The COLUMBIA is especially de-

lie heavy crop" regions of the North
west. A machine that will success
fully handle this grain las been a long
felt want. This machine is the sum
and substance Of years of careful study
and experiment by n of the best sep
arator experts in the world.
The requisites of a perfect grain
separator are: /. First. class and du-
liable material; 2. Symmetrical divis-
on OF the cooperating parts; 8. Work
nanlike and the scientific construct
on of the mechanism; 4. A proper
blast and speed; 5. Adaptability to all
Kinds of grain and seeds In all con di-
ions; 6. Simplicity.
In the construction of the 'CoLUM-
sIA" are combined all these essential
features to make il, what We claim for

our COLUMBIA" which is as far
ahead of any separator recently intro
iuced as was the vibrator 25 years ago
of the old and now discarded endless
apron machine. But how do we estab-
Iish our claim of superiority BY an
srray of facts too convincing TO be
~,ontradicted and by introduction of
testimony of threshermen, in good
standing, who have operated this style
Of machine. Not mere words but proof
Of our assertions is what you ask for
and are entitled to.
THE CYLINDER.-It is a l2-bar dou-
ole-stave cylinder made out of the best
grade of gunwale iron, scientifically
aid off and balanced. The spikes are
extra heavy, made from a special
grade and temper of steel. None are
genuine but what bear cur trademark,
Beware of limitations.
THE UPPER SHAKER.-It has an g.
inch throw and is provided with five
breaks. There isn't another machine
that has so many breaks or so great a
throw. Some have as many as three
breaks, the most have but two and a
few only one. Just imagine five losses
to the straw as it passes from the cyl.
lnder and over the upper shaker out of
the machine! Does it not strike you
quite forcibly that we have an enor-
nous advantage over our competitors
and that the farmer stands a much
better show of getting the grain out
Of his straw when threshed on our
COLUMBIA" than any other machines
But we have several more advantages
and novel features we must call your
attention to before we are through
with the upper shaker, the most ina
portant mechanism in any machine.
STROKE OF SHAKER.-The S inch
stroke Of the shaker spreads the straw
so thin that the grain has no opportu-
nifty to hide in it, but must drop on to
the grain pan. The incline of upper
shaker towards rear end is is inches;
the rise and drop is 3 inches. Thus
with 5 breaks and a dropping away
from the straw three inches at every
backward motion of shaker and the
retardlng of the outgoing straw on an
incline of Is inches, the function of
separating is complete and perfect.
THE INDEPENDENT BREAK. (Our
patent 1.-The last but not least and an
entire new feature, is the independent
and contra or opposite motion OF the
fifth or rear break of the upper shak-
er, which tends to tear apart the straw
at every stroke of shaker.
THE LOWER SHAKER.-The lower
shaker or grain pan is made of a high
grade of sheet steel and is wider than
the upper, thereby allowing the sheet
ing to pass between the two shakers
and thus preventing all litter.
THE SHoE.-The shoe is of ample
capacity, being four inches wider than
upper shaker. 1t is end shake.
THE FAN.-The fan is.an over blast
and our blast regulator, which can be
set so as to throw the wind on any
part of the sleeves, as the occasion and
condition of the grain may require, is
a feature that is invaluable.
TIE TRUCKs.-The truck wheels
are of the best pattern with six.inch
wrought iron tire and steel spokes.
The spokes have shoulders at both
ends SO as to prevent any loosening
or slipping through tire or hub which
is so common with an inferior metal
wheel. The pedestal on front bolster
allows the wheels TO pass under the
separator; no reach required.
THE IRON FRoNT.-The "CoLUM-
BIA" has one of the incest and best ar
ranged irou fronts you ever saw, alb
solutesy true and well put together.
THE DAGGER The Dagger is a daisy;
it's the threshermen's and farm
! er's friend. Who doesn't realize the
annoyance of an inferior Dagger? Ours
