I'VE would call the attention of the Farmers Of the
w Westto the above Celebrated ZION HEAFER6
MO WEE which we are manufacturing for the Harvest
of 1881, and for which We shall he prepared answer
orders at an early date.
With the experience OF years We have been en-.
abled to bring machine high degree Of periec
ton, obviatng many difficulties experienced in all such
mach nes, removing many tmpednents wl,ch hae,
tcen developed by the working OF the machines, and
making improvements which have facilitated It's opera.

the Grain TO fall in Gavels Bundles and there
by enables the Rakcr 10 perform his task with about
half the usual labor The Farmer conversant with such
machines will appreciate this advantage. BY simple
arrangement We have done away with the Side Draft,
SO that the tongue works loose and free that OF
wagon, thus saving much worry to the team Ry
venient mode of raising and lowering to suit the differ
ent heights Of cut and placing the Raker at point
where the work is perforged with the least possible la
Dor, we have made the nearest approach possible to
good self.raker.
We are prepared TO furnish either the Combined
Reaper and Mower, or the Single Mower The latter
machine shall furnish with Reels which can be used
not at pleasure, they will be Of decided advantage
only when the grass Is tall or thin, or strongly affected
by the wind.
We formerly used Wood in the construction OF our
machines, but from its pershable nature and constant
liability to get out Of repair have been Induced to
substitute lRos for our entire frame work and cutter
beam. We shall hereafter adopt this material, as our
experience cOnvinces US that give the Farmer
for the same price, Machine Of Iron which will last
ten years longer than the best that possibly be man
ufacturcd of Wood.
The machine manufacture will be ed ofthe
choicest materials and built In the most thorough and
under the immec late supervision Of
the pruprietors and pains money will be spared to
make our machine OF invaluable to the Farmers Of
country.
Our Cutting apparatus is different from that OF any
other machine. We two Sictles instead Of one
worked in opposite directions by crank This
a double advantage In cutting, and We are Indebted
to this popularity tAan to any other for the supe

In grain, our machine requires one or two span Of

We have never endeavored by unfair means 10 force
machine into notice, but have left it for the Farmers
to decide its merits and wherever the machine has
been used, the feeling is uniformly IN its favor.
