MCCORMICK'S KEAPING AND MOWING MACHINE' 



I AM ui;iniif:u'turins liJOO Ilenpin^ and ^^lowing Mai'liines for 

 lSo4, aii'i lUnnurs who waut JlachiiR'S are reciueated to bl-ikI in 

 their orilers early. Last year I had not a supjily, although I had 

 loOU in the market. 



1 olTer my large experience (both in this country and in Europe) 

 for the last fifteen years and more in this business, as the safest 

 guarantee the farmer can have in the purchase of a Machine of 

 this kind. 



Deeming it useles.s to insert long advertisements in the newspa- 

 per's, I shall be pleased to furnish applicants with my printed Cir- 

 cular. 



Some important improvements have been made, while the Ma- 

 chine will be found .as simple and efficient as a Machine of the kind 

 can be. The important poiuLs tJiat will present themselves in these 

 Machines, will lie Perfect Simplicity, Ease of Repiiiring, Durability, 

 and Adaptation to the Wants of the Farmer as a Reaper and 

 Mower. 1 shall continue the use of the Wrought-irou Beam, which 

 will be found very important in mowing, because of the friction 

 upon the ground, and liability to tear and wear a AVooden Beam, 

 or anv sheet-i^on Iming that may be used upon it. Another very 

 imporfcmt advantage which I claim for my Combined Machine is 

 that it can be readily changed so as to cut any desired height of 

 stubble as a Reaper or Mower by simply removing three bolts. 

 This principle will be found wanting in other machines, though 

 v.aluable upon rough ground, or for mowing barley or lodged oats, 

 tiraothv si'ed, clover seed, kc, or where the ground may not be 

 firm, and there be liability in the wheels to sink and the cutter to 

 be brought in contact with the ground, sand, gravel, &c. With my 

 Combined Machine the farmer has the advantage of a Reel in 

 mowing, which admits of a slow walk to the horses, and is es- 

 pecially valuable when the wind interferes with the successful ope- 

 ration of the Machine. I have no fear of the result upon trial of 

 the Machine with others ; it has no superior aa a Reaper or as a 

 Mower. 



The public are now especially cautioned to beware of Seymour 

 & MoRCA.v's " New York Reapkr." These men have been selling 

 my Machines, though under an injiindion the second time since the 

 re-issue of my Patent in April last, in addition to a verdict of $20,000 

 for past inf;'ingements. 



SJ;f^ Sundry other parties will soon be held to strict account for 

 their infringements under this Patent, which makes them just as 

 liable to be enjoined as Seymour & Morgan. 



The Machine will be warranted equal to any other, both as a 

 Reaper and as a Mower; and it will be forwarded to any part of 

 New York or Canada, if ordered of THOS. J. PATERSOiV, at Ro- 

 chester, N'. Y., who wants Agents to seU it in some of the unoc- 

 cuj)ied wheat districts. C. H. McCORinCK.

MOWER AND REAPER. 



FORBUSH'S NEW IMPROVED COMBINED REAPER 



AND M0W3R. 



THE above patent macliine is now permanently established, and 

 its entire success as a reaper and m(3wer proved beyond all 

 doubt. This machine will be warranted to be made in a workman- 

 like manner, and of the best materials, and is capable of cutting 

 from ten to fifteen acres of grass or grain per daj- ; and in all re- 

 spects to do the work as well, and as easy for the horses, as any 

 other machine in the country.

ROCHESTER AGRICULTURAL MACHINERy. 



THE undersigned, who has been man}' years engaged in the ex- 

 tensive manufacture of various kinds of Agricultural Machin- 

 ery, particularly Horse Powers, Threshing Machines, Separator:^ 

 kc, has now added to his business the manufacture of several 

 valuable implements — 



1st. ATKINS' AUTOMATON OR SELF-RAKING REAPER 

 AND MOWER; an implement well known at the West, which Ikus 

 been advertised for the bust three months by Mr. Wright of Chi- 

 cago, in the Genesee Farmer, to which the reader is referred for 

 particulars. 



