<=. We present, on this page, a cut representing the latest improvements in grain-cutting
machinery, as shown in the celebrated Marsh Harvester with Automatic Crane-Binder
Attachment.
The Marsh Harvester itself is too widely and favorably known to require an extended
description or commendation, It was the first of this‘class of grain-harvesting machines, and,
indeed, for some’ years the only one, forcing itself into favor against the united opposition of
the various reaper manufacturers who are now so clamorous in praise of their imitation har-
vesters. It also made practicable automatic grain"binding. All attempts to put self-binding
‘ attachments to other reapers proved futile,and have only been successful fvhen attached to
harvesters cutting and elevating the grain, as is done by this harvester.
The manufacturers of the Marsh Harvester have been fully alive to the importance of
‘having a self-binding attachment to their harvesters that should be correspondingly fora
binder what their harvester is admitted to be—the best of tts class. To thisend they have had
skilled labor specially employed for several years, and have invented and patented several
important improvements and devices, and have bought others. * They have also had_ their
‘ binders in the grain fields for several years past, following the progress of the harvest from
oy "Texas to Manitoba. Last season this binder did remarkable work. Such minor defects as ’
the most thorough tests and roughest usage developed have been carefully remedied.
It is no longer a question of success with this binder, success is a fully demonstrated fact, 3,
Another thing will be obvious to all who carefully examine this binder, that itis very simple
and easily understood, ‘This is an indispensible requisite to a successful machine.
: Farmers are to busy and too much hurried in harvest time to study mechanics or tinker on | °
machinery. They want a machine they can put in the field, and do good work, without bother,
.. The Marsh Harvester cuts a five-foot swath the King cuts six feet. “All of these harvest-
ers are so made this year that a binder attacliment can be put on at any time hereafter, so that .
a farmer, desiring to divide the expense;can buy the harvester this year and the binder next.
. Look atit! A few years ago it required six or seven: meh to do, with a self-rake reaper,
‘Pays what the Marsh Harvester and Binder will do with one inan.or one boy. The Harvester ‘also
» "does the work cleaner and better. It binds every straw, and saves enough in this way to
‘ . nearly or quite pay for the wire. The wire-bound bundles can be made as large or as small as’.
you like, The wire is unobjectionable in threshing, the wire passing through without injury
my to the thresher. No cattle will eat wire, and no one has ever been known to be injured by it.
It requires about three pounds of wire to.an-acre of grain.of average stand. This ma hine
reduces the cost and the labor of grain harvesting toaminimum. No progressive farmer can
wong. lord to do his work with an old-fashioned reaper, [ce might almost as well return to the
‘ 1ind sickle, ,
, It is now a question of the best binder. Thus far the manufacturers of the. Marsh Har-
" vester have furnished the best harvester, and now they offer the best binder, and still propose
to keep their machines in the lead, as-they have been, and are now. :
