The larger the profits machinery ol any sort 
puts Into the pockets of the owner, the more de¬ 
sirable Is its possession. On this principle the J. 
C. Chase Thrashing Machine Co., of Racine, Wls., 
should find no difficulty tn disposing of all the 
machines they could make, among thrashermen. 
Their Apron Eclipse and vibrator Thrashers have 
earned an enviable reputation wherever they have 
been uaed-and in what part or the Great West have 
they not? Excellent workmanship and materials 
and great efficiency are the characteristics of all 
the work they turn out, whether thrashers or 
portable and traction engines, etc.

It utter--' There has been quite a sweeping reduc¬ 
tion In prices for new during the week and the mar¬ 
ket Is likely to lie flexible and tn buyers favor, while 
new while la the dependence. Creamery has not 
much precedence over tubs or dairy stock. Old but¬ 
ter Is no longer u. quotable Item: tne remrants are 
held for special shipment. New arrives freely but 
in very small lot*, ami to mska up a fair tnsed line 
of pretiy even qualify buyers have to tiample a 
great many parcels. This leuturo slone tents to diB- 
urrAagn prices, as It would be hard to make dupli¬ 
cate rates rnlc In too many small transactions.
