Iv presenting our claims for a continiuin<;c of the liberal patronage extonded to us during tlie long period of t^venty-six yearH, we beg to tender our thanks to our numerous customers who are uuw to be found in every county in Ontario tor their iavors in tlie past, and we feel confident that our long and varied expenence as manufacturers of threshing machines, and otlier agricultural implements will insure us the confidence -^nd support of the public in future. Our aim has alway.s been to keep up to this progressive age, and, as manufacturers ot threshing machines and other agricultural implements, we have taken a leading position and in our efforts to accomplish our object we have been favored with a degree of success beyond our most sangiane expectations. When we commenced the manu- facture of the "Climax D'ouble Cylinder" threshing machines some hvc years ago, and after thoroughly testing them, it was at once evident that they had only to be introduced to supersede all otiiers in the market. That we were correct in this view is amply verified by the all but universal admission that they are unequalled on the Continent, and unquestionably the Standard Macliines of the day. ilic proof of every excellency is shown in its mechanism, durability, light draught, 'ertainty of operation, and its approval and appreciation by .-.n intelligent puolic The fact that our business in threshing machines alone has more thav. doubled within the last few years, is sufficient, and further proof that th.ir superiority is freely conceded, both by threshers and the intelligent fanning .•ommunity. A. brief description of the position and operation of the second cylinder is we tlunk, all tliat is necessary to satisfy any person of its great utility in separating tlie grain from the straw. It is placed behind and in close proximity to the first or threshing cylinder, with an improved grate extending underneath, wmcli can be easily raised or lowered as may be found necessary, to save the grain from i^s- .ing through the straw. The grain drops through this grate and falls on the -rain-carrier and is carried directly to the fanning mill. The gram is thus so com- pletely separated from the straw that, comparatively speaking, no gram passes over the machine. There arc many other improvements peculiar to the Uimax that we have, by close obseiTat^ou and experimenting on the suggestions ot practical threshers, been enabled to make, the result of which has met with the approval of all who have used our machines, as the numerous tcstimouui s in our possession amply and conclusively testify. Our advice to all intending pur- chasers, is, buy the best made, the easiest running, and the macnine tliat will ao the fastest work with the least waste. These are points of great importance with- out which no threshing machine will commend itself to the favor and ratTonag.| of a discriminating public. We have no hesitation in asserting that the L Umax combines these qualifications to a i^ir greater degree than any other tl"-eshin|, machine in the Province.

Wo aro aow fully convinced that it is in all respects superior to any other kind heretofore manutaet.ired in the I'rovince. In couiiectiou with our own experience, we have the opinion of .some of the be.st threshers in the country in its favor as being HUjierior to any other they ever haw or u.sed.

CHOPPING MILLS. We arc building a new patent Chopping Mill, which farmer.^ consider superior to any in the market. It has b-en awarded a number of tir.st prizes at our " I'roviuciid IvKhil)itions." It it nuide entirely of iron, except the hopper, dispen.siiig with the wood frame u.sually made, and substituthig a neat and .strong cast frame. The Mill is capable of grinding from 30 to 60 bushels of grain in an hour. It does not heat the grain in grinding. It takes from three to six hor.ses to drive it on the ordinary sweep ho:\se-power. It is geared to suit cither the I'itt.s I'l.inet or PeUon hor.se-power.s, and can be driven either by belt or gear. We are Iniilding a .small, compact horse-power, which is well adapted for driving cither Cliopping Mills or Straw Cutters, to which we would direct the special attention of the farming community. STRAW Gutters. We are manufacturing the " Dondniou Champion " Straw Cutter, which is uuc(iuallod by any other .straw cutter in the market. It is driven by any of the ordinary horse-powers, either by belt or gear, by one span of horses. The knives FINGAL AND CLINTON are two feet long, and attached to a revolving cylinder. The length of knives and Its capacity for feeding make it the fastest straw cutter ever oflered to the public.

They are strong, substantial and durable machines, and can saw more wood in a given time tlian any other machine in the market. We ask an examination of their superior merits before purchasing else- wlicre. Satisfaction guaranteed. " READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONL'iLS. The following are a few of the many unsolicited testimonials we have received frcm all parts of Ontario from threshers who have used our threshing machines and from iarmr-s who have had their threshing done bythem.

We have given the vj Office address of all who have kindly favored us with testimonials, in order that any person havuig any doubt as to their genuineness may have an opportunity of com- municating with the parties themselves, and have their authenticity directly and satisfactorily established. The comoination of superior merits that our threshin- machines un.iuestionably possess warrant us in saying that they are the Standard Macnines of the day, and without a rival in the Dominion.

