performance, take pleasure IN saying July equalieo
NV expectations. The Reaper did its duty admirably,
even in tangled heavy wheat which, when not entirely
fat cut il so clean and smooth that raker With an
hours experience could place the shesyes SO snugy

the use Of my cleaner.
The mower also did its duty well-my meadows be-
ing covered principally with mixture of clover and

the two the Mccormick is much more durable, cuts
standing grain the best, cuts lodged grain great
deal better cuts more IN day, with no weight on the
horses necks-Manny's did make their necks sore
that they were unfit for use for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythe is much the easiest ground the
machine easy to turn while The Nanny IL very hard