Atkin^ Self-Raking Reaper. — This machine was in successful 

 operation on the farm of B. B. Kirtlan'd, Greenbush, on Wednes- 

 day and Thursday of bust week, and elicited the a] probation of 

 every one wh< saw it. It is impossible to convey in w ords any idea 

 of the mechanical construction of the raking attachment. Tlie 

 cutting apparatus does not differ materially from that of otln r 

 reapers, but at regular intervals an arm, to which a rake is attached, 

 extends itself to the farther part of the apron, slowly draws itself 

 the length of the apron, pressing the grain against a plate, where 

 it holds it till it swings around a quarter of a circle, clear of the 

 machine, and coolly deposits its neat sheaf on the ground, when it 

 immediately returns to repeat the process. The machine is not of 

 heavier draught, apparentl_v, than other machines — and it does its 

 cutting fully equal to any we have seen work. While it has no 

 superior as a practical thing, it is a curiosity worth quite a pilgrim- 

 age to see. It comes the nearest to being instinct with life and 

 manifesting signs of intelligence, of any piece of mechanism, not 

 excepting the steam engine. — Country Gentleman. 



2d. BURRALL'S GRAIN REAPER.— At the great trial of Reapers 

 in the hai-vest field, at Geneva, N. Y., in July last, the Committee 

 appointed by the State .-Vgricultural Society, took into consideration 

 ■ its simpliciiv, durability, the manner in which it performed its 

 work, and the ease witli which it can be managed, when, in com- 

 petition with eleven other Reapers, they unanimously awarded it 

 ihe first prize (f .fuO and diploma. The Committee in their report 

 remark that "T. D. Dukrall'S Machine performed its w-ork in tin- 

 most admirable manner; the gavels were well laid; the workman- 

 ship and materials were excellent ; the circular apron for side de- 

 livery, the balance wheel and an arrangement to elevate the exte- 

 rior edge of the apron, are valuable features, &c., &c. 



This Reaper has been thoroughly tested practically, during the 

 last two years, in Western New York. All the Reapers sent out 

 have given comjilete satisfaction. We would say to those who are 

 not convinced of the superiority of this Reaper over all others, that 

 we have still more facts which we could not exhibit for want of 

 space, and which we would be pleased to exhibit to all such as may 

 call upon us. We would observe that experience with this Reaper 

 will bear us out in saying that 



1. It cuts grain of all kinds, in all conditions, without clogging, 

 and may be worked by oxen or horses. 



2. It cuts at any height required, by a few moments' change. 



3. It discharges the grain in the rear, if preferred, like HtJSSEY's ; 

 or at the side, like M'Cormick's ; leaving room for the team and 

 machine to pass again without treading on the grain. This change 

 is made by means of an extra apron, (attached in a moment,) from 

 which the grain is laid in a better condition for drying and binding, 

 and with much less labor to the raker than has ever been done before. 



4. It has a Balance Wheel, which corrects the irregularity of the 

 crank motion, and gives a quiet and uniform movement to the 

 machine. 



This Reaper has been so thoroughly tested in Western New York, 

 where wheat grows as stout or stouter than in any other part of 

 the country, that there is now no doubt but that it will give entire 

 satisfaction to all who may purchase. There is, however, no risk 

 in buying. The purchaser can rest assured that when his harvest 

 comes, he has something that will perform. It is not like an un- 

 tried thing, or a thing that has not been tried in the Genesee coun- 

 try, where wheat grows large and stout, and may fail, and in failing, 

 make the purchaser enough expense in money and trouble to con- 

 siderably more than have purchased something reUable at first. 

 Experiments cost too much money, time and trouble, to be earned 

 on in the hurry of harvest time, and by those who ha e crops to 

 secure. We say, therefore, if you buy a Reaper, buy one, the relia- 

 bility of which has been demonstrated by thorough, practical ex- 

 periment, and if possible, in your own neighborhood, and on soUa 

 producing similarly to your own.
