Tho following letter appeared in the Otago Daily Times of Saturday last, The subject is one of intorest to farmers, bo we reprint it:- Sir,-As a great deal has been lately said about the description of ronpera and binders at present In uso in New Zealand. I may mention that I was present a few days ago at atrial of tho Morcer reaper and binder which took place on'my farm, Hydo, and I can honestly say that tha work performed was as perfect as work of that description could possibly be, and the Morcer mil', china fully and thoroughly fulfilled all the pruiuisos held out by the agents, Messrs Reid and Gray, Not only were my. expectations full? realised, but thoy wera in every way exceeded. Tho niachino is a wondor, and all who witnessed the trial were loud in thoir praiso of tho thoroughness of the work done, and the beautiful simplicity of tho mechanism by which all the varied results weri accomplished. The pram operated upon was oats, which was fully 6ft high, green, and a very heavy crop, with considerable undergrowth, The cutting wns clean and regular, tho stubble left being oniy a few inchea in height, Tho bindiug was something to be seen, being firm, taut, and securely knotted. The absence of canvas appealed to me to k a very great improvement, and such was the opinion of all present. I am not a practical furnier, but' capable of forming an opinion of work when it is well done; and the work was well dono on tho occasion referred to, As eyidenco of mv sincerity I may mention that I havo become a purchiser of the Morcer machine.—l am etc, P, A.
