THlE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



A TKIN'S SELF-RAKING REAPER AND 

 jjl MO WEE.. — Three seasons' use of this ingeni- 

 ous, beautiful, and yet simple Machine, furnish 

 convincing proof of practical worth. Three hun- 

 dred, scattered into 19 different States the past sea- 

 son, mostly in inexperienced hands, and nearly all 

 giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 

 acres, proves it not only strong and serviceable, but 

 also simple and easily managed. It saves not only 

 the hard work of raking, but lays the grain in such 

 good order as to save at least another hand in bind- 

 ing. 



It is warranted to be a good, durable, Self-raking 

 Reaper, and I have also succeeded in attaching a 

 mowing bar, so that I also warrant it as a Mower. 



Price at Chicago, of Reaper, $170; of Mowing 

 Bar, $30; Discount on the Reaper $15, and on 

 Mowing Bar $5, for cash in advance or on delivery. 

 Price of Mower $120.

 and difficulties, aa well as commendations, sent free, 

 on post-paid applications. Agents suitably qualified, 

 wanted in all sections where there are none.

CERTIFICATES. 



St. Geraviers, St. Mary's Co., Mil. Oct., 6, 1853. 

 This is to certify, that I have tried Messrs. J 

 Montgomery & Brother's Wheat Fan iu some tail- 

 ings I made in cleaning a part of my crop, which 

 1 did not think could be made worth anything ; it 

 extracted from a bitshel and a half of filth about 

 three pecks of pure wheat. I must say that I never 

 saw a fan that can even come in competition with 

 J. Montgomery & Brother's Rockaway Wheat Fan 

 for screening wheat. Benjamin McKay. 



Prince George County, Aug. 15, 1854. 

 To all whom it may concern: This is to certify, 

 that we have particularly examined the operations 

 ■of the Montgomery Fan, and find it, according to 

 our judgment, to be the very best fan we have ever 

 seen, both as regards the speed and the goodness 

 of the work done. We have purchased two of them, 

 one for Mrs. Worthington and one for our own use.

■Great Mills, St. Marifs Co. Md.,Aug. 28, 1854. 

 1 purchased of you, a short time since, one of 

 your No. 1 Extra Rockaway Fans, which has given 

 entire satisfaction, and performs better than I could 

 haVe possibly imagined. 



J. Edwin Coad. 



Farmington, Albemarle, Va., April 28, 1854. 

 I am so much pleased with the Fan I ordered 

 from you at our Agricultural Fair at Richmond, 

 last November, and which I have been using at my 

 farm on James River, that I am determined to order 

 one for my estate here, and will be obliged to you 

 to have me one made, consigned to my son, T. J. 

 Peyton, merchant, Richmond. 



Bernard Peyton. 



This is to certify, that we, the undersigned, have 

 tried the Wheat Fans of Messrs. J. Montgomery & 

 Brother, and we take pleasure in saying that we 

 regard it greatly superior to any fan we have ever 

 seen tried. We are of opinion that the Wheat Fan 

 of J. Montgomery & Brother will in a day fan out 

 more wheat and do it cleaner than any fan we ever 

 saw tried. We can, with the utmost confidence re- 

 commend it to the favor-of the farmers of Virginia.

 Your Fan is a perfect machine, doing all that is 

 claimed for it, and answering the highest expecta- 

 tions. J. R. Coupland.
