:KETCHUM'S iBUc'itoVED MOWING MACHINE, 



jWITII ENTIRE CHAXtiE OF OEAK. 



THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL MOWER NOW KNOWN. 



KETCHUM'S Improved Machine, which we are building for the 

 harvest of 1854, was thoroughly tested last season, and the 

 advantages gained by our change of gear are in all respects a-S we 

 designed, viz : durability, convenience and ease of action. The 

 shafts now have bearings at both ends, which overcome all cramp- 

 ing and cutting away of boxing. A counter balance is attached to 

 the crank shaft, which gives it a steady and uniform mption. Each 

 Machine can be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience at 

 each and every nut, all of tliem being on the upper side of the frame ; 

 oil cups are attaclie<l to all the bearings, wliich, )jv the use of a wad 

 of cotton, will hold oil for a long time, as well as jirotect the bear- 

 ings from dust, grit, &c. ; the finger bar is lined with iron its full 

 width, wliich protects it from wear. 



These and \arious other additions for strength, durability, &c., 

 make it the most simple and perfect agricultural implement iu use. 

 They weigli about 750 lbs. each, and can easily be carried iu a one- 

 horse wagon. 



It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for operation, 

 there being but two bolts (besides the pole bolts) to be secured to 

 have one ready for use. They will cut all kinds of gi-ass, and ope- 

 rate well on uneven or rolling lands, or where there are dead fur- 

 rows. This Machine took the highest award, with special approba- 

 tion, at the World's F;iir ; it also received, during last season, one 

 silver and four gold medals, and various other flattering and sub- 

 stantial testimonials of approval. We ha\-e spared neither pains 

 nor money to make this machine desen-ing of public favor, and 

 hope to be able the coming season to supply the great and increas- 

 ing deiuand. 



We take this occasion to ciiution farmers against buying untried 

 Mowers ; if they do (as was the case with many last year), they will 

 incur loss, vo.\ation and disappointment. 



If any parts are wanted to repair any Machine we have sold, or 

 may hereafter sell, they will be furnished and only manufacturers' 

 cost for the same be charged. 



J"^ In aV cases where Extra.? are wanted, be sure to give us the 

 number of ijour Machine. 



(Warraxtv :) That said Machines are capable of cutting and 

 spreading, with one span of horses and driver, fi-om ten to fifteen, 

 acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as well as it is done 

 with a .scythe by the best of mowers. 



The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and extras, is 

 $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on board of boat or cars free of 

 of charge.

ATKINS' SELF-EAKING EEAPER. 



A f\ *-*^ these machines were used the bust harvest in grass or 

 HcU grain, or both, with almost uniformly good succes.s, in nine 

 dill'eient States and Canada. 



TWENTY-SIX PRE>nUMS, 

 including two at the Cruftal Palace (silver and bronze medals), 

 were awarded it at the auUinni exhibitions. I am liuildiug only 800, 

 which are being rapidly (udi-rcd. Mr. .Joseph Hall, Roclicsler, N. 

 Y., will also build a few. E^^ Early ordew neces.sary to insure a 

 Reaper. 



Price at Chicago $175 — S75 cash with order, note for $50, payable 

 when Reaper works successfully, and another for $'50, payable fir.st 

 December next, with interest ; or gilGO cash in ivUvance. War- 

 ranted to he a good Self-raking Reaper. 



\f^ Agents, properly recommended, wanted throughout the 

 country. Experienced Agents preferred. It is important tlii.-* year 

 to have the m.aehincs widely scattered. 



Descriptive circulars, with cuts, and giving impartially the diffi- 

 culties as well as successes of the Reaper, nxiiled to post-paid appli- 

 cations. J. S. V/RIGHT,

RAIN WATER FILTEES. 



I CONTINUE to furnish Filters a.s usual, much 

 improved in tlie inside fixtures, for w-hich I have 

 obtained "Lettci-s Patent." They are now cosn- 

 jilete, and can be sent to any section of country in 

 .safi'ty. No family living in lime sections of coun- 

 tiT ought to dispense with their use, as whatever 

 istaken into the circulation has much to do with 

 health, as a preventive of disease. Tliey have been 

 fully tested by hundreds of our first class citizens 

 within the last ten years. I make four size s, at 

 •'S''5, S6, $8 and SIO each. They will last from two 

 to four years without repacking, which can easily 



be done bv any one with projier directions. Orders for Filters, or 



Rights of Territory, will be attended to at once.
