AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
Improved Patent Hay Tedder. 
This Machine Is intended to folloTT the Mower, which 
leaves the grass evenly distributed over the surface of the 
ground: a non-coudnctinfc layer exposed to the Bcoreliini; 
ravs of the sun on tlie upper side, and if left, nndisturhed, 
will remain wet nnderneaihtill evenins;. Tii'^ labor of tuni- 
ins; this properly, ia even greater th:in sliakiiiic out tlie 
swaths wlien srass has been cut with thi! seytiie. 
Tills Machine tosses up the grass lightly, ieaviii^its fibres 
crossed in every direction and in the best condition to he 
evenly and quickly dried by the circulation of the air. In 
this mode only, can tlic nutritive inirredients of the grass, 
the suizar, starch, &c„ l)e preserved; and what Is ahnost of 
as much importance, in lliis way alone can he retained the 
sweetness and the frasrrauco of the hay, tliat makes it more 
palatable to the ;inimal. 
Another advantage in the use of this machine is. that it 
does the work so quickly, that the process of turning can be 
several times repeated, and the curing can by tliis nfeans be 
so liastened in any good hay day. as ~to allow tlie hay to be 
taken to the barn in the best condition, the same day it is 
cut. This shortenintr of tlie process of Itay making, enables 
the farmer to secure hi^ hay when it is nearest ripe for the 
harvest, and mncli diminishes the risk of its injury from bad 
weattier. 
It is claimed that this macliine will pay for itself in a sin- 
gle year, on any farm producing 50 tons of liay. 
Certificates and Testimonials have been received from many 
large farmers and intelligent agriculturists who have used 
the Hay Tedder, and all practical farmers agree that tliis 
invention is a success, and next to tlie Mower, the most use- 
ful machine in tlie hay field, and every farmer who cuts hay 
enougli to justify liis purchasing a Mower, cannot well ati'ord 
to dispense with the use of the hay maker. 
This Machine is sufficiently well known to make it unnec- 
essary to publish testimonials of its merits, as is the custom 
for similar im]ilements. It is no longer an experiment to the 
purcliaser, as it has proved a success. It will, with the aid 
of a boy and horse, do the work of eight or ten men, and do 
it better than if done by band, and is recommended to all 
larmers as a labor saving Hay Improving Macliine. 
I hope to be able to meet the demand (or the next harvest, 
and shall use my best exertions to do so. Orders will be re- 
corded iu turn, and machines furnished to the extent of my 
abilitv.
