acres per day in standing grain, and in lodged

and can truly recommend it as the best now in
use. 1t cuts clean and rakes it off better than
it can be done by hand. The machinery is very
strong and not liable to break. 1t is the easiest
running Reaper now in use We have cut from
grain this season with P. & WIS Self Raking
Reaper, and it did the work to my entire salts
faction. The amount of team used was ons span
of light horses; and as there was neither side
draft nor weight upon the neck yoke, they hand
led it with perfect ease. About one half of my
grain badly lodged but the machine cut it
clean and the rake laid it in gayeis in such a
perfect manner that each of my men bound 3
acres per day. man can bind acres cut by
this machine in the same time required to bind

work and do it easier. l cut with the old Reap

every kind in this vicinity. 1t is unnecessary

acres of grain ard grass, and the greater part of
the time have worked only two horses and
expect to cut fifty acres more before the wild

f ". SKINNER, Esq.-Dcar Sir: have used
the Palmer 4 Williams Self-Rakiag Reaper |
purchased OF you last July, and will say if it is
not the best Reaper in the world it is certainly
the bast that | have any knowledge of; and
would cheerfully 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 1t 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 ! am satisfied that one hand is 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 II to Is 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 mower think it
nearly perfect. Taking it all in all, as Reaper
and Mower, think it stands No /, ahead of all
DEAR SIR:-As have used one of Palmer *
Williams Self-Rakng Reapers the past season,
"hd ~ just LHiBs ioF WHICH IL was ue-
signed. think it the easiest running Reaper
have ever seen, considering tho amount of labor
it performs. 1t cuts az nicely as any one could
desire. 1t rakes off the grain much better than
expected. | consider the chain for driving the
reel great invention, as it never slips or allows
the reel to stop. | have used the Reaper to cut
about l65 acres of grain, and / consider it about
as good as when started There is little or no
side draft, aud no weight of tongue. Any one
whishng 10 purchase Reaper for The NEXT har-
vest, | would recommend Palmer 4 Williams
Self-Raking Reaper before any other in use

Il. w. SKINNER, EsQ-Dear Sir : have used
one OF your patent Ser-R king Reapers for the
past season, and it is no more than Justice to
'on and the inventor. to inform the public OF
ths simplicity and durability of yo1r Self Rakinp
Reaper The ease Of draft and cleanliness ri
It's work, far exceeds my expectations, and far
excels any machine that l ever saw. I have
cut thirty acres OF wheat that was considerably
lodged, In one and a half days, with a middlinp
sized team, and 1t was done to the satisfaction
OF the owner and many witnesses present There
are many more qualities about your machine
That could mention, were this the only one i
use, and knowing that the public are In favor
OF your machine, it needs no putting, il speaks
for ITSELF. That it has outstrpped any other
machlne that has been brought Walworth into
