GB' Read the following extract from an ac-
count of Hemp Cutting, taken from the Lex
ington (Ky.) Gazette Every practical farmer
is aware that machine which has sufficient
power to cut hemp, cannot fail to act with
perfect success in cutting any other crops
The Gazette says:
Those familiar with hemp-growing can fully
appreciate the qualities necessary and the great
inn HriN- tn tba ly,1tFa
required in Il reaper and mower, to cut grain
and grass, in order to force the kuiie through
the thick-growth, tough, hard sta ks Of hemp.
This is one OF the secrets of the great and rap
idly-increasing popularity ofthc Champion Reap
ers and Mowers for grain and grass harvesting.
1t not only has the power 10 cut the heaviest
and worst-conditioned grain and grass without
choking or strain to the machine, but has the re-
servc power to reap hemp successfully.
At this day no enterprising or successful farm
er is disposed nor afford to buy any but the
very best and latest improved agricultural imple-
ments. Reapng and moving machines are The
most expensive implements required on the FARM
tits, therefore, important so large an amount of
money should be invested only in the best ma
chine. The Champion Reaper and Mower is the
only machine now made that has power to cut
hemp. This fact coupled with other establish
ed points of excellence, should lead every farm
er to turn a deaf ear to the plausible statements
Of parties interested in other machines until he
has for himself seen and carefully examined the
Champion.
THE CHAMPION MACHINE AS A HEMP CUTTER -
AS hemp-cutter, it has proved itself unequalled
by any machine ever offered to the farmers Of
Kentucky. We spoke, in recent issue of the
Gazette, OF what Mr.. Alexander H. Brand did
with the Champion, cutting fifty-fve acres in
eight days. and at an expense of not more than
hali-a-dollar per acre-since which time it has
been used by others with even more satisfaction
Mr.. Elijah Bryan, under very favorable crcum-
stances, last week cut three acres and fraction
less than half in three hours, indicating that the
machine can cut at least twelve acres per day.
Not more than two hands are req aired to oper-
ate the machine at its highest cutting capacity
nor is the labor so severe as men usually perform
in harvest field. The machine is built of the
best material, carefully selected by the mannfac-
turers, and is fully guaranteed in all its parts to
stand any amount of ordinary usage and wear
The machine combines 4 first-class reaper, now
er AMI hemp-cutter, all in one, and, for the
amount Of work it il capable of doing, has no ri
val worthy the name that we are aware Of The
best testimony to the value Of the Champion is
a reference TO those who have used it in any ca.
pacity, and we have conversed with a number
who have cut their entire crop of hemp with it
this season, and they are charmed with its per-
Torrance, and the great saving it has wrought
G These machines may be seen in Bel
Air during Court, or at Aberdeen or Perry
