Last week there was published a
sta. ement which was calculated to be
very, oe,y damaging to the Low-Down
Binder, but from the certificates ap-
pended below. it will be observed that
the Low-Down is not only still in the
ring, but is just as handsome and efec-
tive as the most critical machinist
could wish. 1t is really too bad for
the Osborne folks that they "did not
know the thing was loaded" when they
deliberately put their foot on the ham,
mer and blew in the muzzle, but it
can't be helped now.
Here is what the farmers present
the exhibition say.
To THE FARMERS OF ADAIa CoUN-
TY-I believe it my duty az. a farmer
and friend to farmers interests to
say that the statements published last
week by Carothers & Greene, in re-
gard to he Osborne and against the
Low Down Buckeye are not correct.
The Osborne did not give me satisfac.
tion, as stated. 1t missed bundles
and draft was, in my judgement, about
third heavier than that of the Low
Down.
We tried the Buckeye Low Down
to day (Tuesday, July y. it did not
miss tying single bundle. We cut
some of the worst down and tangled
oats I every saw. We worked it In
timothy and wire grass without its
choking single time, while Osborne
in the same grass, choked down

To ALL WHOM IT MAY CoNcDRN -
This is to certify that / have this day
worked the Buckeye I.ow-Down on
the farm of MIR. VIM. w. McClay, on
the same field of grass in which the
Osborne was tried few day ago, and
/ unhesitatingly say that the Low
Down did splendid work, cutting and
binding to my entire satisfaction,
without any choking up. My team of
fz00 horses pulled the Low Down with
all ease, through heavy down and tan
gled grain. Iha,e seen elevator bin
ders work, but in my judgement the
Low Down is superior to them all and
is the machine which the farmers of
this county need. l worked the ma
chine In very badly tangled oats
which don't think any elevator bind
er could have cut and bound in sat.
isfactory manner.

1t was boasted last week through
the press by the Osborne folks that on
Mr.. McClay's farm the Osborne worked
like charm, and that'everybody' who
witnessed its work was satisfied of its
superior merits.
In addition to the above we append
statements from honorable, reliable
and responsible men which prove con-
clusively that the Osborne did not
work "like CHARM" and did not work
satisfactory to everybody.
Witness the following:
81 was present at the exhibition of
the Osborne binder on Mr.. Nc.
Clay's farm and will state that it not
only choked down but stalled the team.

Again:
was present at the exhibition OF
Osborne binder on the farm of Mr..
VIM. McClay and viii say that the
Osborne did not work satisfactory.
c. D. TAYLOR.
l, the undersigned. will state that
heard Mr.. McClay say that the Osborne
was not satisfactory to single person
at the exhibition except those directly
interest in the Osborne.
DANIEL CRAWFORD.
The above statements are statements
Of plain facts and can not be denied,
questioned or explained away, and
we very respectfully submit them to
the farmers of North Mo. for con
sideration.
