Machines manufactured at Auburn by D. M. Osborne &Co., now find a market in nearly all of the grass and graingrowing portions of the habitable globe; and they are in useas aids in gathering the harvests of the world every monthin the year. To-day, though mid-winter here, the click ofAuburn manufactured machines is heard by our antipodesin far off Australia and South America as they sweep downand gather into bundles the ripened grain of those countries. Mr. Kirby removed his family to Auburn in 1863, thoughhe for several years previous had spent the most of his timein this city. Mr. Kirby in early life was without pecuniarymeans, and for j^ears it was an unceasing but uncomplaining. 150 INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS struggle with poverty. With fixed purpose and a couragethat was equal to the occasion, untiring industry marked liisefforts, and success was the result. Mr. 0 H.

Tohim has been granted several patents for improvements madeby him in harvesting machiner}. The first bears date June7th, 1864, and was for an improvement in self-rakes; a rakethat was ai-ranged to sweep in the arc of a circle across aquadrant shaped platform, and had a rising and falling mo-tion so that it could make the return movement without dis-turbing the accumulating grain on the platform.
