Is the most popular machine of the kind now before 
the public, it has more practical points that uni¬ 
versally adapt H to the work of reaping Grain than 
all others put together. It cuts any Grain that grows, 
whether high or low. thin or thick, lodged or stand¬ 
ing, In the most satisfactory manner. It is easily 
handled, by an ordinary pair of horses, to cut fr<nu 
15 to 20 acres between sunrise and sunst t.; it swaths 
or leaves the grain la gavels out of the way ol re¬

The moKt efficient and perfect mode 
of separation ever applied to a threshing ma¬ 
chine, combining ample threshing capacity 
with a perfect saving of the grain. No possi¬ 
bility of “clogging,” “choking" cr “wind¬ 
ing up.” Adapted to all kinds and conditions 
of grain. Capable of separating perfectly all 
that can be crowded through a cylinder, and 
SAVING ENOUGH MORE GRAIN ON EVERY 
JOB, over the best of other kinds, to more than 
pay the threshing bills. * 
CLEANING THE GRAIN SO PERFECTLY, that Mil¬ 
lers and Grain Dealers frequently PAY AN EXTRA 
PRICE for it. Makes NO LITTERINGS or SCATTER
