ever before placed in tie field during any
previous year. his year thew are manu-
featuring $4,000, and sill, with an lncrease
OF 10000 over their products of the year
/ before, they are unable to keep pace with
tue demand. T..is certainly speaks well
:. for tie popularity of the Champion. when
I It has 80 many worthy competitors in the
fl Id. As Il further item OF interest relating
to tie magnitude Of the business of this
company, We VIII state thai during the
year ending March %, twenty-eight ear
loads of these reaperS and mowers were
shipped tc the Pacific ccaSt,aul up TO April
II, slxty-two car IoaCs have been sh,u ell

IN the same direction have averaged two
carloads per day. The shipment. on the

(fortv-two cars) made mp exclusively for.
and loaded entirely with. ''Champion'' ma

year will not la; tar short of S6.I25 900,
very considerable portion Of which j.

Ii e II q ,ufacture of these machines was
commenced Ia $500, and therefore places
Messrs. Warder, Mitchell 4 Co. among the
pioneer manufac urers of the country; and
that they have avtied themselves and their
patrons OF the various valueable improve
mRUts that have bpap mazda roo, or, A
mowers during the past twenty-five years,
needs no further evidence than the present
popularity of their machines in all parts of
the world where reapers and mowers are
employed as "A medium for harvesting. l.
Is neither ou- province or object t. draw
any unfair comparison between the" Cham
pIon" and other harvesters ana mowers,
and get the faces warrant the statement
that THIS machine has been more successful
and has become Il greater favUrate among
farmers and practical men generally than
any other manufactured. This machine
has outliyed the day Of experiment, It's
merits are tried, roch-ronted, and approved
and It's wide spread popularity is backed
up by figures, that naked words are power
less to successfully contradict. AS an ex
ample, IN 1872, upward of 1900 were
manufactured and sold; in 1873, Is, 600; in
1874, $4,000, while tho present years pro.
ductIon viii exceed IS 900. Here we have
Il tlngiable Increase of over 200 per cent
during the past three years. Can the bus
mess of any other manuiactory of the kind
IN this country show a ike expansion
he details relating 10 the construction as
also to the general working OF the Cham
pIon, are 100 well known through this
country to require any comments from Us.
Suffice it to say, they comb inc all improve
ments that tend To render them durable,
economical and convenient. This, together
with the great care observed IN the mater
lal employed in their construction, is the
main secret of Their success. In conclusion,
we cannot refrain from indulging in single
wori of advice to farmers regarding tie
necessity of their ticking better Gaze OF their
reapers,as also OF other farming implements
during tie season when the services Of such
implements are not required. There is not
the least doubt but tlat fully 25 per cent
of the cost of farming machinery could be
saved TO farmers If they would be more
proyident IN this particular. = Chicag"
