 MARSH'S HARVESTER. 



The Marsh harvester reached its highest state of development in 

 1871, and from that time to 1875 it was sold almost exclusively as a 

 harvesting machine; in fact, the name Marsh harvester became so pop- 

 ular that that machine came to be typical, and the word "harvester," 

 although previously used in a ])romiscuous manner, was considered to 

 designate a harvesting machine upon which the bundles were bound 

 before being delivered to the ground. 



The machine was provided with a bundle carrier, which when tilted 

 permitted its load to slide off.
