THE GENESEE FARMER. 



McCORMICK'S REAPING AND MOWING MACHINE 



IA.\[ manufacturing 1500 Reaping and Stowing Xfachines for 

 1854, and farmers who want Machines are requested to send in 

 their orders early. Last year I had not a supply, although I had 

 1500 in the market. 



I offer 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 JIachine of 

 this liind. 



Deeming it useless to insert long advertisements in the newspa- 

 pers, I shall be pleased to furnish appliamts with my printed Cir- 

 cular. 



Some importiint 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 points that will present themselves in these 

 JIaohines, will be Perfect Simplicity, Ease of Repairing, Durability, 

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

 Mower. I shall continue the use of the Wrought-iron Beam, which 

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

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

 or any sheet-iron lining that may be used upon it. Another very 

 important 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 

 valuable upon rough ground, or for mowing barley or lodged oats, 

 timothy seed, clover seed, &c., 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 as a Reaper or as a 

 Mower. 



The public are now especially cautioned to beware of Seymour 

 & MoRG.vx's " New York Reapkr." These men have been selling 

 my Machines, tlunigh under an i7ijunciion the second time since the 

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

 for past infringements. 



l[^° 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. PATERSON, at Ro- 

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

 cupied wheat districts. C. H. McCORMICK.

ROCHESTER AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY. 



THE undersigned, wlio has been many years engaged in the ex- 

 tensive niauuftcture of v.arious kinds of Agricultural Machin- 

 ery, particularly Horse Powers, Threshing iiachines. Separators, 

 &c., h:is now added to his business the manufacture of several 

 valuable implements — 



1st. ATKINS' AUTOMATON OR SELF-RAKING REAPER 

 .\NI) JIOWEK; an implement well known at the West, which has 

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

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

 particulars. 



Atkins' Self-Raking Reaper. — This machine was in successful 

 operation on the farm of B. B. Kirtlaxd, Gieenbush, on Wednes- 

 day and Thursday of last week, and elicited the approbation of 

 every one win saw it. It is impossible to convey in words any idea 

 of the mechanical construction of the raking attachment. The 

 cutting apparatus does not differ materially from that of other 

 reapers, but at regular interviJs 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 holits it till it swings around a quarter of a circle, clear of the 

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

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

 heavier draught, apparentl}-, 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 anv piece of mechanism, not 

 excepting the steam engine. — Country Gentleman. 



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

 in the harvest field, at Geneva, N. Y., in July liust, the Committee 

 appointed by the State Agricultural Society, took into consideration 

 its simplicity, duratjility, the manner in which it performed its 

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

 petition witli eleven other Reapers, they unanimously awarded it 

 \.\\e first prize of .$.50 and diploma. The Committee in their report 

 remark that "T. D. Burrall'S Machine performed its work in the 

 most admii able manner ; the gavels were well laid ; the workman- 

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

 liver.y, 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 Reajiers sent out 

 have given complete 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 obsei-ve that experience with this Reaper 

 will bear us outjin 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 Hussey's; 

 or at the side, like M'Cormick's; le,aving 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 h<a.s a Balance Wheel, which corrects the irregularity of the 

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

 m.achine. 



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 thei-e is now no doubt but that it will give entire 

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

 in buying. The purcha.=er can rest a.ssured that when his harvest 

 conies, he has something that will perfonn. 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 maj' fail, and in failing, 

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

 siderably more than have purchased something reliable at first. 

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

 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 soUs 

 producing similarly to your own.
