Having patented an improved


Reaper and Binder Tongue,
Which is adjustable and easily regulated, aud
which will save ne-seventh in cutting, call
YOUR attention to the following facts 1t will
cut as full on o hillside as machine without
It will on level; in turning corner no grain
is left standing; in passing around trees or
curves its work is perfect; iii adjustable while
in melton as easily as handling the reins, and
it can be fitted to any machine. BY its use
every farmer is largely benefited, and many
practical farmers who saw 1t IN use last season
say that it adds from $50 to S35 to each ma
chine.
Are YOU going to buy new machine this
season? Ifso, insist upon having Dudderar's
Tongue on it. Agents will tell you that it
will add nothing to it, but send to me for
testimonials from those who have seen it work
On hillside, in distance of SO feet, there
was a fall of IS feet, and the grain was cut as
we'll as with the old machine on level, and
with no greater draft to the horses.
Following are few well known farmers

any questions in regard to the improved

This is to certify that have been using the

as invented by Mr.. Daniel w. Dudderar, for
the past two seasons on my Buckeye binder
with perfect satisfaction. have some very
steep hills ON my farm; have been unable to
cut the full length of the sickle. On hillsides
that before could not cut more than half or
two-thirds of the sickle, thereby losing great
deal of valuable time, can cut around stumps
and rocks with perfect ease, and would not be
without it for one-third of the price of the
binder. l consider no machine is perfect
