VICTORY OVER THE MARSH AT THE FARM OF
MIR. JOSEPH LUCKEY, JERsEYvlLLE,
ILL.,, JUNE Doth.
N. Elmer, state agent for the Marsh
Harvester, in Illinois. challenged the Ell.
ward to this trial, Mr.. Elmer running
the Marsh himself in the field.
REroRr.-Both machines did good
work, but the farmers gave their decision
in favor Of the Edward, for the following
reasons: cit is the easiest machine to
bind on; the simplest in construction
it is more strongly built, consequently
more durable; the Edward running its
| elevator with chains is impossible to
choke. while the Marsh running its eleva.
tor with rubber belt is liable in damp
weather to choking in the throat. The
Edward carries the grain on close canvas
carriers, covering all the bearings, conse'
qucntly obviates the possibility of straw
wrapping round the journals, and also
carrying the shattered wheat and loose
heads, depositing them in the binders
box arranged for that purpose. The Ell
| ward is the most desirable.

HASTINGS, Iowa, July End, 1875.
The Edward elevates better, cuts clean
| er, and does better work than the Marsh
AMI If any farmer wants to go througi
harvest with ''bird singing in his heart
all he has to do is to get an Edward.

At Four Mile Prairie, Perry Co., Ill.
June %, 1875, our agent says:
Mccormick. Mr.. Easter and Mr.. Marsl
both being present, the Edward proved tt
be the lightest draft by the dynamomcte1
of any machine on the ground. The
opinion was generally expressed by the
farmers present that the Edward" was
the Harvester for this year, with so mucf
heavy lodged grain. No committee wa.
appointed, nor vote taken by those pres
ent.
The harvest is an unusually hard one
ard while other machines are being re-
turned, not an Edward has yet failed te
give satisfaction, and farmers who have be-
come heartily sickened trying to harvest
their grain with an inferior machine, arc
buying the Edward at regular prices and
terms.
Manufacturers and agents Of the sick
machines are willing to almost give them
away to get them off their hands.
