! M II would call the attention OF farmers L
w this justly celt bratcd harvester as thu
best laborsavng Machine now before the pub

urged against Self-Rakers by parties not having
Raker they tell us that all Machines mus
have two men with them, whether Selfor HAND
Rakers but omit to tell us the use oftheseconC
hand with the ell-Rakers, and as we know o
no use he could be, we will not attempt it our
selves. We would however say, with all dc
ference to the opinions Of others, that we thinl
getting rid Of The ueigh ftuo men tdriver and
raker) from the machine is at least a small ad-
vantage, as it must necessarily run lighter, and
the wear and tear Of Machine must be less.
Again they tell us: " If the rake really does
do well, you only save one man, and some
narrow ii down TO half a man, making it, in
deed very small item that is saved by it,
while others will tell you: "It will take one
we would say that actual experience has proved
I just the reverse, as no man has ever found il
necessary to put two hands witha
Dorsey Self-Raker,
finding it only necessary to put careful lad OF
/ boy with them, who would be Of little use in
| the field elsewhere, and not few farmers have
driven their own machines doing all the cutting
and raking, who otherwise would have done
nothing. This, we suppose, is another small
! advantage. Now for The raker Who will
rake II Hand Machine for less than two dollars
| per day F? and fifty cents additional labor and
/ trouble in the house, making two dollars and
| a half per day-though of course this is a very
small item, but we beg 10 remind farmers that

taking more binders we think experience w&l

OF this statement we refer to farmers who have
used our improved Machines We would also
say that we have made desired improvements
