THE lMPnOVENENTS FOR 1850, ARE,


are not asked TO buy what has not been fully
proved by actual working.
THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1850, ARE,
FlRST'--A more compact frame; thus de-
creasing its width, while increasing its strength
at the same time allowing material reduction
in peigh.
SkCuND-So changing the shape Of main
frame, that in connection with other improve
ments, the side draft is almost entirely ois-
pensed with, and the Roker is brought almost a
foot nearer his spork, thus greatly tightening the
labor Of raking or
ThlRD-New fingers, shorter and narrower,
but deeper and stronger--thus more penetrate
ing, yet with same angle as before, and other
wise improved so as to suit the new sickle.
FUURTll-And Most Importdnt-A LIGHTER
DRIVER AND SIcKLE-- bus permitting an increase
OF motion not practicable IN any other machine.
The wear and tear Of o Reaper or Mower Is oe-
casioned nlainiy by the weight and motion Of
the sickle. The Improved Driver and Sickle
Of the +" Mccormick 4-horse weighing only
" pvsals, while those Of other machines are
FROM SO 10 100 per cent heavier Every
pound thus added 10 the sickle and driver,
wien in motion, is just so much rear md hlr,
not only upon he sickls itself, but also tho
driver, bores, crane and all the journals il IS
strain upon the ohois machine, IL geH as ne
horses.
The slight indentaton and peculiar cut OF
sickle, with the combination Of the spear-shoped
fingers in the . Mccormick, gives 1t this adj
vantage, aid II is one Of paramount importance
10 The farmer. As proof OF what is stated, we
ask you 10 weigh the sickle and driver Of other
machines. Owing to improvements oR 1860, an
increased motion OF sickle Of one-htih il OBJ

vantage in difficult moving.
FlFTll-So changing the fingers as 10 dis
pense with the lip or sicklc-rest heretofore on
every alternate finger. The bnck OF the sickle
now resting wholly upon the finger beam,
working in Il close grooye--adding TO the
sickle, on its upper surface, series or cleats or
cutters, which at every motion OF the sickle, eff
ieetngliy CLEAN out every thing that might coli
lcct or hang and cause choke. This improve
incnt ishighiy Important in moving in fine,
thick, tough grass, especially uhfA yet enabling
il to do It's work Ps.jeeiiy, atth9at liability 10
clog.
SlXTH-A Caster Wheel upon an entirely
new principle, has been added 10 the grain-side
OF the machine, Dholiy retiering The horses from
| pressure and The machine from strain In turning,
aud materially lessening side-drait.
! SEVENTll-A Lever Shipper, for throwing in
and out Of gear.
| EiGHTll-Thc machine Is now so perfectly
balanced, that in connection with the patent
semi joiDted tongue, the cutting apparatus Is
compiefeiv and easiig Mr0icn oUer o6Uructions,
wLie in molion-siinply by the weight Of the
driver while in bis place--lhus dispensing with
all levers and complicated arran genenls TO eff
feet the same object in other machines. This
obyiates All objection urged against the :" Nc
COrmick" rs n M0wer--and will be found to
work perfectly without endangering the dura-
biiity OF the machine.
NiN1ll--1he shield or guard 10 the spur or
main cog wheel is attached 10 the bride, SO
that in raising and lowering the cutting appa-
rntus itnIoyes with the bride, ONE MINUTE now
being all sufficient TO make change Of height
OF cutting.
TEATH---Angle Board dispensed with, and
replaced by an adjustable iron rod.
ELEV EN1H--New Scraper Board arrange
ENTHUSIASTICALLY clearing the track, and scpa-
rating the cut from the standing grass, In
moving.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for the leather
strap chain band for working the reel, which
viii not fly.
TlilRTEENTH--Onc Of the most striking
features in the G0-machine. is ON ingenious ar
rangement, dispensing with piotform and raker, u
lille boy catching the grain on a rod and de-
posting the glsei in the rear; this arrangement
has been well tested for two years in the West,
and has worked with great success II reduces
the weight OF the niachine very materially-Gt
must be borne in mind however, that In using
this fixture, the delivery IL in the rear, and the
binding must be kept up.) The cost Of this
fixture will be $500 extra, or the purchaser
may ~ the same price, select either The platoi N
or rod.
