THE JOHNSTON 
SELF-RAKING REAPER, 
champion of ran: 
GRAND SWEEPSTAKES PRIZE, 
BUILT EXPRESSLY FOR HARVESTING 
GRAIN, 
is now the most popular and reliable Reaper before the 
public. With the same Draft of a light 4-foot cut mower.it 
cuts a swath 6 feet wide ; 15 acres is an ordinary day's work. 
It has been known to cut with a light pair of horses, 140 acres 
in 7 days. It is almost impossible for lodged grain to get 
down so low that this Reaper will not get it going either 
way. It is comparatively a mere pastime for team and 
driver to cut grain with this machine; any lad that can judge 
the size to make the bundle is competent to handle this 
Reaper; or if tho grain is of even growth it can be made to 
work automatically. Wherever worked in competition it 
takesthe Premium from all others ; in fact, as now improved 
for the harvest of 1S69, it has no equal for durability, capac- 
ity, quality, or quantity of work. We manufacture for the 
States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New 
York State, east of Genesee River, except the Counties on 
the Hudson River, and are prepared at all times to furnish 
to order. For further particulars send for circulars in 
pamphlet form. Address

AND REAPERS. 
It is claimed that the CLIPPER has more essential points 
of excellence than are found in any other Mower made in 
the world. 
Its mechanical construction and finish of its working parts 
are not equaled bv any implement of ils kind. This, with 
our patented draft attachment, makes it one-third lighter in 
draft than any other Mower. It is the lightest, yet the strong- 
est, the most beautiful in design, yet the most durable, of 
any Mower made. Nearly one-fourth of its cost is for steel, 
with less than ten dollars of wood-work. Finger-bars and 
fingers are made of solid cast steel. We attach to the No. 4 
Mower, for reaping, a dropper or hand-rake. 
An examination of the CLIPPERS will convince any one 
of their superior merits over all others in strength, durabil- 
ity, ease of draft, and reliability for work over all kinds of 
ground and in ever// variety of grass. Confident of this, 
we invite those Id want of machines to examine for them- 
selves before purchasing elsewhere.
