Atkins' Self-raking Keaper. 

 THIS machine is now ofTcrod to tlie public, and warranted 

 to be a good self-raking reaper. It is also believed to be a 

 good mower, but not yet having been sufficiently tested in 

 grass (though it soon will be), is not warranted to be equal 

 to a machine made mainly or wholly to mow. 



The raking apparatus is of novel and very simple con- 

 struction, and not liable to derangement, and every farmer 

 who has seen it in the harvest field, s.ays it performs the 

 raking better than a man can possibly do it. 



Price of machines at Chicago, $17.5, of which f 75 must 

 be paid on giving the order, .$50 upon successful trial, and 

 $50 in note payable 1st December. 



The machines are most thoroughly built and warranted.
