expensive when it is gotten.

Dear Sir-You wanted to know how l

used the combined machine, aud saw u
number of others in operation, and in
my opinion IL is by far the best machine
which has come under my observation.
1t does its work in the most perfect
manner, laying the wheat in compact
piles ready for the binder. The draft
is very light, and the machine can be
used to cut over very rough country.
passing over water-furrows without
difficulty, and cutting remarkably we'll
through tangled grass.
The machine is simple in its construc-
ton, and not liable to get out of order,
and would highly recommend it to any
one wishing to purchase good machine.
L much prefer it to any combined ma
chine ever saw.
