THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



GBTAGOOD 



You have heard of the cow that gives a big pail of milk and then at the last 

 moment kicks over the bucket and spoils it all? 



What about the man who grows a good crop of grain and then half harvests it 



You wouldn't waste half your crop. 



Of course not. 



But why waste any of it? 



Why not get it aU? 



As the boys say, "Every little bit helps." 



Every little bit wasted, counts and counts against you and your profits. 



As a sensible farmer, you can't afford to approach 

 harvest time without making sure that you are ready for 

 it the very minute that your grain is ready. 



You can not afford to depend upon a harvesting ma- 

 chine that wastes even a small part of your grain. 



You can not afford to spend your money for a ' may- 

 be-so" harvesting machine one that may or may not do 

 your work for you in a satisfactory manner. 



You can not afford to start harvesting with a machine 

 that may break down at your busiest moment. 



You can not afford to start harvesting with a machine 

 that will half kill your horses before your grain is cut. 



You can not afford to start harvesting with a machine 

 that is likely to cause delay in your work. 



You can not afford to take chances. 



You want to be sure, and now is the time to make 

 sure.

They are right in principle and design, for they are the product of a half cen- 

 tury's inventive genius. Every improvement that the best mechanical experts of 

 the world have been able to discover or devise in fifty years is embodied. in their 

 construction. That's why they are so convenient to handle why they do their work 

 so well. That explains, too, why they are so easy on man and horse and why 

 they waste so little grain. 



They are right In materials, for their manufacturers by co-operation are able 

 to produce and select the best materials. By co-operation they are able to own, 

 control and operate their own lumber camps, their own iron mines, their own 

 coal mines, their own coke furnaces, their own steel mills, and other sources of 

 raw materials, thus being sure at all times to have materials for making their 

 machines of the highest quality. 



They are right in workmanship, because the demand for these standard machines 

 Is so great that immense factories are necessary for their production, and their 

 manufacturers are able to equip the factories with the best facilities and the most 

 expert workmen. 



They are right in reputation, for they have by their own merit survived years 

 of strenuous competition. They gained their popularity solely on their merits. 

 They retain their popularity in the same way. They are used all over the world 

 solely because they have met the demands and filled the requirements of grain 

 growers and grass growers.

 years of successful, satisfactory work than you know these machines to have?

 machine can have better materials than have these machines few manufacturers

 the whole world the successful standing of the test of years the ever increasing 

 popularity of these machines these things tell the story of how they are built 

 and how they work.

 make good harvesting and haying machines they are right. They will meet your 

 every requirement.

 harvesting?
