STRONG AND DURABLE.—LIGHT OF 
^draft to the team. Will cut all kinds of grass better than it 
can be done with a scythe—leaving it spread—so as to save la¬ 
bor of spreading it. It can be worked at a slow or fast gait and 
by oxen if desired. It is easily managed and safe to the driver. 
All we claim for it is admitted by those who use it and it has 
received their universal approbation. 
Iam making them for the coming season, when desired with 
a hoist for raising the linger board, a very simple and efficient 
addition, and can also furnish when desired a very simple 
Reaping attachment—which does not at all affect its simplicity 
or efficiency as a mower. R. L. ALLEN, 191 Water-st. 
Mr. R. L. Allen, New-York :—The subscriber having seen 
Allen’s Patent Mowing Machine in use, both in heavy and' light 
grass, of different sorts, ispreparedto speak of its performance 
wiih the highest approbation. It was drawn by a pair of light 
horses with apparent ease, cull ing a wide swarth perfectly clean, 
whether th* grass were standing or badly lodged, and leaving it 
spread in the b^st possible manner: This was done during and 
immediately after a heavy shower, and without any clogging of 
the knives. 
Marshall P. Wilder, 
President of the U. S. Agricultural Society. 
I used one of your Mowers in cutting my entire crop this sea¬ 
son; then sold it, and it afterward cut the crops of three other 
farmers, each of whom bought it. One man paid $140 for it. 
The whole cost of repairs for the season was not one dollar. 
Another neighbor cut 240 acres with it at no expense for repairs 
of any consequence. We all consider it in this neighborhood as 
the only satisfactory machine ever used here. 
James E. Dunlap. 
Jacksonville,Morgan Co., Ill., Dec. 1857. 
We cut our entire crop of grass with your Allen Mower this 
season, and then sold it for $240. It is now in constant use and 
gives full satisfaction. It is daily running in such grass and 
clover as used to be considered impossible to be cut by machines.

Gents : “ I think your press, -with the improvement you have 
made recently, will exceed anything of the kind yet got up, for 
it will press more in a day, with only two hands to work it, and 
do it easier, than any other press in New-England.”
