DORSEY'S SELF-RAKlNG
REAPER and MOWER,
IMPROVED FOR 1860.
THE MOST COMPLETE LABOR-SAVING HAIR
VEsTER KNOWN.
TT IS WE'LL KNOWN FACT, THAT
there is no work Incident to the Farmers du-
ties, more laborious and osomc, than that Of
raking or forking off the Sheaves. from ordinary
Raaping Machines and none ether than hearty,
robust men, with vigorous constitutions, can en-
durc and perform it properly.
There is no necessity ef referring to this matter
at length, us every owner OF an ordinary Reaper
will acknowledge this to be the truth. On the
commencement Of Harvest, the question docs not
arise AS to who may perform the Rakcr's Part"'
but on the contrary, which one Of the number has
the ability and mani Y strength, and will consent
| to do il ! tLaLiS the question to nc settled.
Conrarc for one moment the difference The
| DORSEY MACHINE needs but tcamStcr, other
machines II man to rake of the wheat, and also
| driver to attend the horses. Now the man who
will undertake TO ''rake OIL, cannot be a small
man, otherwise he will lack the physical power to
do this work allotted, then, of course, bis weight
| is added To the lraught of the machine. and the
| horses compelled to draw this extra weight over
soft groundi!md after al this additional waste OF
time and labor his work is but imperEcctly per-
| formcd-et him be ever 80 skiiltul i'll the manaSc-
icnt oi his rake or fork, he cann"t deliver neat
| shcaf or fail to scatter the Siraw--On the other
hand, DOKSEY'S MACHINE, (as before stated
| requires only good driver, the balance OF the
| work is done, and done perfect by the Machine.
| The Grain is cut ut the rate OF sixteen acres
per day. The Shcayes delivered compact and
straishi at the butts, and II the binders do their
| duty Il Horse Rake to CLEAN would he useless
| Contrast the difference, and Judge accordingly.

The Knives, back blade and eye, are Of steel
| The shape Of the blade has also been rcmodclcd
and improved. Selt-Aiiustihlc Lever throws
| the whole Machinery in or out Of gear, by II back
or forward movement of the Horses, without
| touching the Lever by hand.
| The Dvider has been improved and strengthen
ed with grain wheel inside, decreasing side draaght

The Tongues have Double and Single Trees,
and \ okcs ready 10 attach the horses.
