FOR THE HARVEST OF 1858. 



The test Combined Reaping and Mowing Machine in 



use, as endorsed by the United States 



Agricultural Society 



Manny's ratciit witii "Wood's Improvtment. 



IT is with much pleasure and renewed confidence, that I offer 

 my machine to the Farmers for the coming harvest, with all 

 its improvements and increased high reputation as a combined 

 Machine and single Mower. The large sale the past season, and 

 great success at the National Trial of tlarvest Implements at Syra- 

 cuse in July last, where it was awarded one Gold and two Silver 

 Medals, is conclusive to every unprejudiced farmer that it is the 

 most approved machine of the kind in use, and the subscriber 

 begs to say that they will be perfect and complete in workman- 

 ship and material, and are offered to them on terms accommodat- 

 ing and suited to the times. With each machine will be furnished 

 two scythes, two extra guards, two extra sections, one extra pinion, 

 and wrench. 



Warranted capable of cutting from 10 to 15 acres of grass or 

 grain per day. in a workmanlike manner. 



Price of Machines as heretofore. The Combined Machine 

 varies in price according to width of cut and its adaptation in 

 size and strength, to different sections of the country, from §125 to 

 $150, delivered here on the cars. 



Price of Single Mower, steel bar, $115.00

KETCHUM'S COMBINED HARVESTER FOR 1858. 



THE improvements on this celebrated Machine for 1858 will 

 render it the most desirable machine ever offered to the 

 pul.ilic. Among these improvements are the following: — 



1st. An expanding Reel, very simple and ingeniously arranged 

 so as to bc! readily attached, arid is propelled by the main shaft. 



2d. A new, strong, and well-braced guard, which will not clog. 



3d. An adjustable Roller with a lever, by which the driver, 

 while in his seat, can elevate the finger-bar and hold it in any 

 desired position, for transportation, to pass over obstructions, and 

 to aid in backing or turning corners. 



•1th. A Roller in the outer shoe, on which the finger-bar rests, 

 which obviates all side draft and very much lessens the direct 

 d-aft. 



The SIMPLE MOWERS have wroughf-iron frames, with all the 

 other improvements except a Reel. With these improvements 

 t le draft of the Ketcuum maehiu;' is as light as any machine 

 k:iown, and by the test with the Dynamometer at Syracuse, by the 

 U. S. Ag. Society last July, the draft of the reaper was more than 

 one-quarter less than any "other of the 1.3 Reapers on trial. This 

 result is obtained by enlarging the main wheel for Reaping, which 

 lessens the motion of the knives and the actual draft of the machine 

 fully one-quarter. 



The VEKY BEST MATEKi.M. IS uscd tliroughout, and no pains or 

 ■money are spared to made the Ketchum Machine what the 

 f irmer needs. 



Sample machines can be seen at all the principal places, and 

 persons are invited to examine them before buying any other- 

 remembering that THE BEST IS ALWAYS TUB CHEAPEST.

NEW ENGLAND SETTLEMENT. 



TO ALL WANTING FARMS IN A MILD CLIMATE AND 



HEALTHY PLACE. 



Twenty-Tliree Miles from PliiladelpUia. 



ON the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New Jersey, an old es- 

 tate has recently been opened for sale, and the first division 

 of I0,U0O acres divided up into farms of twenty acres and up- 

 wards. The soil is of the best qualilv fur the production ot Iruits, 

 grain, &c. The price is from $15 to $20 per acre, payable in easy 

 quarter yearly instalments, within a term of four years, with in- 

 terest. The terms are made easy, in order to ensure the rapid 

 improvement of the laad, by enabling every Industrious man to 

 buy a farm. It is now being extensively improved by good roa.(ls, 

 and some of the best citizens from New England are erectmg 

 large improvements. It is a scene of the greatest improvements 

 out of Philadelphia. Practical farmers from the length and 

 breadth of the Union are settling there. It is an hnportant busi- 

 ness place, on account of its being in the midst of a great market. 

 Every article raised upon this land finds an immediate sale. The 

 water is excellent, and no such thing as fever is known. 



The soil is a sandy or a clay loanvl with a clay bottom, and re- 

 tentive of manures. It is free of stones, and easily worked. It 

 abounds largely in Ihe phosphates, and such is its fertility, that 

 from the crops jiroduced both upon this land and the large area 

 adjoining uiuUr cuUivatiou, it will be found by statistic report no) 

 to be excelled aiiywlicre, in the production of croi)S most adapted 

 to its market. The reader may be well aware that the earliest 

 and the Ijcst fruits and vegetables come from New Jersey, which 

 are annually exported to tlie extent of millions of dollars. The 

 land, besides being accessible in every way for fertilizers, has ar 

 abundant supply of the best quality of muck manure. 



Lumber and building materials can be had on the spot, at a 

 cheap price, from the mills. Other mills are now being opened, 

 and brick yards being started on the ground. A person can pu 

 a frame tenement for'present convenience, for one hundred dol- 

 lars. On .account of the exteiLsive emigration, this is the besi 

 course to pursue, in order to get a place to live in at first. Car- 

 penters and builders are on hand to put up buildings on the bes 

 terms. 



In settling here, the emigrant has many advantages. He is 

 within a/^w hours'' ride of tlie great cities in the Middle State- 

 and A'rtc Englnnd. He is near his old friends and associations 

 He is in a nettled country, where every improvement and conifor 

 of civilization is at hand. He is in a /fcoW)?/ place, and is no 

 snbject to the certainty of losing the greater part of his family ani 

 his own health by those malignant fevers which make the gr.ave- 

 of so many of the young and" hardy, in far-off regions away Iron 

 home and friends. Besides, he has a mild climate and an opor 

 winter. There are lliree trains daily tn Philadrlpbia; ai;d to al 

 those who improve, the Railroad Company gives ufree ticket. 



The reader will at once be struck with the advantages here pre- 

 sented, and ask himself why the projierty has not been taken up 

 before. The reason is. It was never thrown in the market ; and 

 unless these statements were correct, no one would be invited tc 

 examine the land before purchasing. This all are expected to do 

 They will see the land under cultivation. They will meet jierson: 

 no doubt from their own neighborhood. They will witness thi 

 improvements, and can judge'of the character of the population 

 Persons should come prepared to purchase, as many are locathif 

 and locations are not held on refusal. 



Title indisputable. Warrantee deeds given. 



Route to the Land.— Leave Vine street wharf, Philadelphia 

 for Hammonton, by railroad, at 7>^ A. M. 4 P. M. When there 

 inquire for Mr. BYRNES. Boarding conveniences will be found 

 A hotel is also at Vine street wharf.

 delphia. Maps and information cheerfully furnished. It.

SELF-RAKING REAPER AND MOWER COMBINED 



What Farmef-s say of it ! — Extracts from Letters, &c. 



" It is simple, durable, and well made." 



" It not onlv cuts well, but rakes off the grain splendidly." 



"The grain can be bound with three-fourths the labor that i 

 can when raked by hand." 



" My boy, fourteen years old, cut 170 acres with it this season 

 and did the work better than can be done by the old hand-rakinf 

 reapers." 



" It mows admirablv in all kinds of grass." 



"I boujrht one in 1856, cut 240 acres with it, and sold it fo: 

 what it cost. Bought another in 1857, which worked as well a 

 the first." 



Farmers! if j'ou want to economize in these times, better appl.'
