Minnesota:
Gents Enclosed Won will find testimonials
from different parties in this section who
have assisted in running or witnessed the OPP
Grafton OF one of the two Minnesota Chief
Threshing MachiAes and Star of the North
Powers which are now successfully threshlng
gram III this county. These testimonials go
to show, conclusively, that the Minnesota
Chief is the boss machiuei
he crops here are immense; the straw il
heavy, and, owing to the almost continuous
rains we have had since harvest, the gram is
wet, in bad condition, and shells out tough
easily and gives the utmost satisfaction. 1t is
great pity you have not more machines
here, for they would sell rapidly. Their sim
plcity and the ease and thoroughness with
which they do their work excites general ad-
miration and praise. Yours, truly,
H. A. FIELD.

DEAR SIR We, the undersigned citizens
of Harvey county, Kansas, being acquainted
with the working OF the Minnesota Chief
rhresher, from Minnesota, which has been
threshing in this locality the present season,
cordially recommend it TO the farmers of Kan
and other States as being tirst-class sep
arator in every respect, and as possessed OF
many veryyaluable improvements of which
other machines cannot boast. We considerit
an indispensable part OF the outfit for the sue
ceSStul securing of the great wheat crop OF
this region, and hail with great JOY and salts
faction It's introduction among us: Simple,
because there are less parts and gearing than
to any other separator; 1t cleans the grain in
all conditions thoroughly, as we are con-
WINGED by actual observation; Economical, it
saving all the grain heretofore wasted by 9TH
er machines, and will do larger days work
than any thresher yet introduced in this
neighborhood. 1t is durable, doing away
with large per cent. OF wear and tear which
other machines have to contend with All
these points in its favor, coupled with light
draft, we consider makes it a very desirable
threshing machine.
The improved horse Star of the North
Power is tar superior to any other in light
ness or draft.

Gentlemen = As | have worked two days
with your Minnesota Chief, can testify as to
its merits:
As a separator it has no equal in our see
ton; it il the lightest running machine that
have worked about; it saves all the grain
completely. In simplicity il is alone, tor
there is 80 complication about 1t. There is
half less pats in its construction than
any other separator made and its work is
complete in all kinds and conditions of grain.
It's capacity is very great. have had several
years experience with several different kinds
of threshers and find that the Minnesota
Chief excels everything | have seen in shape
of q thrcsher. Yours truly,

years of practical experience a thresher,
takes pleasure in saying that he helped thresh
Mr. B0yd's grain yesterday with Minnesota
Chief Separator, and that III his opinion, il
ar excels any other Separator in simplicity,
lightness of draft, saving grain, and rapidly
OF threshing. | cheerfully recommend it to
my fellow farmers, feeling sure it will give
universal satisfaction.
The Star OF the North Power runs very
easily smoothly and steadily. | consider It
the best power 1 ever saw.
