EACTs FOR FARMERS.
Since 1853. One Hundred Thirty-six Thousand
and six Hundred of Walter A. Wooos haIVesS
tipg Machines have been manufactured ana soiu.
At least one hundred and ten thousand were IN
use during the past harvest season. ana III hu.
land County alone there were In good running Or
Ger, during the having season OF IoIl' - o.
Seventy-fve Wood Mowers, that were from Ten
to twelve wears old. During the last twelve years
a score of different Mowers have been brought De,
fore the public, tEt found wanting, cenoenlheo
and thrown under the fence.
In 1868, the Whitehall Chronicle, in speaking
of Moving Machines, said Every year witness
es the death of Mowers constructed on wrong me-
chaniral principles, and every year new Mowers
como before the public destined 70 the same In
glorious end"
Moving Machines that were for time sharp
councillors of the Wood Mower, but to-day,
where are they 7 Thrown aside, or sold for oio
iron and no more of the same kind are b-lng
| manufactured. If there should be few OF those
machines still in existence, the much neeoeo e4
| ira parts for renairs cannot be obtained-hence
| they are worthless ia their orners
| think the observation and experien e OF farm
ers will uphold me in the above statement. All
| this entails a lose on the farming communlty,and
any one can perceive it would be cheaper 70 pur-
chase only STANDARD Mowers.
Nearly every agent for these new Mowers re-
commend their own machines by decry1pg nrst-
cla-s standard mowers. And the WOOD mover
seems TO come in for fuu IN ere OF suen aoIe
Reasoning according to tire old adags, that ''The
most clubs are found under the best tree In the
orchard =" the Wool is entitled to something more
than passing notice.
Asa RUE. all new mowers are recommended q.
being of lighter draft than any OF the standard
machines They are great Improvement anC
must take the place of all other machines nov III
use of course they NUT because they are istel
I'M prove ments, and possess some very novel Ia
lures. Even if the novel features are obtained
the sacrifice of some practical feature, It is cla
ed TO be an Improvement. One agent says
"Why. the man that invented my mover, wa
the same man that invented the Wood Mower
and sold him the patent Another one, In nj
zeal saws :-"Walter A. Wood has offered seven
tv-hye thousand dollars for the patent on m!
mo YER" These stores are hardly worth at'en
ton, but are mentioned to show the ways resort
/ ed to by agents to force inferior article upor
farmers.
Asa rule the inventor OF the Wood Move
never adopts any imp movement 81 ppIy because
is novel His aim is to produce as simple ant
| practical Mower as possible. At the mauufae
tory, large numb of proposed Improvement
are tested. but where one is adopted, score
are rejected, and, in many cases, the neVel Al
tachment OF some new Mower, that Is trumpece'
abroad by their agents it is afterwards learned
has been tested at the Wood mandatory an
rejected 4,
If sny manufacturing establishment IN tn
world has the facilities for making good WORK
has the mechanical and inventive talent 10
bringing out improve nents-the experience
enable them to judge of the practicabllity OF sue
improvement-Ca point 10 unprecedented sSie
as an evidence OF success-can say TO ther pa
rons we have always furnished extra parts re
our machines, even for those first male, ana ca
