hould be ,-l iabor-saving implement

tions Of the q. we determined to not

year in order TO get %. t combination possible
to secure my object ! now have machi1e
which very few farmers adUrd to be without
It is light. durable and ,ly managed and is
offered at $50, and freig price which makes
it good investment for any farmer who cuts 50
tons Of hay year, and on large farms it will pay
for itself every year. Its use to me in my las
years haying was worth over 500, in cash, and
had been prepared to use it to its full capaci,
it would have easily earned me double that sum.
It saves nearly one-half of the manual labor OF
the bay field, solving the great problem of labor
supply for the hay harvest.
1t is attachable to a common farm wagon, takes
the hay from the winrow, and leads with ease
ton in ten minutes.
1t has been tested by great many enterprising
farmers of this county and Europe during the
past four years. its principles by them UNIVERSAL y
endorsed, and even in its then imperfect state
pronounced Indispensable by many of them.
1t has been exhibited at great many fairs
county, State and sectional, and almost without
exception has received some award.
Tho machine is warranted to do its work well
and is also warranted against breakages the frs
season if properly used.
| 1t is only by an early order that any person
can be sure of obtaining one for the coming sea
son, for our field of operation is large, and we d,
not expect We can supply tho demand.
