EVERYBODY Is REQUESTED TO CALL.


The greatest HARVESTING Ma
CHINE in the world, is MCCORM1CK'S
Reaper and SelfBinder. 1t has taken the
first prize at every "World's Fair" from
London in 1861, to Paris in 1878, and it
IS acknowledged to be King of the Field.
Strong, simple, durable, cheap-perfect
IN construction and unrlvaled in its
work; it should have place upon every
farm in Minnesota, for it has earned that
royal right
MOVING
is Aearly as important in this section as
grain cutting, hence l call attention TO
McCormick's new IRON MOWER, the
very perfection of grass-cuttlng machines.
1t is all made of iron. The gearing is
enclosed in a cast-iron box, SO that no
dirt can get into 1t. In construction it is
adapted TO all kinds OF ground, and to all
conditions of grass and weather. Farmers
will find it 10 their advantage to give this
new machine a careful trial, for it is GER
tain to prove just the thing which they
need
In connection with this subject II is
proper TO COLL attention to
HAY RAKES.
It is probable that the best article Of this
kind now IN use, is made by Laraway &
King of Minneapolis. 1t has every i'm.
provement that has yet been discovered,
and it fully meets the expectations of all
who use it.
THE TAYLOR RAKE is also most
excellent one, and is very popular
wherever its merits are fully known.
The teeth are cast-steel, tempered in oil.
Each is independent of every other, and
all are set so as to adjust themselves to
the modified surface of the toughest land.
Either of these Rakcs will give satisfac.
ton to the user.
THRESHlNG.
Of all con,rivances for Smelling wheat
and separating it from the straw and
chatf, the MINNESOTA CHIEF, made
at Saltwater, in this State, is unGoubt-
edly the best now offered to the pub.
lie, chiefly for the following reasons,
viz: 1t is an embodiment of al! that is
valuable in other machines, while it has
none of their defects. It is the result OF
experiment and experience, and IS as
nearly perfection as it is possible at pres
ent to make any machine for this purpose
1t threshes clean, separates perfectly, and
runs easily. 1t don't break down. 1t
don't wear out. 1t is simple-made spe-
cially for the farmers Of Minnesota
hence it does not require skilled me-
chanic to operate it. Severe trials have
esta blished its reputation beyond dispute,
and it is not eQualed by any other thresh-
er in the world; therefore don't neglect to
examine the Minnesota Chief:
The next best thing in this line is the
CLIPPER THRESHER, made at La
Crosse. Wis, by Smith & Merrill. 1t is
very fine machine and deserves an ex.
tensive employment. l shall take great
pride in exhibiting it to my numerous
patrons.
" PUMPS.
OF the many varieties ofthls necessary
article, the one most nearly universal
favorite is that of Lafferty & Co., St.
Paul, and it is truly an admirable con-
trivance for raising water. cannot here
enumerate its excellenc;es, but ask every
body to call and see it, for have no hest
tation in saying that it is by far the best
wooden pump ever made. The price is
such as to place the article within reach
of every house-keepcr, and want all to
know its good qualities. Be sure to ex-
anime the Laferty Pump, whether you
buy one or not.
am Offering the
JACKSON (MICH) WAGON,
as one of the best now made, confident
that it will disappolnt no one who may
rive it trial. 1t has stood the test for
about twenty years, and it never had more
friends than it has today.
OF SPRING WAGONS have a variety,
and am confident that can supply any
demand that there may be for anything
in this line.
shall speak at length in the proper
season of PLOWS, HARROWS, BOB
SLEIGHS, CUTTERS, etc., merely quot
ing them at present that the public may
know where such things are kept.
It is my purpose to deal in FARM
MACHINERY in this city-to make it q
business-and want it to be understood
that every article bought of me will be
found just as l describe it. "Square
