Reaping and Moving Machine in

experience, as it is brought more
in contact with tho various other
IS machines, has so tended to this
conclusion until it has now become
A FIXED FACT.
IS 1t is perfectly simple and well
proportional, having weight and
strength where they should be-
S The side draft is now as nearly
done away with as it can be in any
good machine.
S The Position of the Raker in this
machine is the only right one, be-
cause the aeeigM Of The man is upon
S tie main agheel, where it should be,
aiding gust so much to its poorer,
and where there is strength in the
S machine TO carry this additional
weight. When the raker is placed
behind on the platform, as in Man
S ny's and some other reapers, It is
so much weight taken off the main
wheel, where it is important, and
S placed upon the weaker part of the
4 machine, to be borne by the small
wheel and platform, increasing
s greatly the liability to rack and
wear out the machine. This sin
gle point, independently Of Others
S equally important, viii account for
the much greater Reliability and
dara5iHtyof Mccormick smachine,
s which with proper care will last
% years, whilst many of its rival
machines may not be expected to
s do service one-fourth that time.
In raising and lowering the cut
ting apparatus, Il retains IFS lori
S zoataI position, (Which is not so in
most other machines, hence the
cutting is equally perfect at every
S different height-whilst in Now
ing, by single joint movement
the cutting bar is made to adapt
S itself to the inequalities of the
ground.
This machine is so balanced that
S there is no weight on the horses
necks--a very important point.
The Angle OH the fingers or
5 guards admits of the sickle being
made with very slight indentations.
This popularity in shape of both
guard and sickle, in connection
with the reap-hook edge of~si sklse1;f
enables the machine to do its work |
perfectly, in all kinds Of grain or
grass, in every state and condition |
and at any speed, without being !
liable to break or gum.
The Rim Of Main Wheel is much |
wider than that Of any other reap |
er. This is most important, espe- |
cially in wet seasons and on soft |
land.
Thesim7le arrangements for pro-
teeting the cog-wheels from sand,
mud and cut grass are very eff |
Glen. and highly important.
The cut OF machine for 1853 is |
faH sis feet. The boxes are sim
plifed and the plan Of securing the
taps is greatly improved.
SelERakers and other machines
do well when all things suit them.
McCormick's machine suits all |
states and conditions, and alspdys |
does 'ceU.
c%' Special attention is asked |
to McCormick's TMO-HORSE
REAPERS h MOWERS for 1858.
They are in all respects the same as
the 4-hofse machine, but reduced |
in weight, and cut full five feet
Admirably adapted for smaller
farmers. Several hundred were
sold and used last year, and with |
the greatest satisfaction.
At the Great National Trial of !
ReaFers, at Syracuse, last harvest, !
the U. S. National Agricultural |
Society awarded to Mccormick the |
Gold Medal and Diploma for best |
reaper, after a severe contest in |
difficult work.
@g~ As heretofore, I will de-
liver the machines at all stations |
on the lines Of Railroads and Canal, |
and give personal attention to the !
fitting up and seeing them under
way, and every machine warrant !
ed in the fullest manner.
