Minnesota's Great Threshing Machine
1.-The Chief"

readers to the magnificent success
achieved by Seymour. Sabln q Co.. %
Saltwater. Minnesota, in the manu-,
facture of the most successful anu
popular threshing machine manufac
tured in the United States.
Its success is no longer a matter OF
question. It is rapidly supersedlng
the machines made in Ohio, Wlscon-
sin. etc. It does the most perlect
kind of work, and it's workmanship IS
in every respect Of the first class

construction will favorably impress every
man who is at all familiar with machinery OF
this class. 1t has neither vibrator nor apron,
d;snenses with all the Objectionable features
Of other machines. To sum up the assertions
in Is behalf. it is the most perfect threshlng
machine. best grain cleaning, greatest grain
saving, lightest running, most durable, eco
nomical, and least expensive machine III the
market.
It is arranged with very few wearing parts,
and all those are so arranged that they move
in circles or parts of circles, causing less wear
than any other movement. Its parts are very
simple and easy of repair should they become
broken Having so little gearing and betting

It's makers assert that it will thresh ana clean
more grain than any other, and will do good
work no matter what the condition OF the
straw They confidently claim that it stands
without rival in threshlng flax ana timothy,
handling these seeds almost as rapidly as
grain, and with the serves lor tna' p4IPhHs Use

the most perfect and simple separating ar
rangement of any. The AgitatOr consists OF
q Slated table, hung upon eccentrlcs, Whlch
receives the straw, chaff and gram from the
cylinder, losses it up, and as it TAILS catches 1t
again, and repeating this some niteeh tli 1s
before the straw passes out at the tall OF the
machine, it thoroughly separates the gram
from the straw, letting it fall through the Slats
upon the grain table below.
Especial attention is called to the arrange
ment for controlling the wind as 1t passes
from the tanning mil. IN ti,e ar Pass sds
The object of the center board is to defect
certain norton of the wind and cause it to
strike II non the bottom of the shoe, thereby
acting as an under blast. The centre board
produces a new feature i'll threshlng ma

The fan being quite large throws broad,
strong, steady wind current, always sufficient
to carry off all chat, dust straw, yet so soft
that it permits all heavy articles like grain and
seeds to pass through the selves. The serves
being very wide and long, 40 by 4S inches,
gives it a greater capacity for cleaning than
any other machine.
Such is the capacity of the Chief tor hand
ling wet grain that often after heavy rains 1t
has been working whole day earlier than
any other machines in the neighborhood
The company have received reports from q
large number of Chiefs that have threshed
and cleaned three bushels of W heat per min
ute, and over one hundred bushels OF wheat
per hour.
The Chief has met with considerable sue
cess, giving universal satisfaction, ana the
company were unable to fill verr large pro-
them. That it actually performs all that Is
claimed for it, they have columns OF testlmo-
malls to prove from farmers who are using
the machine in this State, Wisconsin. Iowa
Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and far off Texas

you can find columns OF them i'll the circular:

The Minnesota Chief is fast building up I
national reputation, and promises to tax tn
energies of the manufacturers to fill the order
that are pouring in for next season, and W.
