The greatest HARVESTING MA
CHINE in the world, is McCORMICK'S
Reaper and Self.Bindcr. 1t has taken the
first prize at every "World's Fair" from
London in 1851, to Paris in 1873, and it
Is acknowledged to he King of the Field.
Strong, simple, durable, cheap-pertect
IN construction and unrlvaled in its
work; it should have a place upon every
farm in Minnesota, for it has earned that
royal right.
MOVING
is searly as important in this section as
grain cutting, hence I call attention to
Nc Cormick's new IRON MOWER, the
very perfection Of grass-cutt'ng machines.
1t is all made of iron. The gearing is
enclosed in cast.iron box, SO that no
dirt can get into 1t. In construction it il
adapted to all kinds of ground, and to all
conditions of grass and weather. Farmers
will find it TO their advantage to give this
new machine careful trial, for it Is GER
tain to prove just the thing which they
need.
In connection with this subject II is
proper to call attention to
HAY RAKES.
It is probable that the best article of this
kind now IN use, is made by Laraway q
King Of Minneapolis. 1t has every i'm
provemcnt that has yet been discovered,
and it fully meets the expectations of all
! who use it,
THE TAYLOR RAKE is also mos;
excellent one, and is very popular
wherever its merits are fully known
| The teeth arc ca,t.stcel, tempered in oil.
E ch is Independent Of every other, and
| all are set so rs to adjust themselves to
the modified surface Of the toughest land
Either Of these Rakcs will give salisfac.
ton to the user.
THRESHlNG.
OF all con,rivanccs for Smelling wheat
and separating it from the straw and
chaff, the MINNESOTA CHIEF, made
at Saltwater, in this State, is unGoubt-
edIy the best now offered to the pub
lie, chiefly for the following reasons,
viz: 1t is an embodiment Of al! that is
valuable in o.hcr machines, while it has
none of their defects 1t 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. II
don't wear out. 1t is simplc-made spe.
cally 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 s. Merrill. 1t is
very fine machine and deserves an ex.
tcnsive employment. shall take great
pride in exhibiting it to my numerous
patrons.
Of,hc many varieties ofthls necessary
article, the one most nearly a universal
favorite is that of Lafferly & Co.,, ST.
Paul, and 1t is truly al admirable con-
trivancc for raising water. cannot here
enumerate its excellenc;es, but ask every.
body to call and see it, for I have no hes i.
tatlon in saying that it is by far the best
| wooden pump ever made. The price is
such az to Elace the article within reach
of every house-kecper, and want al to
know its good qualities. Be sure to ex
anime the Laffer,y Pump, whether you
buy one or not.
am Offering the
JACKSON (MICH) WAGON.
as one of The best now made. confident
that it will disappo,nt no one who may
give it a trial. 1t has stood the test fol
about twenty years, and itncver had more
friends than 1t has today.
OF SPRING WAGONS I have a variety
and am confident that I can supply any
demand that there may be for anything
| in this line.
l shall speak at length in tie 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.
1t is my purpose to deal in FARM
MACHINERY in this city-to make it
business-and want it to be understood
that every article bought of me will b
found Just as I describe it. "Squar
dealing" is my motto, and if can't pros
per by it, in the machinery trade, l wi
seek something in which can. Desirou
Of making the acquaintance of the peopl
I invite them all to come aud see me.
Very Respectfully,
AUSTIN, June Is. OSCAR AYERS.
