Ws shall be pleased to have you look over t!ie list and note those that are running nearest you ■ then take the first opportunity to see it at work. Compare it with other engines (if any) in the neigh- bourhood ; question the owner and many of his most influential cus- tomers and ascertain the result obtained by the thresher from the pur- chase of the engmo, weigh everything carefully and we feel convinced your better judgment will urge you to at once purchase a Fireproof Champion Engine. -(;o:)- TO FARMERS. We would advise you to take a similar course, and having become satisfied that there is not the sligktest danger of fire, question those farmers who employ the Champion Engine and learn their opinion of it. You will be surprised to hear them say one and all that they would not, under any circumstances, again employ a horse power if they could by waiting two, three, or four weeks, procure the Chair -ion Engine. We feel confident this will be their statement, and the i. ons for it we could inform you, but would prefer to have you draw it from them in their own language. Should you be convinced that their statements are correct, inform your threther in the most forcible and pointed terms possible, that if he wishes to continue to have you as a customer he must procure a Fire Proof Champion Engine. By taking this coarse you will be doing yourself a service and conferring a favor on your neighbors. Very respectfully, THE WATEROUS ENGINE WORKS CO.

More Work than 4 Machines could do. Engine No. 165. — John Henesey writes from Thamesford, Aug. 25, Gentlemen, — I am highly pleased with the engine I purchased from you this season. I have more work than four machines could do If I get along well this season I am going to get another from you next year. When I get a little more time I will write to you par- ticulars. I iMMMMi After dark tests— Farmers poke fire— Not a Spark /otmd. ENGINE No. io6 A. Udell wiiten from KingHinill, Aug. 24, 79 Dear Sirs, — In reply to ycura of the 11th in regard to the working of the Fire Proof Champion Engine which you sold Mr. Hughes. It is splen- did, it cannot be better, I am running it myself, it does its work with the greatest of ease. Everybody says it is the nicest running engine they ever saw. Mr. Huj^hes is going to do a good season's threshing. I went to see Putnam & Dance's Engine No. 109, it works well ; I started it and went two days with them and had no bother, and they havent had any bother sincQ. William C'ollard, of Belmont, is doing well with Engine No. 30, so is Chiverton & Dennis, with Engine No. 118. If you want a testimonial on Hughes' engine, I can get up a good one an true. I have had after dark tests, farmers would POKE THE FIRE AND COULD NOT see any sparks, nor one single spark. When you write again tell mo if you are going to have ai y engines at the London Fair this fall. I have two parties talk of purchasing this fall and are going to London with me to see them. Threshing by Steam -Good day's work On Friday, August 15th. your correspondent wended his way to the farm of Messrs. Chantler in Pelliam Pownship, to see the threshing by their new machine. They have a Waterous Engine and a Separator manufactured in Schnectady, N. Y. The intention was to try for he prize offered by the Waterous Co., for the largest amount of grain threshed in one day of 14 hours, the 15th being the day fixed for the trial. At 6 a. m. the machine was started there beii-g a double set of men at all points, and four feeders. The first grain threshed was oats. This was put through to the extent of 1077 bushels, the average rate, part of the time being 300 bushels an hour, although at one period while Mr. James Farr was feeding, for 20 minutes the grain came through at the rate of 6 bushels per minute. Thoy went at the wheat next and threshed 611 bushels, then 10 bushels of timothy seed, making in the 14 hours, out of which was taken 1^ hours rest, IG98 bushels of grain and seed threshed. This was a very good day's work, indeed. The machine did its work well, there being no more thrown over than with ordinary machines, indeed the was if any was so trilling as to be scarcely noticeable. A large number of people were in attendance to see the working of this engine and machine, some coming twenty miles, and all expressed them- selves well satisfied with the result. The grain thresiied was grown on the farm of Messrs. Chantler, and is not nearly all the crop, not