the MINNEAPOLIS HARVESTER AND
TWlNE.BiNDER.
Anew Of Ne Good Features.

Farmers have no more use for the
wire binder. Their days are number
ed. II Is the Irvine Binder which is
the "crOwning glory" The manufac-
turers Of the Minneapolis Harvester
aud Irvine Binder have the exclusive
right Of all Of Appleby's old and new
inventions and improvements. APP
pleby Is now in the employ Of the
Minneapolis Harvester works. This
machine went through those great
northern wheat fields last year, and
was triumphantly successful every
where. 1t was often put In the same
field with leading wire-binders and
could cut full swath (6A feet) in the
worst grain where others could not cut
over half a swath without clOgging.
Here are some Of the superiOrities we
claim for the machine:
SELr-SIzING-This Binder il in all
respects self-Operating, sizing its own
bundles and making perfect separa-
ton, whatever the condition Of the
grain.
UNIrORMITY-Ever bundle Is Of
uniform size, being thoroughly com
pressed by compressor arms, admitting
a, certain quantity of grain this Is u
great saving In Irvine, and aids very
materially in stacking. The Packer
Arms are longer than on other similar
binders, giving the machine One-third
greater capacity that Is. the binder
will do good work in grain third
heavier than other binders.
ISTATIoNARY-The Binder Is not
shifted forward and backward for diff
ferent lengths of straw, rs Is done on
other machines, thus throwing extra
weight on the necks of the horses, or
fitting the tongue far upward. The
grain Is guided to its proper place by a
small apron near the front of Binder
deck, i'm plain sight of the driver and
wholly under his control. BY one
movement of . very light lever. he
can shin the butts to any desired posi-
ton.
:BINDINa MATERIAL-Last season
we experimental with various kinds
divine, and found that MANILA Irvine
running about $50 feet to the pound.
veil and evenly made. Is the best and
cheapest for our Binder. OF this II
will take from one to one and one
half pounds to the acre, according to
drop. the average being one and one
quarter pounds.
RAISING AND LowERING-The de-
vice for raising and lowering the
machine IL convenient and practicable
The driver IL not obliged to leave his
place and go round to both ends Of the
machine, a. with other harvesters.
Without leaving his seat, he can, with
lever, raise and lower both ends Of
the harvester 1t one time, anywhere
within range Of twenty-five inches.
No SWAY BAR-The sickle Is driven
from the end, instead Of the center.
dispensing with the many objections
10 the sway bar movement. There Is
no resistance to the grain while being
conveyed to the elevator, and no open
ings through which grass and weeds
can work In between the canvasses.
THE REEI-The reel h operated
with one lever, and can be adjusted to
ANY desired position, forward or back
ward, up or down. It can be brought
directly over and close to the sickle.
enabling the machine to elevate short
grain In good condition.
