Burral's New Reaper. 



AT the late State Fair, at Syracu.se. the first premium was awar- 

 ded to Mr. Burrai. for the best Grain Reaper, in competition 

 with Hussey's and McCorraick's— both present. Since that time 

 it has been improved in many respects, and is now unquestiona- 

 bly the best Afachine for the purpose before the public. It was 

 thoroughly tested the last season in the same field with Hussey"s 

 and McCormick's, and pronouaced by all present far superior to 

 either. L is sogeered that it runs light, can be drove either slow 

 OP fast, and cuts either wet or green grass, or lodged wheat, with- 

 out clogging. These are important <|Ualities in a Reaper all know 

 who have been bothered in the use of Hussey's and other Reapers, 

 from a lack of these qualities. The manner of raising and lower- 

 ing the apron, and throwing the .Machine in and out of geer, are 

 also improvements. But without particularizing further, we would 

 say. that having been interested, the last two years, in the s.ale of 

 the Hussi^y Reaper.*, we know its good and bad qualities, and have 

 had consiiierable acquaintance with other Reapers. We can point 

 out the differences between the Burrai Reaprrs and others, and 

 show wherein the Burrai Reaper is superior. All vho are think- 

 ing of purchasing Reapers are invited to cad at our store and ex- 

 amine the Machine and hear what we have to say in regard to 

 Reapers generally. The Reaper is warranted, and will be put to 

 work for the purchaser by us, if desired, free of charge, if we do 

 not have too far to go. 



We have the exclusive sale of them in this city, and sell at the 

 manufacturer's prices, adding transportation.

NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S 



FIRST PRE.MIUM 



RAILROAD IIORSK POWERS. 



rr^HE above justly celebrated Power.s, as now made and sold by 

 -L the subscribers, are offered the public with the assurance 

 that they are all they are represented— they having been very ex- 

 ti'nsively and thoroughly introduced and tested side by side with 

 all the Tread Powers known of note in the country, and been pre- 

 ferred. 



The Chairman of the Ag. Society's Committee on Horse Powers, 

 in a communication written some months after the awarding of 

 preniinins to the above Hor.se Power, says : '■ 1 spent much time at 

 the late State Fair (Sept. 10th) at Albany in examining the various 

 Horse Fower.s. viz , Wheeler's. Allen's. Ham's, and Emery & Co.'s, 

 first with the owners and makers and heard all they could say. and 

 iigain in their absence, and the result most fully convinced me that 

 yours was the best, and if I wanted one. I would give Twkntt 

 Dollars more for yours than for any other on the ground; and as 

 you won yourlaurelsfairly.it is just that you should recf-ive afuU 

 reward." He further says. •' You know from experience. I have no 

 partiality for your establishment, and as a committee man of said 

 Society for years. I h.ave decided oftener against you than for you ; 

 and if others have a better article than you. 1 wouW decide in 

 their favor though it ruined your establishment, and, vica versa, 

 hurt whom it may." • 



With the testimony of .'uch men as the author of the foregoing, 

 which, together with changeable geering. and other important im- 

 provements since last season, make it the most convenient, dura- 

 ble, efficient and economical Power now made ; and the public may 

 rest assured of being furnished by us with a supeiior machine. —
