"Neatness of Raking"-This part is most per-
feet and men BIZ ding for me say that they bind
mi CHI faster after this machine than after any
hand -raking machine they ever saw. The ease
with which this machine will turn corner is
most satisfactory, not requiring cradle il the
field after the grain is once cut round.
Yours truly, K. CHENEY.
Mr. f. W SKISsER:-I have used one of Pal
mer & Williams self-Raking Reapers, with two
horses, and confident that in standing grain
that two horses will pull it all day with II
is constructed simply but substantially. Our
Reaper has cut one hundred aud fifty acres this
season, and have not been to one dimes
expense for repairs. ] eau cut neater and more
ground in a day than any other Reaper in use,
nd in regard t. rakipg, no ha d-rakiIg
equal it in standing lodged grain. We cut II
acres per day in standing grain, and IN lodged
grain 10 acres, when we cut one way only.
We cut one hundred ana fifty acres this harvest.
We sometimes worked two and sometimes four
horses. l h We no Moving Attachment, bat

and C n uly recommend it as the best now in
use. II cuts clean and rakes il off better than
it can be done by hand. The machinery is rery
strong and not liable to break. 1t is the easiest
running Reaper now in use. We have cut from
grain this seasou with I. i VS. SelfEaking
Reaper and il did the work to nv entire salts
faction. The amount Of team used was span

Self-Raking Reaper with Moving A tachment.
f w. SKINNER, E-q.-Dear Sir: l have used
the Palmer & " iiliams Self Rakipg Reaper l
purchased OF you last July, and will say, if it il
not the best Reaper in the world, it is certainly
the bsst that have any knowledge of; and
would cheerlully recommend it to others for the
following reasons First, ease OF draft ; / think il
draws much easier thln any other Reaper have
ever seen of the same width of cut. Secondly,
the simplicity ard durability Of construction.
Thirdly, the workmanslkemanner in which every
part OF il Is built 1t is real pleasure to set up
such machinery, every part fttipg exactly, no
alteration to nuke. Fourthy, for cleanness Of
cut and nca ness Of raking it cannot be surpass
ed | am satisfied that one hand is saved in
binding over a hand raking Eeapear Filthy,
the width Of cnt, cutting full six feet. | have
not tired to see how much could cut in n day,
bur think from IL to Is acrrs with two horses,
or IL t. 20 With four horses. | never use tut
two horses, AID never hurry ms team One Of
my nelghbors used one OF Manuy's two horse
Reaper, with cut OF abo ut four feet, but had
10 use four horses on It. As mower think il
nearly perfect. Taking it all in all as Reaper
and Mower, think it stands No. l. ahead of all
DEAR SIR:-As have used ore OF Palmer &
Williams Set King Reapers the past season,
and consider il just the thing for which it de-
-igned think il the easiest running Reaper
have ever seen, considering th0 amount of Labor
1t performs. II cuts as nicely as any one could
desire. l. rakes off the craiu much better than
expected | consider the chain for driving the
Ttel great INVENTION, a. IL never stlps or allows
the reel to stop. have used the Reaper to cut
about l65 acres of grain and consider 1t about
as good when started. There is little or no
side draft, and weight OF tongue. Any one
whshing 10 purchase Reaper for the next har-
vest, | would recommend Primer Il Williams
Self RahiHe Reaper before any other III use.
