MOWER ATTACHMEITT. 



This is an attaihment which enables the far- 

 mer, in all kinds of mowing, to cut his grass 

 without any aid whatever Viehind the mower. A 

 sweeping, curved arm guides the grass or grain 

 in front of the cutter-bar in such a manner that 

 when mowed the swath has the appearance of 

 being cut with a grain cradle, the heads all lying 

 away from the standing grass or grain about V2 

 inches in the clear. To facilitate the operation, 

 an ingenious attachment is made fast to the end 

 of the cutter-bar, in place of the shoe usually 

 need with mowers. In lodged grass or grain, 

 and when the wind blows contrary to the lay of 

 the swath, theee Attachments work like a charm, 

 having the cut swath lying just as desired. The 

 Attachment can be fitted to any mower. 



Mr. DuBois has now made arrangements to fill 

 all orders. The cost of the Attachment will 

 range from $ia to $15— the price varying with 

 the expense of fitting to diflerent mowers. 



ORIN Dubois. San Jose. 



Or call at the shop of Scott & Watkius, ou the 

 Alameda, San Jose. 



The Editor of this pajier has witnessed the ac- 

 tion of this Attachment in the field, and can 

 cheertully endorse the above statement as being 

 subhlaiittjilly correct. It ie certainly a valuable 

 I aid in all kinds of difticult mowing. my
