee and also regret expressed that the Howard «d tbe Hoioiby did not oompete after having Mored suoh signal suooeas at Oainaru, The agents of the Howard reaper In form ru.that thef fullj Intended 10 com ' pate, and a maoUne was aent to the Danedln railway station to be forwarded, ,_ bat through toaiQ misunderstanding It wm not aeot. The land selected was reiy level taking It all over, bnt in one 01 two places there were hollows whioh were not at all weloomed by the con testants, eaoh of whom wee - qaired to ont four acres. Tbe crop wa& aa excellent one. bat all throngh It there was a vela of heavy wheat, ao that the oompeti;ors had 1 each to experience it, bat perhaps tbe Brentford and the Bold and Gray hid tbe worst of It. This, however, eoald not be helped, as the various allot ments had to be undertaken by some one, and ao ac to work matters hlrly, •nd In jovtfoe to all, the competitors were required to "de»w" for iheir re ■peotlve aeoilons. In this way things were carried out on a prinolple to whioh SO objection ooold be taken. There was a fair camber of people present to witness the competition, which commenced shortly after 11 o'olock, bat the MoOoimlok did not aturt till an boar later. It wts a oondltlon that should the foar acres be coveted in three hoars 60 points would be allotted. This bad the eff'ot of Indaolng the competitors to loee no time In aom pletlng thefr task. The judges were Ifeairs George Gordon, Jtimes Oughton, Bcmoel Young, Jtmes Oullen. Robert Charters, and Alexander Stephenßon, It It is almost a pity th»t thers »as no hill-side land provided, because a machine, no nutter how many points of veoommentialion it may h»va »btin It, is not perfect auleas it it fit for snob work. The m»ohlnes oa the ground yesterday had of course the latest improvements eonneoted with them, bat it 1b sot neces eary to enter into detiil regarding them here, ac tbe work they did on the field yesterday will give » hotter idea of what they are capable than ever so m&ny of our columns explanatory of their maahanisia. Daring tbe afternoon the work done was oatefally inspected by those on tbe ground end la every case there wereoomplimen ary remarks passed on It, la awarding polnta the judges did not consider ecc^ matteei M ctrength and durability of the machines not their (simplicity of construction. The general mtohlnery and the MOBBslbllity for repairs #es alto left untouched. All tbo machines completed their work under the stipulated time bat no nffic'al record was kept of tbe ezaot time of each competitor. It may be explained that the judges in carrying oat their duties went over ibe ground and did their work in pairs, and afterwards met and struck the average oC their awards. Following is a table showing ibe aggregate numbers of points awarded Jby the judges ;—

DREAMIN' O' HOME

I can't jes* tell what's come to her, an' yet I think it's clear That somethin's goin' wrong o' late—to see her sitting there A dreamin'in ;the doorway, with that look into her eyes As if they still was restin' on the old time fields an 1 skies.

She's always dreamin', d-eamin' o' the life we left behind, The li'tl^ two r >omed cottage where! the mornin' glories twined, The roses in the garden, the yeilow sunflowers tall, The violets—but she herself the sweetest flower o'all.

You see she useter sit there in the doorway, so content, The sunflowers follorin' the sun, no matter where we went; The brown bee sip pin' honey and a buzzin' , round' the place, The roses climbin' up to her an' smilin' inher face.

An' now she can't forget it. When I tell her 'Little wife, > There ain't no use in grievin' for that simple country life.' She twines her arms aroun' my, neck land smilin' sweet to see, > She says, 'It seems so far away to where we useter be T ..

There ain't no use in chidin 1 orsayin' words o' cheer; ' t There's Dothin! in the city life like she was use ter there, Where preachin' cum but once a month an 1 street cars didn't run, An' folks they tole the time o' day by lookin' at the sun.

'An larks got up at peep p' dawn and made the meddlers ring; ' " I tell you folks, when one's b ought up tojes' that kind ■_o' thing, • i It's hard to' get away from it j old feelin's bound to rise, An' make a runnin' over in a woman's tender eyes.

So there she sits a-dreamin,' till I got to dreamin' too, And when her head droops on my breast an' sleep falls like the dew An' closes them sweet eyes o' hers, once more we seem tote In the old home, where we 11 rest some day together—her and me. Atlanta Constitution.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A piDoh of carbonate of soda will keep milk or cream sweet in hot weather.

Mi'ik will remove ink at ins from carpets, tablec'oihe, etc , if applied directly. A email quantity of oitmsal porridge taken at bedtime, la tbe best of all remedies for sleeplessness, In hot weather, when meat ia likely to be toagh, dip it in vinegar before cooking. Thin will make it tender.

Oold water is the best remedy for burns and soalds. Keep them covered with a wet bandage, and they will not blister.

If a mustard plastor ie fixed with white of an egg instead of water, it will draw perfectly without blistering the most delicate skin.

Three grains cf alum will purify a gallon of water. Let it stand for a time, and if no filter ie to be bad, strain it through a piece of calioo.

, All milk puddings are much lighter if the whites of the eggs are beaten eeptrately, and stirred in just before the pudding ia baked or boiled. There is not much nourishment In arrowroot or corn flour puddings, both of which contain so much starch.

Baked milk is an excellent food for an invalid, it contains so mnch Eonriehment, *nd can often be taken when raw milk piovee too heavy. To prepare it, pat some good sweet ml'k into a ttone jar; tie paper firmly over the top, and stand it in a cool oven for five or six* hours. It should then be of the consistency of thick cream. I need hardly say that as milk cootiiins all the forty things necessary to our system, it should be freely given to invalids. If it cannot be digested in a raw state, then boil or bake it, and it will be invaluable.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE.

To the Editor of "Saturday. Night." Bir mingham, I recently came into possession of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be glad to assist in making them public. The following letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press. Ihey come from a highly responsible source, and may be re* ceived without question. MESSAGE from George James Gost* ling, L.D.S., 8.G5.1., Ph.C.I., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 1880, To Mr White, ' The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail. ,' \ G. J. G. "To the Proprietors of Mother Seigel's Syrup.

" Gentlemen,—The following remarkabl cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in con sequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother SeigePs Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's operating Pills, the use of her limbs was restated, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease, frequently doing the distance in three quarters of an houri Any sufferer who doubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will certify to the facts. "Appended is the husband's signature to the statement " (R. Spink.) "G. S. GOSTLING, "Ipswich Street, " Stowmarket." This is certainly a a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by this simple but | powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenfy of her best years; years in which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as life has to give. But, on the contrary, she was a miser able burden to herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder t is I No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us—we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles. It should be explained that the most remark able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease of the blood' Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then emoves from the system the poison already there. It is not a,.cure-all. It-*;does" its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs, But when were member that nine-tenths of our ailments

arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseises that appear to be s> different in their nature;

The best raedioine known is SANDER and SONS' EUCJALYPTI EXTRACT. Tests its iminont powerful effects in coughs, colds, influenza, etc.—the roliof is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy, and medical syndicates all over the globe, are its patrons, Read she official reports that accompany each bottle. We have no occasion to offer rewards, in proof of the genuineness of our references. | The official reports of medical olinics: and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne; the 1 diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam—all these are authentic docu ments, and, as suoh, not open to doubt. ; We add here epitome of one of the various oases j treated by Siegen, M.D., Professor, etc., Burning of the right hand through the ex plosion of a small oil stove. r The epidermis on the yolar and palmer side of the hand of the thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far as the joint of the hand. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx of the nail of the middle finger was coaled. The wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under aily applications of Eucalyptio Extraot dressing. The patient has retained the full use of the hand.— (Advt ' 1 .