Ma^piiersox, Glascow & Co., Fingal. Gentlemen, -Our Climax Double Cylinder Threshing Machine works as well as ever. The farmers in this part of the country say that the " Climax " is the l.istest thresher, the most perfect separator of the gmin from the straw, and tlie lightect running, of any machine that ever came into the State of Michigan. We are thinking of getting another machine from you next season, as we find it impossible to do more than half the threshing that we could get mth one machine. J here art eleven machines in this section of the countiy, made by different manu- facturers throughout the Union, but all have to yield to the supeiior merits of the Climax, ■'^\e. ofl-ered 'to thresh against any machine built in the country for one hundred dollars a sido, but could find none who was willing to take us up.

It has given good satisfaction this season, and would have done so last, had I known (Miough to keep men who were favorable to the Abell machine away from it, tor they done all they could to keep it from working salisfacitorily. This season I got two good hands to help me, and kept Mr. Abell's patroni^^ers away from the maeliine. We ean easily beat any machine in this locality.

If you want any testimonials from parties for whom I liave threshed, I car get them from the best farmers in this section of the country. If you or any of your men will be down this way, we would be glad to hawc you call and see us. Wishing you success, I remain, Yours truly, ADAM BANNERMAN. Logan, Co. Perth, N'ov. 28, 1372. MEssKd.

Gentlemen-,— In acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 25th of Febru- ary last, in reference to my opinion of your Climax Double Cylinder Threshing Machine, I must beg to explain that I was not aware of the existence of your let- ter, until yesterday. In looking over one of the local papeis (the Chatham Plamt) I noticed my name among the list of Advertised letters, and to my suri)iise found it to be the letter above referred to. The mistake or delay may have been caused by your having directed your letter to Chatham P. 0. in.stead of Louisville P. 0., township of Chatham, where I am now living. I should have had much pleasure in sending you my own testimonial, as also for others for whom I have threshed last year; and yet it seems hardly necessary, as your Climax Double Cylinder Machines need no recommendation from any one, «s they must commend them- selves to every one who may use thenx as the liest ever used in the Dominion. And I believe every one for whom I have threshed will not hesitate to certify to this fact, that last season was the best in one respect and in another the worst, to test the capabilities of the machines, we^have ever had in this quarter. I threshed grain with the Climax without the ie.ist difficulty that I could not have threshed with any other machine I ever li.i^' uot even the one you formerly made.

To THE EDIT9R OF THE New Era, Clinton : * Sin, — There has been a great deal of talk about different kinds of machines this last fall. So it will not be a crime if I give my opinion also. I noticed a letter in the 6r7oJf, written by an " Old Countryman," who appeared to bo disgusted with our Canadian threshing machines, on account of the belt flying off, and other delavs too numerous to mention. But I think if the Old Countryman could "et one of the Clinton machines to thresh for him, he would soon forget about the short runs of " twenty minutes, "etc. 1 have run one of tliem for five years in AGRICULTURAL WORKS. 15 9, 1872 last fall Ijy latisfaction an any one ion, owing [ til at your ARDY.

LAND. ;hines this il a ic^tc-r disgusted and other could get about the ; years in succession, and I would not now change it f«r a " Brampton Machine" that has only run one short season. I firmly believe that Macpherson, Glasgow & Co. manufacture the best, least liable to get out of order, and the most durable machine made in Canada. I may also state that 1 have used one of their sawing machines this last year, and I can cut from eight to ten cords of wood in an hour. I sawed last week two cords of maple in seven minutes, and 1 would advise any one in want of "machines" to go to the Clinton Foundry, and support home '""""f'"'"^'^- ^ W. HAIIRIS. Eelgvave, Jan. 1st, 1872. Froiii the Clinlon Kcv Era. February 1st, 1872. Mr. V.'m. Greivo, of the 2nd con. McKillop, lately threshed on the farm of Frank Fowler, Huron Road, near Harpurhey, eighty-one bushels of oats in fifteen minutes. Mr. G. says the oats were of the finest quality— in fact, the best he had c\-er seen. The maciuue used was the Climax, manufactured by Glasgow, Mac- jiherson & Co., Clinton. This undoubtedly was good threshing, but Mr. Greive did a still bigger thing on the farm of Mr. John Greive, si.v miles north of Sea- I'orth, without intending to do it, as it was not even intendi'd to meaiure the wheat ; but some of the bystanders suggested that they should do so, as Mrs. Greive, the mistress of the house, had kept the time without informing Mr. Wm. tU-eive, the owner of the machine, that she was doing so. After measuring the spring wheat in question, it was ascertained that INIr. G. threshed one hundred bushels in forty-five minutes, the wheat being so clean that it was ready for market. We believe this can hardly be equalled— certainly not beat— in the country or out of it. Camdicn, Co. Kknt, Feb. 6, 1872. Messrs. MAcniEK.soN, Glasgow & Co., Fingal. Gents,— The Climax Double Cylinder Threshing Jilachine bought from you last season gave in all respects the best satisfaction, both to ourselves and to all for whom we threshed.

