DORSEY'S SElF-RhKINa
REAPER AND MOWER,
FOR 1860,

TxTE would call the attention OF farmers TO
! Wv this Justly esbrated harvester as the
best labor-saying Machine now before the pub
lie, notwithstanding all that is constantly
urged against Self Rakers by parties not having
a ltaker they tell us that all Machines must
have two men with them, whether Selfor Hand
Rakers, but omit to tell us the use Of the second
hand with The Self Rakefs, and as we know OF
no use he could be, we win not attempt ii our
selves. We would, however say, with all de-
ference to the opinions Of others, that we think
getting rid of The vcight of tro men tdriver and
raker) from the machine is 1T least 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
10 well, You only save one man." and some
harrow it down TO half man. making II, in
Iced, a very small item that is saved by it,
while Others will tell You: at will take one
binder more, and so nothing is saved.p Now,
we would say that actual experience has proved
Just the reverse, as no man has ever found il
necessary to put two hands wiha
Dorsey Self.Ral1er,
finding it only necessary to put a careful lad or
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 ralSing, who otherwise would have done
nothing. This, we suppose, is another small
advantage. Now for the raker. Who will
rake hand Machine for less than two dollars
per day and fifty cents additional labor and
| trouble in the house making two dollars and
a half per day--though of course this is very
small item, but we beg to remind larme that
| this will occur every year. in reference to its
taking more binders we think experience will
prove taat it actually takes less. For the truth
Of this statement we refer TO farmers who have
used our improved Machines. We would also
say that we have made desired improvements
in our Machines for the coming harvest
LIST. Malleable guard fingers in place Of cast
iron ones heretofore used.
I'd. A blade, or sickle, greatly improved
and made Of best steel, we'll tempered, and
rivetted on steel bars or backs, thereby making
them much lighter and stronger. All the
gearing made stronger.
