OUR $175 ENGINE AND BOIIiER. 



A WORD OF PRAISE, WHERE IT IS WELL DESERVED. 



M WORD for those engines. The one I ordered 

 J^^ of you some time ago, a cut of which is shown 



' in your circular, works like a charm. It is 



called 3-horse power, but I can do more with it than 

 can be done with two horses. I can saw 20 cords of 

 wood in a day with it; and for grinding feed (for 

 which it is used mostly), I can grind 10 bushels per 

 hour, and it is a clipper to run bee-hive machinery. 

 The engraving is a little wrong; the governor is not 

 as shown. 



We arc having cold rainy weatther. Bees arc hav- 

 ing a slim chance; when it is warm enough for them 

 to fly, it is too windy. Chaff hives are the only safe 

 thing this spring. A. Osbun. 



Spring Bluff, Wis., May 21, 1883. 



Thank you, friend O. I remarked but a 

 few days ago, that it was a little singular 

 that not one breath of complaint had ever 

 been made of any one we had sold in the 

 years past. They have been improved some, 

 since the cut was made.
