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 
IJSVERPOWER (1 or 6 horse) and four horses, it will thrash

Over 3,000 PAIRS of CHAMPIONS 
Sent to Farmers last month, and we have received numer¬ 
ous testimonials of their adaptability to the Farmers’ 
Wants. 
NO HARD SEAMS TO HURT THE FEET. No BOTHER WITH 
ROTTEN AND BROKEN SHOE-STRINGS. No HOT AND CUM¬ 
BERSOME BOOT LEG. 
Thousands of Farmers 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 tlic “ Champions.” 
(Patented May 29th, 1866.) 
New York, May 10, 1810. 
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 and bear¬ 
ings of a boot, witli 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 aDy otlicrslioe 
you can liny. We make no cheap, shoddy, or inferior 
“ Champions,” hut every pair is warranted to he good, 
honest, and serviceable ill every particular. 
For a Plow-Shoe they are excellent. For Boys’ 
Wear they are Superior. For the Harvest Field they 
ARE INVALUABLE, US THEY KEEP OUT ALL DIRT, STUBBLE, 
and thistle, and your feet are easy and well at 
night, not tired and sore. 
It would he 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 youb 
neighborhood.

Self-vakii i g Iteaper 
is the MOST POPULAR MACHINE of the kind now before 
the public; it lias more practical points that universally 
adapt it to the work of reaping grain than all others put 
together. It cuts 
ANY GRAIN THAT GROWS, 
whether high or low, tliin or thick, lodged or standing, in 
the MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER; it is easily han¬ 
dled hy an ordinary pair of horses, to cut from 15 to 20 acres 
between sunrise and sunset. It swaths, or lays the grain in 
gavels out of the way of returning team; is worked hy al¬ 
most any boy or ordinary field hand, or automatically, as 
you prefer. For further particulars send for Descriptive 
Pamphlets to the manufacturers,