even nearly all the grain. They own 205 acres, 20 of which is bush, and the remainder in an excellent state of cultivation. For several years the owners hare been running an ashery on the farm and the leached ashes have been plentifully used. The barns and outbuilding are excellent and very convenient. Taken altogether this farm is, to say the least, one of the best in the county, and the brothers Chantler are thorough practical farmers and have demonstrated what good judgement, energy, persevtrance and skill can accomplish in farming. • A Live Manufacturing Interest We feel 811 le that many roadera of the " Cuthulic Recorrl " feel a deep interest in the inunufactuiing eutorin-iseH of our young Dominion, and we fool only too glad to chronicle from time to time the amount of Kood these cstabliahnuints are doing, both us regards tho giving of em- ployment to our skilled and unskilled labor and alao furnishing the community with a class ot machinery second to that of no other foreign countries. Tho Waterous Engine Works Co., of Brantford. furnish ornployimmt to one hundred and (ifty men. This fact alone speaks vulumes for tho magnitude of their trade, and we know that this large business could never have assumed the present dimensions had not the gentlemen at the head of affairs been persons of the most sterling in- tegrity and rare busineKS ability. The great speciality of the Watorous Engine Works Oo. is their patent Fire Proot Champion agricultural engine, for which they are tie sole manufacturers in Canada. This is the only engine from whicli lu. tiro escapes, an ingenious contrivance in the smoke-stack causing it to extinguish its si)arks with water. The Champion is also the only engine with a locked safety-valve, placing— to use the words of the manager—" a silent watch over careless engineera." Its absolute safety fioni fire is shown by tho fact that, after a thorough test by eompetcint uu'n, many prominent insurance companies have licensed Its use around the barns insured by them By its use the savin'r in tinio, grain, money and horse flesh must be considerable; and as "the firm claim!! it to be the lightest, safest, most powerful and most easily miinaged enguio in Canada— taking least wood and water of any other —the name " Champion" is properly bestowed. On an average six of these maonificont engines are turned out weekly, which find rapid sale eighty-six having been sold last year, and 145 are being built this season' of which, up to this date— 2Sth August— 123 have been sold. An immense amount of gristmill and saw-mill machinery is here turned out monthly. Th( ir portable saw-mills are not only in use thioi.ghout Canada, but in Germany, Australia, South and Central America, giving the best of satibfViction. Their lever-feed shin'^le ma- chines (Smallwood's patent) are well known as being all they are lepre- sented to be— simple and efficient. Considerable business is alao done in the manuf^icture of corn and middlings mills, portable under run- ner mills, stave machineR, etc. This week we give an illustration of the 16-horse power saw mill J.ast week was shown the Champion Portable Grist Mill. One of these portable giist mills will be in operation durin<^ the fair to be held m Toronto next mouth and any one thinking of locating in Manitoba should see it. ° There will also be shown by the same firm, a portable 16-horso power saw null, Lue P,oof Champion Engine, self-acting shingle mill, grain- cracker, iind a full assortment of saw-mill furnishings.

Dear Sirs, — I would have written sooner but was waiting to see how Kobbins «& Struthers' Engine, a No. 3, Fire Proof Champion got along. I am happy to inform you that it is doing splendid. They have not had the least trouble since they started, over two weeks ago, with it, and their Fingal Vibrator, they can run all day without stopping,' except to change for different grain. The horae power machines have to thresh one or two cents per bushel less to get a Job at all, and then there are not many will have thorn except a few personal friends. After they are done threshing I will get you a testimonial from a few of the most influential men they have threshed for. I could get one from every man they have threshed for this season. I might MENTION that they threshed 1044 uushels of oats, wheat and barley in 11 hours, and in ^ of an hour threshed 200 bushels of of oats, the straw being a fair length The gTain was lit for market.

