together narrower, ttyttcI otu StEohyeF anu Will
run nt9h easier, uiM no material sidedraft. This
cannot be well understood, without being seen,
| but is nevertheless so, AND so GUARANTEED.
We present. therefore, for 1860, the four
horse machine, the widest cut of all Reapers
and Mowers, before the public and the 2-horse'
machine, one foot wider than those of most
makes, ,ciM light draft for two horses in
Reaping and Moving. lighter than is required
for muca harrower machines.
Improvements are added to the "McCoR-
MICK, only as the result of long and PRAc-
TIcAB experience at Chicago, and the farmers
are not asked to buy what has not been fully
proUed by actual working.
THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1860, ARE,
FIRST.-A more compact frame thus de-
creasing its width, while increasing its strength;
at the same time allowing a nlGteriaI reduction
in aceigh
SEC0yD-So changing the shape of main
frame, that in conneXion with other improve
ments, the side draft is almost entirely dis
pensed with, and the Rdker is brought almost
foot nearer his toork, thus greatly tightening the
tabor Of TzkiRg Of.
THlRD-New fingers, shorter and narrower,
but deepe, and stronger-thus more penetrate
ing, yet with same angle as before, aud other
wise improved so as 10 suit the new sickle.
FOURTa-And Most Tnportant-A LIGHTER
DRIVER AM SIcKLE-thuspermt an increase
of motion not practicable in any other machine.
The wear aud tear Of Reaper or Mower is &C.
casoned m5inlyby the weight and motion of
the sickle The Improved. Driver and Sickle
Of the % Mccormick" 4-horse weighing only
81 pounds, while those Of other machines are
from so to 100 per cent. heavier. Every

when in motion, is just so much scear and tear,
not only upon the sickle itself, but also The
drirer, boreS crank and all the journals it is u
strain upon the Whole machine, as trelE as tie
horses.
The slight indentatiOn and peculiar cut Of
sickle, with the combination OF The spear-shqeed
fingers in the Mccormick, - gives it this ad-
vantage, ard tits one Of paramount importance
10 the TURNER. As proof Of what is stated, we
ask you to weigh the sickle and driver Of other
machines. Owing to improvements Of 1860, an
increased motion ofsickle Of one-liith is Oh
tanned, without danger Of breakingor requiring
additional power-bence can do good pork at
ever so slow speed This is an important ad-
vantage in difficult moving.
FIFTH-So changing the fingers as to dis
pense with the lip or sickle-rest heretofore on
every alternate finger The back Of the sickle
now resting wholly upon the finger beam,
working in close grooyC-adding to the
sickle, on its upper surface, series ofceats or
cGtters, which, at every motion of the sickle, eff
iectnally clean out every thing that might col
leei or hang aud cause a choke. This improve
ment is highly inPortoa in moving in fine,
hick, tough grass, specially lehen ret, enabling
it to do lis work perfectly, aeithom HaJitity 10

while in motion-simply by the weight of the
driver while in bis place-thus dispensing with
all levers and complicated arrangements TO eff
feet the same object in other machints. This
obyiates an objection urged against the 1" Me-
Cormick' as Mower-and will be found TO
work perfectly without endangering the dura-
bility Of the machine.
NlNTH-The shield or guard to the spur or
main cog wheel is attached to the bride. so
that in raising and lowering the cutting appa-.
fatas, itmoSes with the Bride ONE MINUTE now

Enthusiastically clearing the track and sepa-
rating the cut from the standing grass, in
moving.
TWELFTH-su Substituting for the leather
strap chaia band for working the reel, which
will not fly.
THlRTEENTH-0ne of the most striking
features in the 60-maehine, is an ingenious ar
rangement, dispensing Wih pldttorm and raker, a
little boy catching the grain on rod and de-
posting the gayel in the rear; this arrangement
has been well tested for two years in the West,
and has worked with great success ftreduccs
the weight Of the machine very maierialy-(it
must be borne in mind, however, that in using
this fixture, the delivery is in the rear, and the
binding must be kept up.) The cost of this
fixture will be $500 extra, or the purchaser
may, at the same price, select either the platform
or rod.
The improvements above named in connection
with the well known efficiency and thorough
reliability Of the "McConHick, /" heretofore
beyond all doubt places it IL all The substantial
requirements Of agood Re0pr and Mouer, far
ahead of all other machines.
