The following is q Statement Of Improvement
made upon The Machine During the Present
Year, many of which are Peculior to
M Mnnhinn nlnnn

Year, many of which are PecuIior to
my Machine alone.
LIST. The mechanical execution of the work, as
we'll as the character of the materials used in their
constrr 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
cumstances. Some machines have little or no side
draft whilst moving, but have a great deal whilst
reaping. Nothing but an Adjustable tongue can
avoid this difficulty.
9th. The highth of the stubble can be changed
from one TO hive inches in an ~instanc, without stop
ping the Machine. This is an important improve.
ment, from the fact that ii enables the Machine to
cut lodged grass as close to the ground as that
winch ls standing; or to cut a high stubble where
the ground is rough, DOGGY or stony; or the points
otthe guards can be turned above the grcss whilst
the Machine may be passing over it after it lie cut.
9TH. In case the Lifting Princlple' should be
preferred to the one Just described, the cutter bar
can be confined to cut al any given height, and then
by the use OF a lever, the driver. whilst on his seat,
can raise the cutter-bar parallel with the ground
from 3 to u inches. This arrangement facilitates
turning and backing, or passing over large st ones
or stumps.
7th In moving the Machine over cut grass, or
from place to place, the cutter. bar can, in an in.
stant, be raised, folded up and supported against
Inc side OF the Machine. No Machine in the world
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 obviating the danger OF the
team getting into the knives.
10Th. 1t has an adj ustible swathing stick, which
can be raised and lowered to suit tall and low
grass.
The Mower cuts four feet and four inches wide
Its Advantages aS n Reaper!
i. The reel has five arms instead OF four, enab
ling II to revolve at a slow speed, making ii less
liable to SKATER out the wheat, and is also an ad-
vantage in rutting lodged or low grain.
2. The grain is delivered at the side OF the plat
form, entirely out Of the way of the next round.
8. The raker rides on the carriage, where his
weight don't increase the side draft, and where he
can perform his work with case. and deliver the
grain in the best condition for binding.
4. The position Of the raker and platform being
in the rear of the driving wheels, all unnecessary
weight IL removed from the necks of the horses.
5. 1t cuts a swath six ieet wide, and will out one
acre per hour, with one epan OF horses, without inju'
ring them.
5: 1t can be changed from a Mower to a Reaper
In Is minutes, or vice versa.
Hundreds OF certificates are In my possession cor
titYing to the advantages of this Machine.
Price Of of the Combined Machine, $l55, half cas-
on the delivery of the Machine, and the balance il
SIX months thereafter.
Single Mower, $l2a; payments snme as for Com
blned Machine.
In case all cash is paid on the re ceipt Of eithe
the combined machine. or Single Mower, tive dol
lars we'll be deducted.
All freight and charges are to be paid by the pur
chaser, and a receipt taken for the amount. AM
should that amount exceed TIE sum Of three dollars
such surplus will be deducted from the price Of tn
Machine on day OF settlement.
The above machines are for sale in Csdiz by f
5. WOODBORNE; who is sole agent for Harrison
and Carroll counties. f $. W. also has u numbe
OF superior steel tooth Horse Rakes tor sale.
