McCORMICK BINDER TWINE 



It IS uriicr>ii><^'ii that good liiinlrr twine is essential to 



sticccssiul binding. The hanest season lasts only a few days 

 and delays nearly always result in more or less loss. Binder 

 twine that kinks and breaks is not worth hauling home, because 

 it is not only a soursc of annoy.Tnce while harvesting the grain, 

 but it also delays the wt - k When bound with in- 



ferior tw r.t . y are pitched to 



the wagon and stack, and with such bundles it is almost im- 

 possible to build a stack that will shed water. Uniform size and 

 srengUi are the characteristic features of the McCormick binder 

 twine. It will not kink and clog the knotter or pull thin and 

 break. The different brands of McCormick twine are Sisal, 

 Standard. Manila, and Pure Manila.

INTERNATIONAL SIDE 

 HAY RAKE 



DELIVERY 



This is an all-metal rake, except the tongue. The frame is 

 made of high-quality <'eel, and is very substantial. The crank 

 shaft carries four forks, and rotates in three bearings. Ihe 

 propelling power is tranfmitted from near the right front wheel 

 to the center of the crank shaft by means of an efficient cha n 

 drive. Each fork is equipped with six tines, which, under ordi- 

 nary conditions, are practically unbreakable. This rake will 

 handle any growth of hay in any condition. It will not rope 

 wet hay, but rather givts it a motion which facilitates drying. 

 It will handle dry hay without knocking off the heads and 

 leaves which cor.s.itute a valualle part of the crop. It leaves a 

 light, fluffy windrow, which is easily taken up by the loader 

 or put into cocks for curir.g.

The New Keystone Swath and Windrow Hay Loader is 

 doubly valuatle to the hay grower, because it will gather hay 

 from the swath as clean as any rake, and deliver it to the wagon, 

 without any threshing or beating. The driving mechanism of the 

 New Keystone is very simple and efficient, there being no com- 

 plicated gears to get out of order and cause troublesome delays. 

 The elevator is driven by large sprockets directly attached to 

 the main axle, which takes 'ts power from the main wheels. The 

 gathering drum is mounted on a substantial frame, which is