The Double Cylinder is a decided improvement. It separates the giain from the straw perfectly. It threshes long damp giain better than the single cylinder machines, and is not near so liable to choke. It will thresh peas faster and better than any other machine we ever saw. It runs easy on horses, and *here is no trouble in keeping up speed, li' threshers only knew the superi- ority of the Climax no other could be sold. ROBT. RUSSELL.

To Faiimeks and TmuisHiiiis. To satisfy my curiosity I have within the last six months corresponded with six of the leading threshing machine manufacturers of the United States in reference to their machines. The result of my investigations is that there is a threshing machine built in Canada, called the Climax Double Cylinder, which can compete successfully with the best threshing machine manufactured in the United States, and unquestionably has no equal in the Dominion. When I say this I speak from experience, having used these machines for the past two seasons. The manu- facturers are thorough go-ahead men, daunted at nothing, and appear fully deter- mined to maintain a position as threshing machine manufacturers that will defy competition. I would therefore recommend all intending purchasers to buy either from Glasgow, Macpherson & Co., Clinton, County of Huron, or Macpherson, Glasgow k Co., Fingal, County of Elgin. JAMES CARLOW.

If you pass through a .settlement where you see green stacks, you may rest as.sured that there is no Climax Machine in that neighborhood. The second cylinder is a sidendid improvement.

Mr. Houry Carter, the patentee, is a Canadian inochiinic, and has spent years of patient labor and experiment in cflbrts to produce a machine that would facilitate and cheapen the process of draining, and relieve the laborer of the hard, toilsome operation of the spade and pick, ami reduce the cost to the farmer to an almost nominal sum. His cflbrts have been crowned with success, and he now presents to the Canadian prbl' , a ilitching machine as near perfect as it at present seems possible to make it. It is oH'ored at a price that places it within the reach of every enterprising farmer in the I'rovince. ^ 24 FINGAL AND CLIN'i«.>N DESCRIPTION.

Its principal part, .ue an iron wheel lour leet in diameter and eight inches wide, with two flanges ol' .ve inches projecting from its edges, between tlie flanges on the eircun.er^.ce ol' the wheel are cogs hve inches long, arranged in rows of two at twelve inches j.!.avt around the wheel ; inunediately in the rear, and in close pro.xiniity to the b^ torn ot the wheel, is a plow-shaped cutter, arranged in such a manner that ai th continues Us npwar>] j ,rogi ess to the top of the wheel, where the cogs pass th.ough a comb, and the earth is discharged into a polished steel spout, and Lis at a convenient distance from the trench. The whole is connnected with a v,v upon which stands tlie driver, who has the power of regulating the cutter. The inaclune IS drawn to and fro in the same track, cutting from nvo to Ave incheo every time, until the ditch is the depth required. The machine is simple in construction, very strong, and not liable to 'get out of order It will work satisfactorily in the hardest, as well as the toughest and most adhesu-e clay soils, will also work admirably in saady and light soils and warranted to cut from 100 to 200 rods of ditch per day, three feet deep and eleven nches wu.e at the top, and eight fee^ wide at the bottom.

This is to certify that I have uswl one of Carter's Ditching Machines last fall, and in the spring of the present year, and can confidently recommend it as tiie best implement of the kind I have seen. With a little experience the bottoms of the ditch can be made; quite level and ready to lay the tile. With two pair of horses, a driver, and a nun to hold the machine, a ditch 150 rods in length, and from two and a half to three feet in depth, can easily be cut in one day. The machine being all constructed of iron is most durable and not liable to break, or get out of repair. (Signed) ARCHIIULD McKELLAK. Chatham, Aug. UO, 1870. From the Siq^criiitcndad of the Lunatic Asylum, London, Out. W. Weld, Esq. My Deau Sn;,— I willingly bear testimony to the value and efficiency of the Carter's Ditching Machine purchased from you. liast year we drained fourteen acres with it for our garden in very stony ground. In clear ground, whether sand or clay, it works well and rapidly, and saves labor to a large extent. Next year 1 hall be better able to give you the cost of draining by the machine compared with iiandlaboi, as I have nearly fifty acres to finish this year. Neighboring farmers v>-ho could join in the purchase of one would soon save tlie cost of it. 1 made a drain two luindred yards long and three feet deep in four hours.

Every one that saw it at work Was highly pleased with it. Many wished me to ditch for them, but my time is occu- pied on my own fiirm.
