The II 



The LIGHTEST DRAFT HARVESTER 



MITCHELL 



The "MITCHELL," Harvester has proved 



itself to be lighter in draft than any 

 competing machine, as the following test shows. 

 This test was arranged by farmers, so that each 

 could judge of the merits of the various machines.

HORSE POWER. — The average number of units will be found to be 309 per 

 machine, and as four horses were used in the majority of cases, a horse-power is equal to 

 one-fourth of 309 — that is, 77 units. The machines were tested in the crop. 



The "MITCHELL" Harvester, therefore, works out at 3i horse-power, and 

 is from \ to | horse-power lighter than any other machine. 



Eight different makers competed at this trial. Some had two or three machines, bul 

 only one of each make was tested for draft, and naturally each maker picked out his best. 



Only one "MITCHELL" Machine was used.
