and only half enough at that.

This Machine is every way superior to anything of the kind 
ever introduced. It is made of the best material, is compact 
and handsomely finished, and does its work as well or better 
than the best of the large Thrashers. "With our new PLANET 
LEVER POWER (4 or 6 horse) and four horses, it will thrash 
from 100 to 200 bushels of wheat, and from 200 to 400 bushels 
of oats per day ; separating thoroughly, and delivering the 
grain lit for market and the straw in good condition. 
The Buckeye is easily bundled bv the ordinary force of a 
farm, and is afforded at a price within reach of any thriving 
farmer. Send for Descriptive Circular.

Wants. 
no hard seams to hurt the feet. no bother with 
rotten and broken shoe-strings. no hot ant* cum- 
bersome bootleg. 
_ Thousands of Fakmeks wear hot and heavy boots 
all through the summer and fall, because they can not get a 
shoe to keep out the dirt. They have it in the Champions." 
(Patented May 29th, 1866.) 
New York, May 10, 1870. 
We have examined carefully " Ballard's Champion 
Shoe," and, without practical use, should judge it to be a 
capital article. The peculiar cut gives it the set aud bear- 
ings of a boot, with the ease and lightness of a shoe: and the 
strap brings it as closely as desired around the ankle with- 
out the trouble of strings. Those which we have seen are of 
good stock and well made. ORANGE JUDD & CO. 
DON'T FORGET THIS! 
We warrant and guarantee the "Champion Shoe" to 
wear longer and give better satisfaction than any othershoe 
you can tray. We make no cheap, shoddy, or inferior 
" Champions," but every pah* is warranted to be good, 
honest, and serviceable in every particular. 
For a Plow-Shoe they are excellent. For Boys' 
Wear they are Superior. For the Harvest Field they 
are invaluable, as they keep out all dirt, stubble, 
and thistle, and your feet are easy and well at 
NIGnT, not tired and sore. 
It would be better for 10 or 12 to club together and send us 
Registered Letter or Money Order. It will be a saving in 
Express charges; and it is easier for us to send 12 pairs to 
one address than in single pairs. 
Induce your Shoe Dealers to keep a supply for your 
neighborhood.

the MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER ; it is easily han- 
dled by an ordinary pair of horses, to cut from 15 to 20 acres 
between sunrise and sunset. It swaths, or lays the grain in
