SPECIAL TwS TION.
The Heuser Exhibit.

No invention of the present century has
proved greater boon to the farmer than
the modern "Houser Harvester" These
machines, which are now exhibition at the
Pavilion, were manufactured by the Stock
ton Combined Harvester and Agricultural
Works, at Stockton, Cal, Competent
judges claim that they are unexcelled and
without rival. The special attention of
farmers is invited to what is known as the
small twelve and fouIteer-cut Houser.
This machine is particularly adapted for
the use of that class of farmers who do
not count their broad ACRES of grain by the
thousands or their horses by the hundreds.
The one on exhibition possesses all the
merits of the large Houser,' besides the
additional advantage which all wheat grow
ers will recognize at once-that is practical
economy. With this machine small
farmer can make grain growing profitable.
He can cut, thrash and sack his grain ready
for market at less expense than il formerly
cost for stacking.
Farmers who use the "Houser" have re-
duced the expense of harvesting to less
than dollar per acre, besides the saving of
three bushels to the acre. Another note
worthy feature in the construction of the
which the header adjusts itself so as to do
as satisfactory work on uneven ground as
upon level. The question is often asked
by farmers is ii practicable to turn square
corner with a combined thrasher-With the
Houser we say yes. The main drive wheel
TO which all the machinery is attached
forms a fixed pivot, thus enabling the
operator to perform the task without any
difficulty whatever. In connection with
this display is shown the Curved Standard
Gang Plow, with reversible mold or slip
share bottoms. The advantage claimed for
this plow is that it embodies all the practi-
cal points to insure the best of work. The
beveled curve, an invention which pre-.
vents its clogging, and which enables the
plow to throw off weeds, straw or other
matter, makes it the best manufactured.
The Miller lightning Hay Press also
forms part of this exhibit. This press
has a baling capacity of thirty tons of hay
per day. 1t does its work in better shape
with less labor and more rapidly than
any other hay press ever made. All
the parts are strong, durable and
of the best material. No tramping of
hay is required. The forking from the
stack is all done by the team working the
press. 1t req1ires no changing of position
when in operation, no matter how large

called to the Star double shoe cleaner,
which is attached TO the ''Housern har-
vester. 1t is claimed by those competent
to judge that the Star cleaner is the most
successful harvest cleaner manufactured.
AS a separator Of barley, oats and other
light substances from wheat while being
thrashed it stands at the head of all, with
out an equal. 1t is butt with sufficient ca
pacity for any other make of machine and
is readily adjusted. The last to be noticed
in connection with this exhibit Of agricult-
ursl implements is the Angle sieve grain
cleaner, which is said to be the champion
wheat cleaner of the world, and the only
cleaner which viii separate barley, oats,
cheat, weeds and sticks from wheat with
once putting through, leaving clean seed
and no second grade.
Farmers will do well TO visit this exhibit

tions and all necessary information
