Therefore, until a majority of said Committee
acknowledge that thew committee n blunder ir
giving my Machine the highest number of credit

the harvest OF 1858 Yet its triumph over everJ

5. The machine, both as a Reaper and Mower

The following lie a Statement of improvements
made upon the Machine During the Present
Year, many OF which are Peculiar to
my Machine alone.
lst The mechanical execution of the work, rs
well as the character of the materials used in their
constrt ction, is superior to that of most machines
OF the kind.
ID. The driving wheels are three feet high, thus
improving the draft.
Sd. The machine weighs one hundred and fifty
pounds less than heretofore.
4th. 1t has an adjustable tongue. by which the
side draft can positively be controlled under all cir
Golhs'ances. some machlnes have little or no side
dra't whilst mowin9, but have a great deai whilst
reaplhg'. Notnlng out an adJustlbie tongue can

preferred to the one just de scribed, the cutter bar
can he confined to cut at any given he light, and then
by the use Of lever the driver whist on his seat,
can raise the cutter-bar parallel with the gr' und

turning and backing, or passing over large ST ones

from place to place, the cutter bar can, in an in.

excels mine in this particular
9th. The Machine can be thrown in and out oil
gear instantly, whilst the Machine is in motion.
9Th The cutter bar is placed in the rear of the
driving wheel, thus o~bviattng the danger OF the
team getting into the knives.
10Th. 1t has an adjustable swathing stick which
can be raised and lowered to suit tall and low
