We are prepared to furnish either the Combined

liability to get out of repair have Induced to

peam we shall hereafter adopt this material,
experience convnces that we can give the Farmer

ten years longer than the best that possibly be man

The machine manufacture will be constructed ofhe
choicest materials and built in the most Thorough and

our country.
Our Cutting apparatus is different from that Of airy
other machine. We use two SCkles Instead Of one
worked in opposite directions by crank. This