Farmers too well pleased to ever tcse a Horse Power. Engine No. Iia — Calvin Anderson writes from ^' gil, August 9, I received yours of the .Slst of July, enquiring how we were getting along and how the farmers like the engine. It works splendid and the farmers are well pleaseu with it, so much 80, that THBY wi^L WKVEii HAVE A HORSE POWER if they can get a Fire Proof Uiampion I have been to see the Double «eal, but they cannot make It work. One of the engineers from the shop was over the other day and tried to make it work ; he ran it up to 120 lbs., and then started to thresh, and in ten minutes it was down below forty, and he went away and left it. You spoke about sending one of your Agents down If 1 thought It advisable. I would not like to promise that you would take any order, but it might be as well to send one down, you might sell one to Bissell if don't make theirs run, which I don't think he can, for so near as I can learn all that he has sent out acts just the same as theirs— Paxton & Pringle's^ Engine Works. So driven with work threshing, have no time for anything else. ENGINE No. 109.— J. C. Dance writes from KingsmiU, August Gentlemen —No doubt you will be wondering why we don't send those notes, I regret that it has not been done sooner, the reason is smiply this, we have been so driven with work, both harvesting and tJireshing, that we have had scarcely time for anything except that. Ihus far our machinery is running veiy satisfactorily WiJl you please send us a copy ot the threshers diary and license for the London Mutual, as most of our neighbors are insured in that company. One of the Nicest things he ever saw Work, ENGINE No. laa.— Robert W, King writes from Zimmerman, August 16, 1879. I take Tery great pleasure in sending to you to let you know bow I am getting along with the engine I got from you. I am getting along good with the engine, it works complete. The p3ople are well pler\8ed here. The people say it is the thing to thresh with. One man came to see the engino work, he was counted to be one of the best threshers in the county of Halton, he siid it was one of the nicest things that Hie BVER SAW WORK, he said that ha was going to get »n engine next yaar. 'Hioae that I have threshed for say it is perfectly safe from fire. The people says it saves their horses. I have threshed six days, now I have steady threshing, other machines laid up. I expected a hw season this year, there were a great many people see it work and they vent away satisfied, that the steam was the thing to thresh with. I would have written to you before this only I wanted to see how it worked. Very much taken in by the Champion. Engine No. las- — William Lonsdale writes from Tomparanceville, Aug. 26, 1879. I feel it my duty to thank you for your kindness and to inform you that I am well ;;leased with the engine. I find that it is all that is needed for threshing, plenty of power and easy to manage, I have to admit that I am taken in in one way, and that is that it takes much less wood than I expected. Engine tvorks first-class. Engine No. 93.— O. Smiick writes from Caledonia, Aug. 27, 1879.

ENGINE No. 171.— Paxton & Pringle write from St. Catharines, August 15, 1879. Gentlemen, — We wish to let you know how our Fire Proof Cham- ion EnjBfine is working. We have now run nearly three weeks and have not had a stoppage or lost a minute on account of engine. She simply is perfect, plenty of power plenty of speed, and perfectly safe from fire, we have not yet seen a spark escape from the smoke stack. We are run to death with work, and have earned with her since we started $300. We have turned away many good jobs, not being able to do all that offers. We have had as nrany as seven ome for us in one day. The farmers are 60 pleased with onr threshing that many have offered to wait until winter if we cannot get to them sooner, rather than use the horse power threshing, which are offering to work for 25 per cent, less than our price.s. Some jealous minded people have tried to injure our reputation by circulating all kinds of stories about the engine being unsafe, etc., even saving that we have burned a barn, which 18 of course a barefaced falsehood. The grain saver at- tached to the Champion makes the most complete threshing rig in the world, no other style of engine or thresher can compete with it. The Champion threshes more in half a ,day than its imitator in a whole day, ENGINE No. 140 — Owen Fathers writes from South Cayuea August, 25, 1879. " ' ^ Dear Sirs, — Engine is working splendid, only had to pack two or three little places. T7e were threshing along Lake Erie, on the next farm alongside, one of engines and threshers were at work. They threshed all day and got 294 bushels of wheat, very dry and in in good order for threshing. We threshed in the afternoon 370 bushels of wheat out of the stacks, part of it wet, next threshed outs and peas in forenoon, at'ternooti moved to n farm below and threshed in the afternoon 330 bushols of wheat, next day in fore- noon 270 bushels of wheat. They have telegraphed ' for the maker of the engine to come and repair their engine, they can't get steam. I have not had to send to shop for anyone to repair my engine yet.

