BUKRALL’S NEW ADJUSTABLE MOWER AND 
REAPER. 
It is known 1o the public that I have, for mnnv year*, been 
making improvements on various farm implements, and I may 
safely claim to have learned something from experience. 
Ever sim e the exhibition of machines before the IJ S. Agri¬ 
cultural Society at Syracuse, (it could not be called a trial, but 
more properly a race.) I have neen busilv engaged in re-model¬ 
ing and perfecting my Mower; and to do this uudersi and i ugly. 
1 have carefully examined the construction and operation oi ail 
the best machines in ihe market. I have studied and compared 
their various parts and working qualifies many of them excel¬ 
lent in some respec’s, but all deficient in others. 
To produce a machine comprising all the requisites for perfect 
work, in the simplest form, has been mv aim; and it is a trite re¬ 
-mark that tlie easiest way to do athing well, is the las' found 
out. I think the Mower i'Ow offered to the public an illustra¬ 
tion of the fact, and will be found on trial 
THE BEST IN THE WORLD, 
unequaled in compact ness, strength and efleoiive power It is 
all of iron is single geared, the draft very 1 ghf.ihe cm per ect— 
guards strong and ea ily taken off for grinding and replaced j a 
fewminmes. It works well 'll rough ground and discha'ges 
the grain in therear or at the side ; runs on a large caster wheel 
in front—has a loose pole and no bearing on Urn In r>es- it has a 
nicelv adjus ed counterpoise and balance wheel and is thrown 
our, of gear at, pleasure. Ir has. in short all the best points of the 
best machines in use in the simplest fo*m and m addition to 
these, one recent improvement, found in no oiher. by wliich the 
driver can raise the finger bar to iis full hight m an instant, for 
carrying a sv* nth or travel on rou^h ground bv a touch of h s 
hand wit hour leaving his seat or stopping his team ! Nothing 
can surpass this beautiful movement, nor can its value be duly 
apprec ated ; ill seen in operation. 
These Machines are'horoughly built, and Warranted in ma¬ 
terial and workmans!! p. Made and sold at Geneva. Ontario 
County, N Y . (1858) by THOMAS D. BURRALL. 
Contracts forbuilding these Machines in the several States, 
reserving a premium on each, are offered for sale. Of all my 
numerous improvements on farm implen»en’s during the forty 
years in which I have been employed in making them. I d^em 
this last mv most valuable eontribu'ion to the farming interest. 
KETCHUM’S 
Combined Harvester for 185§, 
Without any Frame, and with a Reel! 
THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THIS CELERRATED MA- 
CHINE for 1858, will render it the most desirable machine 
ever offered to the public. Among these improvements are the 
following : 
1st—An expanding Reel, very simple, and ingeniously arrang¬ 
ed so as to be readily attached, and is propeded by the main 
shaft. 
2d—A new, strongand well-braced guard, which will not clog. 
3d—An adjustable Roller with a lever, by which the driver, 
while in his scat, can elevate the finger-bar. and hold it in any 
desired position for transportation, to passover obstructions, 
and to aid in backing or turning corners. 
4th—A Roller in the out> r shoe, on which the finge r -l>ar rests, 
which obviates all side draft and very much lessens the di ect 
dra't. 
The simple mowers ha-e wrougbt-iron frames, with all of 
the other lmioovements except, a Reel. With these improve¬ 
ment the draft of the Ketchum Machine is as light as anv ma¬ 
chine knowm. and by the test with the Dynamometer at Svta- 
cuse. by the U. S. Ag. Society last July, the draft of the Reaper 
was n.ore than one-quarter less than nv other of the 13 Reap¬ 
ers on trial. This resu’t is ob'ained by enlarging the main 
wheel for Reaping, which lessens the motion of the knives and 
the actual draft of 'he machine fully one-qunr'er. 
The very best material is used throughout, and no pains or 
money are spared to make the Ketchum Machine what the 
farmer needs. 
Sample machines can be seen at all the princ : pal places, and 
persons are invited to examine them before buying any other— 
remembering that the best is always the cheapest.

T his preparation, one of the 
most important discoveries of the age, is a highly nitro- 
genized Superphosphate of Lime, with Sulphate and Phosphale 
of Ammonia, Prepared Blood and Animal Fibre, being the most 
Concentrated Fertilizer yet offered to the Public. 
It. is adapted to every Soil, Climate and C”op. The advan¬ 
tages it holds over Peruvian Guano, and the various Artificial 
Manures that, are in Market, is the fixed state of the Amnioni- 
neal Salts, and the large quantity of niirogenized matter, 
yielding Ammonia, all being in such a sia'e as to come into 
action as it. is required by the growing plant, and not wasted in 
the atmosphere, like the easily decomposed Guano or Super¬ 
phosphate preparations mixed wi'h Vo atile Salts of Ammonia. 
The proportion of Phosphate which this Fertilizer contains, 
is ample to supply the deficien y or absence of those necessary 
substances winch are evidently withdraw n from the soil by the 
growth of vegetation. 
Ii^offering this valuable Fer’ilizer to the public. T would 
state ihat I have arranged for all ihe dead Ariima's, Blood and
