Than q native Parliament with a federal Union be-

The Advance at Work F!
early Reports from the
Harvest Field!


Owing to the dry weather, the straw
will generally be very short this season,
which presents serious difficulty in the
way of some wel>known machines, and
in some cases will forbid their use err
tirely
Or the Wood, and most other machines,
the short grain when cutwill not reach
within the grasp of the rake, and con-
sequently, will be jolted forward be-
tween the fingers and shaken off in
front Already this very great dlIi>
Guilty is felt in the early harvest, as
will be seen in letter below from Pleas
ant Hid, Missouri
Examine how admirably the Advance
is fitted for such an emergency After
setting it on awcut, examine how the rake
of the Advance sweeps into the standing
grain, bringing it sp to the cutters, and
holding on to it, until it is deposited in a
sheaf at the side.
We can warrant in this year Of short
straw, that on Ve-g many farms our Adj
vancewil save almost its price inamount
of grain saved, that would have gone
back mte the ground again by the use of
other reapers.
Farmers ,are invited to read the fol-
loving evidences in proof of the perfect
success ottbe Advance, John Strachan' $
falsehocds can have little weight against
the certificates Of your honest, truthful
brother favuers, who are not interested
in the matter by considerations Of dollars
and cents, and whose judgement of farm
machinery is worth more than the rep
reservations of score of such unprin-
ciplcd spectators as Strachan 1t will

he blows the hardest-thc Woods, KRIS

We have now running about twenty five
of the Advances, and all ar. working well.
Yesterday We putup two on adjoining farms,
owned 10y Franklin and Thomas Cayce,
where the wheat was very heavy and badly
lodged. Each had bought Climax, which
choked and proved failure in such gras.
The Advance even exceeded our expecta.
tions, cutting perfectly in the heaviest
grant and saving all the tangled wheat
We set bundles in front, for further test
they were cut and swept back by the rake.
We then ran upon uneven corn land, and
very rough washed places, cutting sticks,
sprouts, &c. We gave the rake and blade
the severest test, 10y running into a fallen
corn shock. but we cut through without ae-
cident. The Messrs Cayco are good prac-
teal farmers, and bent on having the best
reaper. They took them On trial and we
left them more than pleased, declaring the
Advance to be the machine they had been
hunting for,
Last week. With the Prize Mower, We
met the Wood, the Kirby the Climax aud
