4 HE subscriber is now finishing off a lot Of
HUSSEY'S REAPING MACHINE Els, al
so the Reaper and Mower combined. These Ma
chimes have stood the test OF many years. and are
second to none now in use. As evidence Of the
high reputation they have obtained the Palentee
is putting up four hundred of them at his estab-
lishment in Baltimore for the approaching harvest.
The prospect is good for a heavy crop Of wheat,
and when the Farmers consider the scarcity of
hands, and the high price of labor, they will find
it to their interest TO purchase REApERs, especial
ly so, when there is every prospect of wheat be-
ing good price, and the conceded fact that, by
the of Reaper, one busheL is gained per acre
over the best grading done.
Send on your orders, aud you may rely on a
good article. All Reapers sold by me, are war
ranted to work well as such. or no sale.
