have used the reaper in cutting wheat, oats,
timothy and barley, some of which was lodged,
but it cut them all to my entire satisfaction.
"Neatness of Raking'-This part is most per
feet, and men biz ding for me say that they bind
much faster after this machine than after any
handwriting machine they ever saw. The ease
with which this machine will turn a corner is
most satisfactory, not requiring cradle in the
field after the grain is once cut round.
Yours truly, R. CHENEY.
Mr.. E. W. SKINNER:-I have used one Of Pal

horses, and am confident that in standing grain

ground in day than any other Reaper in use,
and in regard to raking, no hand-raking can
equal it in standing or 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 and fifty acres this harvest.

it can be done by hand. The machinery is very
strong and not liable to break. 1t is the easiest

f W. SKINNER Esq.-1Dear Sir: have used
the Palmer Williams Self-Rakisg Reaper I
purchased OF you last July, ard viii say, if it is
not the best Reaper in the world, it is certainly
the best that have any knowledge Of; and
would cheerfuy recommend it to others for the
following reasons: First, ease of draft think it
draws much easier than any other Reaper have
ever seen of the same width of cut. Secondly,
the simplicity and durability Of construction.
Thirdly, the acknowledgements in which every
part of it is built. 1t is real pleasure to set up
such machinery, every part fitting exactly, no
alteration to make. Fourthly, for cleanness Of
cut and nea'ness of raking it cannot be surpass-
ed l am satisfied that one hand ia saved in
binding over hand raking Reapear Filthy,
the width of cnt, cutting full six feet have
not tried to see how much could cut in day,
but think from IL to 10 acres with two horses,
or Is to 20 with four horses. / never use but
two horses, and never hurry my team One of
my neighbors used one of Manny's two horse
Reapers, with cut Of about four feet, but had
TO use four horses on it. As a mowerI think it
nearly perfect. Taxing it all in all, as Reaper
and Mower, think it stands No. l, ahead of ali
DEAR SIR:-As have used one of Palmer
Williams Self Raking Reapers the past season,
and consider it just the thing for which it was de-
signed think it the easiest runLing Reaper /
have ever seen, considering ths amount of labor
it performs. 1t cuts as nicely as any one could
desire. 1t rakes off the grain much better than
expected. l consider the chain for driving the
reel great invention, as it never slips or allows
the reel to stop. l have used the Reaper 10 cut
about l65 acres OF grain, and l consider it about
as good as when started. There is little or no
side draft, and no weight of tongue. Any one
whishing to purchase Reaper for the next har-
vest, would recommend Palmer & Williams
Selt-Rahing Reaper before any other in use.
