WOULD call the attention of the Farmers of

chimes. to the above Reaper, feeling satisfied that
IN it they have Reaper that cannot be surpassed
for al work in Wheat and Grass. Its reputation is
well established il is useless for me to write an es
say on the subject, batits practical advantages can
be proven 10 CIV one by an examination of the ma
chine. The perfect ease that converts it from
reaper to mower, the height of cut, the perfect
command Of the rake by the driver, are points of
great Importance, would refer to Henry Rohr.

stone. y blank space was left in which the
date Of her death IS 50 be inserted, at some f.
