THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



NOW IS THE TIME GET A GOOD READY FOR 

 HARVEST. 



There is a dignity about the International Har-( 

 vester Company advertising we are running which is 

 befitting the subject. "Mother Nature has done her 

 part. The fields are ripe. Are you ready for the har- 

 vest?" That is the dignified way the great harvester 

 company introduces to our readers its excellent ma- 

 chines, Champion, Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, 

 Osborne and Piano, which aid in the harvesting of so 

 large a part of the grain and hay raised in America. 



Readiness for the harvest is all important. As the 

 grain and grass are ripe, so are the machines ready and 

 equal to the duty. Nobody questions the superiority 

 of the International mowers and reapers. They have 

 all been tried in .the field, all of them for many years. 

 They represent individually the best skill and material 

 and adoption to duty that the country has produced. 

 Many other machines have been invented, but most of 

 them have disappeared. These have survived a case 

 of "the survival of the fittest." It remains for the 

 farmer who has ploughed and sown and raised his crop 

 to provide himself from the machines at hand the par- 

 ticular ones which he needs to enable him to harvest his 

 crop quickly and surely and economically. 



No word of ours could add to the reputation of the 

 International Harvester machines. No word is needed. 

 It is enough to say that no mistake can possibly be 

 made by purchasing any one of the six machines named. 

 But the warning to get ready for the harvest is timely. 

 International agencies are established at every consid- 

 erable trading point to facilitate distribution and fur- 

 nish supplies and repairs. These agencies have cata- 

 logues and descriptive matter on the long line of har- 

 vesting machines the company builds in addition to the 

 mowers and binders. Farmers should call, procure the 

 catalogues, make a study of them and determine in due 

 time on the machines they will buy. Profitable farm- 

 ing demands improved machinery. Buy things that are 

 standard and do it in time to have all things ready for 

 the harvest.

THE NEW 

 DEERE 



A New Type of 



Hay Loader 



THE ONLY LOADER WITH FLOATED 

 GATHERING CYLINDER HAVING 

 FLEXIBLE FINGERS ^< ^< ^< ^ 



It's worth any farmer's time to investigate a hay loader that 

 gathers up all the hay, but leaves the bottom trash 



That will load anything from lightest swath to the heavi- 

 est windrow 



That will pick up large separate bunches of hay, or 

 separate sheaves of any crop, whether bound or unbound 



That works just as well on rough as on level ground, 

 and that handles hay in a soft persuasive way under all con- 

 ditions- 



Thai is at home in any field and can follow the mowing 

 machine in every kind of crop which can reasonably be called 



If there is any comparison between the "rake bar" type of 

 hay loader, and the New Deere Loader, it is a.11 In fa.vor of 

 tKe new Deere. 



Mechanically considered our two cylinder loader is ab- 

 solutely right in principle. 



Its gathering fingers are not "hook formed,", consequently 

 they pick up hay and nothing but h.y. 



Once started up the elevator, the strongest wind cannot dis- 

 lodge it, and as it nears the operator, it is gradually compressed 

 into a narrow stream, making it ea.sy to handle. 



The New Deere Loader is of durable construction, light of 

 weight, and draft altogether the best loader on the market. 



Catalogue and full information sent on request. 



Our goods are handled by reputable dealers throughout the 

 country. 



Your dealer will be glad to show you the new Deere Loader 

 and you can see for yourself that it has all the advantages we 

 claim for it.