Bear Sir, Your letter of the 2nd came to hand, yon wished to know how I was getting along. I am getting along very v/ell, and the engine works well ; and furthermore, the farmers like it well, and will have no other next fall if they can get it. Some of the farmers thai have threshed are mad with me for not telling them that I was going to get a machine. I did not know it ravself till I got it. I lost two or three hundred dollars worth of work by not getting her 2 or 3 weeks sooner. I have been terribly crowded from all direc- tions, but they all want to thrash at once ; but I am getting ray share of it. T have about 2 weeks work ahead of me now. Grain is not turning out very well in this part of the country. Oats are bad y eaten by grasshoppers, and wheat does not turn out as good as people thought. I have been laid up with a sore hand but it is getting well fast, so I can begin to work with it. This is about my first writing since it took bad. Engine No. 16q.— Wm. Deo (Chute & Deo) writes from Port Burwsll Sept. 2 1879. Gents, ^I beg to say we have the best, nicest and cheapest running engine in this County or the next. Plenty to do and more jobs coming every day. This is the slickest engine I ever saw run. If you will fill out the notes agreeable to contract, and forward them to me 1 will attend to having them signed and returned at once. Engine No. 170. — J. T?. Brown writes from Woolwich, 'Walerloo Co, Ont., Aug. 30th, 1879. I am very dankful to you for te kindness to te whole familv, ant for t« goot material yon put in your Agricultural Engine. I am well pleasit mit your engine, it works well, ant gives perfect satisfaction. In te first place, when I had boat your engine foaks haf toll me I have done somedings wrong, there was nopody that would want me to tresh for them. I ask why. " Danger from fire." Te danger from fire is all over, dut te saving came into te farmers heads, ant den they all want me to tresh for them. I treshed for them rite along from te 28th of July to 30th Aug. I cut not do any better, and what a rush will it give, seeing that I cut get plenty work for two or three machines. I will 'soon ride again to you. There is a man that would like to get an engine and grist mill, he would pay 200 dollar in goot notes, and one huntert in one month ant the rest in time, xind that is all. Engine No. i.ijs.— Phillip Ham writes from Bath, August 18, 1879.. Gentlfamen,— I send you the notes to-day, I got the Champion the 14th and started to thresh on the 15th. She runs well and if she continues so she is a good one Second Report of No.^155.— Phillip Ham writes from Bath, Sept. 2, 1879. Dear Sirs, — I must tell that first about the Champion Engine, No. 155. In the first place T went and got the best engine driver that T could find, that was Isaac Amey, from Napanee. He says that it is a RIP ROAKEft. Theto ai'e a great many fafriiors eoojins to see her every day, and say they never see such good threshing in their lives, in fact, the whole thing pleases every one who sees it. Horizontal Boiler exploded-Cham' pion gains in favor. Engine No. 4.— John B. Sparling; writes from St. Mary's, Sept. 3, 79. As regards the explosion of Mr. Davies' horizontal boiler and engine, the only cause known is that it was got uj) too light for the work it was required to do. They were running at 90 lbs. of steam j the time. It was made by <& of -; > ""^ had been running about four months. No one was killed, but some were scalded, but all able to work next day. Please send me a package of jiurger by express. I went into a neighborhood this season that has been threshed by horizontal boilers, but when they saw me run for two hours after dark and not see a single spark, thoy were specially jjleased with the Champion, and stated freely there was a great difference be- tweon the safety of the two engines, and ia future they would employ the Champion. This is the third season for the above Engine.— W. E. W. Co. 82 Bushels per Minute, and don't take a bach seat from anyone. Engine No. 161. — John Henesv of Henesy & McCartney writeg from East Nissouri, Thamesford P.O., Sept. 12, 1879. Gentlemen, — I received your letter of the 10th, asking me how I liked the engine. Engine No. 175 gives me entire satisfaction. I have no trouble if I have srood wood. It takes a good power to run my 36-inch Separator. If things turn out as I expect I will have another one of your engines and Sawyer's Separator next year. I was offered five hundred and fifty (!$f)50) for half of the one I have. We have threshed at the rate of 3J bushels ])er minute of wheat, and we " don't take a back 'seat " from any of them round here. There are two of . ensrines around here, and I'hear the farmers giving very bad accounts of them every day. It Jseems that the governor's on _««.—— engines have no control of it by what I can hear of them. Everybody thinks I have got just the engine and separator. It takes the eye round here. I have threshed six weeks and all the expense I had is 50 cents. I broke the grain screw on separator by a belt running under it, I missed one day in six weeks by wet weather. Reports of bad working false, we average 700 Bushels per day. Engine No. 158. — Messrs. Dalton & Sinclair write from Nelson, Aug. 26, 1879. Dear Sirs,— Yonr letter is at hand, I am sorry that you have heard such bad acco .a , of our engine. We clean our engine once in six or eight days. We have no trouble in keeping up steam. The engine works well. We have a first-class engineer. We are threshing on an average seven hundred bushels a day. We l;ave more work than we can attend to. The bad report referred to above were cii-culited by parties interested iu other engines. ' W. E. W. Co.
