great improvements have been made, the leading

have used the reaper in cutting wheat, oats,
timothy and barley, some of which lodged,
but it cut them all to my entire satisfaction
"Neatness of Raking"-This part is most per-
feet, and men biz ding for me say that they bind
much 'aster after this machine than after any
nd-raking machine they ever saw. The ease
with which this machine will turn corner is
most satisfactory, not requiring cradle in the
field after the grain is once cut round.
