u
WE would call the attention of the Farmers Of .h.
w Yves. to the above Celebrated IRON EE,4FER d
NO HER, which manufacturing for the Harvest
of 1871, and for which We shall he prepared to answer
orders at early date.
With the experience of years we have been en-
abled bring our machine to high degree of peyfsc-
ton, ohvatng many difficulties experienced all suoh
machines, removing many impedmcnts which have
teen developed by the working of the machines and
making provemepts which have facilitated its
ions IN many particulars. Our CURVED PLATyoRN
causes the Gram to fall in Gavels Bundles and there
ny enables the Raker to perform his task with about
haii the usual labor. Tie Farmer 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 OF
wagon thus saving much worry the team. BY a con-
Feent mode OF raising and lowering to suit the differ
en- heighs OF cut, aud placing the Nakef at point
where the work is perforated with the least possible la
Dor, we have made the nearest approach possible to
good seli-raker.
We are prepared to furnish either the Combined
Reaper and Mower, or the Single Mower. The latter
machine we shall furnish with Reels, which used
or not at pleasure. they will be OF decided advantage
only when the grass is tall thin, strongly affected
by the wind.
We formerly used Wood in the construction OF our
machines. but from its pershabe ard eonstant
LIABILITY 70 ger ont of repair, we have been induced to
SUBSTITUTE IRON Tor OR entire frame work and cutter
BEAM We shall hereafter adopt this material as our
convnces US that we can give the Farmer
lot the same price, Machine Of Iron, which will last
utactured of Wood .
The machine manu- acure will be construC ed oftbe
soicel materials, and built in the most thorough and
workmanise manner under the supe vision Of
III" Piop'etofs, ana no pains money will be red
make Our machine of invaluable mers Of
our country.
Our Cutting apparatus is different from III at ~ any
other machine We two Sickies inste adj Of one
worked IN opposite directions by crank i,ns secures
uouhe advantage IN cutting and Indebted
more TO this popularity any other for the supe-
roriy OF our machine for by it eaabIei 10 cut
cean all Kinds oGrass, thick or thin, dry lodged
or standing, smooth ground or rough single suear
OF Grass or Hay Cock thrown upon the ground. Every
contrvance has been resore! to- cio. choke the
machne such loose grass thrown rotden into the
standing grasssmail wads of loose gAss twisted up
and placed in u e standing grsssthe stopped
made ts start again without backing w. or draining
the Knives; but for all these things It. goes directly on
doing its proper vol.
In grain, our machine requires one span Of
horseS according TO circumstances, and driver and
raker In grass one span OF horses -ic driver. II
works with loose tongue and * easily Lrned or
backed TO suit convenience.
We have never endeaVored by affair aeaus to force
our machine into notice. but have len 1t for the Warmers
