No. 1 Hand-Power Grain and Seed Cleaner 
All machines are complete for work required. No extra attachments necessary. 
Size of screens, 1!) x 30 inches. Three wire and nine perforated zinc screens equipped 
with spreading boards furnished with each cleaner. Shipping weight, 150 lbs. 
Tlais cleaner is adapted for cleaning all cla.sses of grain or seeds, such as wheat, 
corn, oats, barley, rye, beans, peas, buckwheat, kaffir corn, cane seed, millet, clover, 
alfalfa, timothy, mustard, flax, etc., etc., and is suitable for farm or general use. 
Unlike other mills, the " Clipper " cleans all classes of seed and grain thoroughly in 
one operation, without any waste, and leaves no tailings to be rehandled. Effectual 
separation of plantain from clover seed is accomplished, removing all imperfect and 
foreign seed, as well as cleaning the perfect .seed. It will also separate cockle from 
wheat, pepper grass or tongue grass from timothy, kale and mustard from flax, and 
make any other separation that, from its nature, is not impossible. 
It is a well known fact that there is no work done on the farm that brings such 
large returns as thoroughly preparing the grain and seed by re-cleaning before sowing. 
This insures an even stand of strong, health}- plants, insuring a larger j-ield of a higher 
grade. This is the method that has been followed for j-ears by the leading growers of 
fancy seed wheat and other seed .stock. The " Clipper " Cleaner is especially adapted 
to this kind of work on account of its ability to separate the small, also the light, dead 
seed or grain from the perfect seed or grain. 
The " Clipper " will take chess and cockle out of wheat, and remove dead beans 
and "splits" from the prime stock. Manufacturers of other mills depend entirely 
upon screens for this work, but the "Clipper" gets all the benefit to be derived 
from a complete set of perforated zinc screens, and our " Vertical Air Blast " does the 
rest. The screens in our mill are .so arranged as to be in plain view and within eas}' 
reach of the operator without stopping the machine. 
Anj'one desiring a mill that is first-class in every respect will find it in the 
"Clipper." The No. 1 is the best all-round farm mill made, 
without any exception. Try it and you will use no other. Price, 
freight paid to a.ny part of U. S. East of Mississippi River,

Gentlemen : — My experience in buying seeds leads me to state that no farmer can afford to be 
without your " Clipper " Cleaner, or one just as good, if there is any such to be had. Not men- 
tioning weed seeds frequently bought at fancy prices, the farmer should understand that " like as 
two peas " is as much a delusion as to expect one cow to be as good as another. There are more 
scrubs in the average bag of seed than there are four-legged scrubs in the average barn yard. The 
question of profit and loss depends most generally upon the proportion of scrubs. The mission of 
the "Cupper" Cleaner is to eliminate scrubs from the grain fields, and I know of no machine which 
does it more rapidly or more effectively. Very respectfully yours, LEO. M. Geismar, Supt.
