CHIEF 
BEST THRESHER ON WHEELS 
Is not n Vibrator nor an Apron Machine. 
Is wonderfully simple and admirably perfect in its 
threshing and separating- qualities. Saves all 
the grain, and cleans it ready for market. 
Buns easily, is constructed durably, is finished 
beautifully, is the most economical, least expen¬ 
sive, and most satisfactory machine in the 
market. Will handle wet grain as well as dry. 
Has no equal in threshing flax and timothy, thresh¬ 
ing and cleaning both as well and nearly as rapidly 
as wheat, and requires no change except the sieves. 
Has more square feet of separating and cleaning sur¬ 
face than anu other machine made, and can not be 
overloaded. Is both over- and under-blast. Our 
CLOVER HULLING ATTACHMENT is 
new and very desirable , does the work rapidly and well,

HOG RINGING A FAILURE. 
Our Tendon Cutter a Success. 
ANIMAL CONQUEROR 
The above Cut represents our Tendou Cutter, and Animal Conqueror or Holder. 
By the use of the cutter wc take from the Hog its power to root, by removing a section or piece of the tendon or 
muscle which operates the shovel at the end of the nose. This instrument passes through the skin and under the tendon ; 
when the operation is performed it is withdrawn, bringing out witli it the piece of tendon. It does not cut out a particle 
of the skin or flesh, therefore the wound heals quickly. It leaves the Hog as powerless to root as you would be to use your 
finger when a portion of the tendon or leader was taken from it. While performing the operation, the Hog must be held 
perfectly steady, and for that reason, you will want our holder which excels anything in that line ever invented. 
All new inventions are looked upon with suspicion, but we are confident that when you see these Ustruments used, 
you will be loud in their praise, and will never use another ring or mutilate a hog by using a nose cutter or snooter. Any 
number of testimonials, like the following letter, furnished on application. 
Messrs. Ewing & Co., of Decatur, Ill., were out at my farm at Casncr Station, Macon Co., Ill., on March 7th, and 
operated on some hogs with their Anti-Rooter, to the entire satisfaction of myself and others present at the time, as it 
lias proven up to this date. The hogs have not rooted a particle since the operation, and are doing well. I have used 
rings as often as twice a month on the same hogs, aud then they would root. The Conqueror and Anti-Rooter, both are a 
success without a doubt.—L. B. CASNER. (Copy.) 
If not found on sale in your locality, will send sample Cutter and Holder on receipt of $3.00.
