I thought I would take a run up and see if you didn't want to buy a sewing machine, 1 ' said the agent to. Farmer Grimes, "I don't know as I do," replied the farmer; " I've got most of my Spring Bowing done." But won't you require it for sewing in the summer ?" "Look here, young feller; we don't sow in the summer, We cut, and gathers, and binds." "Oh, well, this machine gathers and binds." 11 Mebbe you'll be telling me next that your machine will haul in the crap and an' put it in the barn. Don't come around here with, any of your big stories," "Don't be ruffled my dear sir I think you do not understand, J mean a machine to i sew cloth, not grain.' "Ahem!..you do,', do you. Then you'd better go talk to the .wirnmin. .It's: a good ithing you didn't mean the other kind, for if you'd kep' on telling me about your wonderful machine, for plan tin' an' reapin' you'd got me a rippin' an!a.tearin' till I'd daated'yer."
