Il has been my misfortune to spend
considerable amount of money in trying
to get Mower which was in all respects
satisfactory. After using several ma

came across tho Champion Haymaker,
was SO much pleased with its simplicity,
almost noiseless motion, easy drops, &c,

u. L. MooRE, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about the
Haymaker, | will refer briefly to my ex-
periencc with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Threshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece Of
machinery | have had on my farm. On
its introduction here was induced to
try one, notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious N o.ion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the ease with
which heavy aud even weedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, aud as Lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal, cut
ting as it does close under trees and
up to shrubs and plants. The expenses
so far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on hand. Ny man says he has one
fault with the Haymaker, il does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind his team.
