K ETCHUM'S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINE WITH 
entire change of gear. The only successful mower now 
known. 
Ketchum’s Improved Machine, which we are building for 
the harvest of ’54, was thoroughly tested last season, and the 
advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all respects 
as we designed, viz: durability, convenience and ease of ac¬ 
tion. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, which 
overcomes all cramping and cutting away of boxes. A counter 
balance is attached to the crank shaft, which gives it a steady 
and uniform motion. Each Machine can be thrown out of 
gear: there is great convenience in getting at each and 
every nut, all of them being on upper side of the frame : oil 
cups are attached to all the bearings, which, by the use of a 
wad of cotton, will Hold oil for a long time, as well as protect 
the bearings from dust, grit, &c.; the finger bar is lined with 
iron its full width, which protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
Ac., makes them the mostsimple and perfect agricultural im¬ 
plement in use. They weigli about 750 lbs. each, and can 
easily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
They will cut all kinds of grass, and operate well on un¬ 
even or rolling lands, or where there are dead furrows. This 
Machine took the highest award, with special approbation, 
at the World’s Fair, it also received, during last season, one 
silver and four gold medals, and various other flattering and 
substantial testimonials of approval. We have spared nei¬ 
ther pains nor money to make them deserving of public favor, 
and hope to be able the coming season to supply the great 
and increasing demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers, if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they incur loss, vexation and disapointment. 
VST" In all cases where Extras are wanted, be sure to give 
US THE NUMBER OF YOUR MACHINE. 
(Warranty:) That said Machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, witli one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers.

PANY’S IMPROVED SEWING MACHINES, manufac¬ 
tured at Watertown, Conn. Office and Wareroome, at 343 
Broadway, N. Y. 
These Machines have been in successful operation, in the 
hands of manufacturers and families, for the past two years, 
and in every case have given universal satisfaction. The 
Proprietors are now prepared to offer them to the public, with 
that increased confidence in their merits which the united 
testimony of their numerous customers has strengthened and 
confirmed. 
These Machines are entirely different from any other, tire 
principles on which they are made being exclusively our 
own. 
Among the advantages of this Machine over any others are 
the following: 
1. The simplicity of its construction, and the ease with 
which it can be kept in the most perfect order. 
2. The perfect manner with which the operator is enabled 
to stitch and sew the various kinds of work, from the finest 
linen to the coarsest cloths. 
3. It particularly excels in the rapidity with which work 
can be executed; in that respect it has no equal. 
4, The littl epower required to propel them, enabling even 
those of the most delicate constitution to use them without 
injury to their health. 
We are now manufacturing a larger sized Machine, more 
particularly adapted to the sewing of leather, canvass bags, 
and the heavier kinds of cloths. .... 
An examination of our Machines is respectfully solicited 
at our Office. 343 Broadway. _ 37-49.
