ATKINS' AUTOMATON : 



OR, 



SELF-RAKING REAPER AND MOWER, 



BEST MACHINE IN USE. 

 1 {the first) used in 1852. 

 40 used successfully in 1853. 

 300 in twenty different Slates in 185-1. 

 1200 in all parts of the Union in 1855. 

 3000 building for the harvest of 1856 ! 



THERE ARE SIX GOOD REASONS FOR THIS 

 unparalleled increase and great popularity ; 1st. It is 

 strong and reliable, and easily managed. 2d. It saves the 

 hard labor of Raking. 3d. It saves at least another hand 

 in binding. 4th. It saves shattering by the careful hand- 

 ling in raking; besides, the straw being laid straight, it is 

 well secured in the sheaf, and does not drop in the after 

 handling,- and the heads are not exposed in the stack, so 

 that the grain saving evtn exceeds the labor saving. 

 5th. It is a good Mower, being one of the best convertible 

 machines in use. 6th. It has a knife that does not choke. 



Its other excellencies, too numer : us to mention here, are 

 fairly given in the circulars. Its intrinsic worth is also 

 attested by the award (mostly in only three years) of 

 OVER 70 FIRST PREMIUMS ! 



Price— Reaper and Mower, $200, — $75 on its receipt, 

 $75 first September, and $50 first December. Price of 

 Self-Raking Reaper only $175. Considerable saving 

 in freight to those at a distauoe who order prior to 1st 

 March; also liberal discount for advance payment. 



To secure a machine, order immediately. Though- so 

 little known the past season, and none ready for delivery, 

 till 1st. May, yet. not two thirds the customers could be 

 supplied. The reputation of the Machine is now widely 

 established, so that three thousand will not as nearly 

 supply the demand as twelve hundred did last year, and 

 we shall also be selling four months earlier. 



Order early, if you would not be disappointed.

 FARMERS, together with orders, notes, &c, mailed to

BEE HIVES. 



To those interested in keeping hives, it will be 

 important to know, that a hive can be constructed 

 with all the following advantages. 



The bees may be made to swarm from one or 

 more hives, or may be conducted into any number 

 of hives without swarming, and still have a full 

 supply of queens. They are protected from the 

 bee moth and other insects, if managed according to 

 directions given in the book, which accompanies 

 every hive. 



The bees can exercise without going out too 

 early to die on the snow in spring. The filth can 

 at any time be removed from the hives without 

 disturbing the bees. The bees can bo trs rtsfei °d 

 as often as necessary to give them new coi w 

 out killing them. 



It prevents all possibility of robbing w d- 



ing, it is thoroughly ventilated throughout the feed 

 drawers, hives, honey boxes and chambers. 



The work and progress of the bees may be seen 

 in the hives and honeyboxes at any time. A medal 

 was awarded the inventor, Davis, at the exhi- 

 bition of the industry for all Nations in New York 

 in 1853. 



The following certificate will show that the hive 

 Iras merits of a superior order : 



We the undesigned, inventors and exhibitors at 

 the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, at 

 New York, hereby certify that we have examined, 

 with much care a Platform Bee-Hive, invented and 

 patented by Sylvester Davis, of Claremont, New 

 Hampshire, and must say that it possesses moix 

 practical advantages for Bee-keeping than any hive 

 we have ever. seen, and do believe that all who may 

 be interested in the culture and management of that 

 most interesting insect, wifl find it much to their 

 advantage to use Mr. Davis' Hive, and adopt his 

 system of keeping Bees. We therefore most hear- 

 tily beg leave to recommend it to those interested.
