Sir havebeen nslng one of your Reapers
| this season. | am well pleased with it Although
| The grain has been very bad, it has not failed to
operate frst-rate, and candidly say it is the
best in use, for several reasons. First the draft
is much easier, and it is built much stronger and
cuts closer land it leaves the grain in batter shape
TO bind than when raked by hand; and it will
| cut more grain with less team than any other
| Reaper in use. II will cut twenty acres day
| easy. A. Z. MARTINI

Mr.. E. W. SKINNER-S1: have used one Of
| your Self Raaing Reapers the past harvest, and
have Cut 100 acres of grain with it. | think IL
cannot be beat in the following particulars, viz:
Ease of draft, of turning short corners speed
and cleanness of cut and neatness of laying the
grain off for binding 1t saves the hard labor OF
one man to rake off, and does the work better
than it can be done by hand. l have used several
kinds of Keepers but none that could compete
with yours. Yours, &C.

The sin pIicty and durability of construction"
has Won my highest favor, for it shows that while

~ not been overlooked. .Cleanness of cut
IN have used the reaper in cutting wheat oats
Ut timothy and barley, some Of Which lodged

er 'NeatnrsS of Raking"-This part is most per-
p feet, and men biz ding for me say that they bind
