OR, 



SEIJF-RAKING REAPER AND MOWER, 



BEST MACHINE IN USE. 

 1 (the first) used in 1852. 

 40 used success fully in 1853. 

 300 i% twenty different Slates in- lS54i 

 1200 in all parts of the Union in 18-3-5. 

 • 000 building for the harvest of 18-50 ! 



THERE ARE SIX GOOD REASONS FOR THIS 

 unparalleled increase and great popularity; hit. It is 

 •strong and reliable, and easjjy 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 tin; elieaf, and doos not drop in the after 

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

 that the grain saving even exceeds the labor saving, 

 f'th. 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 numerous to mention here, are 

 fairly given in the circulars. Its intrinsic worth is also 

 attested by the award (mostly in only thre-e years) of 

 OVER 70 FIRST PREMIUMS ! 



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

 first September, and &50 first December. Price of 

 Self-Raking Reaper only 8175. Considerable saving 

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

 March ; also liberal discount for advance payment. 



To secure a machine, order immediately. Though so 

 lit|le 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. 



Pamphlets giving impartially the OPINIONS OF 

 FARMERS, together with orders, notes, &«.., mailed to 

 applicants, and prepaid.

BEE HIVES. 



To those interested in keeping hives it will be 

 important to know, that a hire 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 vtUho-tU 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 be transferred 

 as often as necessary to give them new comb with- 

 out killing them. 



ft F events all poaaibJlitj of robbi»£ whilst feed- 



ing, it is thoroughly ventilated throughout the feed 

 drawers, hives, honey boxes and chambers. 



The work ami progress oi the bees may be seen 

 m the hives and honeyboxes at any time. A medal 

 was awarded the inventor, S. Davis, at the ekhi- 

 bition of the industry for all Nations in New York 

 in 1853. 



The following certificate will show that the hive 

 has merits of a superior order: 



We the undersigned, inventors and exhibitors at 

 the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, at 

 New York, hereby certify that we have examined, 

 u-iUi ranch care a Platform Bee-Hive, invented and 

 patented by Sylvester Davis, of Claremont, New 

 Hampshire, and must say that it possesses raore 

 practical advantages for Bet-keeping than any hive 

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

 be interested in the culture and management of thai, 

 most interesting insect, will find it much to their 

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

 system of keeping Bees. >Ve therefore most hear- 

 tily beg leave to recommend it to those interested,
