To the farming public. or.any one

Others. by our competitors who in maxi
ing the reports do it false,y knowing
when they make the statements that
they are false and and made out Of
whole cloth. l make this statement
without fear of successful contradiction.
Nay, more.l invite and defy any man to
prove the tenth part of his statements.
The reports to which refer are these;
That the Deering Pony Binder was re-
turned last season because it was not
success and would or could not do the
work and did not work satisfacto riIy to
the purchaser. Now l wish to state
that | have under my controle filtv
agencies. This is my sixth year with
the Vim. Deering and Harvester
Company and during the six years
l have got settlement for every
machine, and there are many thousands
that have been sold and delivered in my
territory, But the purpose Of this com
muncation is more particularly wit h
