pleasure of driving over Mr. ,C. P.
Yanstery's farm lying along the east
ern city limits, where a new six-foot
McCormlck mower just from M. G.
Newell & Co.'s had been put to work
that morning. Mr. Vanstory has over
ninety acres of fine land In the track.
ever half of which he usually puts in
grass, with an average yield worth
from four to five thousand dollars
This year he will make from the first
crop nearly four tons of fine hay tothe
acre, the harvesting of which with a
McCormlck machine is a pleasant task.
From twelve to fifteen acres can be
mowed in a day with this big machine,
which works to perfection. Farming
under such a system as Mr. V-an story's
should serve as an object lesson to
many agriculturists in Guilford. He
produces more hay each year than Is
required in his big livery barns.
;nougn or nts last years crop remains
to supply his requirements for two
months yet. Messrs. Newell & Co. are
justly proud of the farm machinery
they put out, the working qualities of
which can be so well demonstrated on
such farms as Mr. Yanstory's. Already
tnls year they have sold fourteen har
vesters and binders and fifteen mowing
machines. They consider quality first.
