k? 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. 
I am making them for the coming season, when desired with 
a hoist for prising the finger 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, is prepared to speak of its performance 
wiih the highest approbation. It was drawn by a pair of light 
horses with apparent ease, cutting a wide swarth perfectly clean, 
whether th«» grass were standing or badly lodged, and leaving it 
spread in the best 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 or 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 tiny 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.

Delano’s Independent 'ffootla May 
and Grain Make. 
This Rake has given universal satisfaction wherever it has 
been introduced. The ease and facility with which the hay 
may be placed in windrows, or bunched or cocked preparatory 
to loading, with entire freedom from dust: its superiority as a 
gleaner; the adaptation of the teeth to all surfaces, however ir¬ 
regular, are qualities which commend the Delano Rake, and 
must ultimately bring it iifto exclusive use ; in short, it is as 
greatly superior to the revolver or any oiher, as the revolver 
was, when first introduced, to the hand rake. We know of 
farmers who harvest their entire crop of hay by the use of the 
Delano Rake and the fork alone—no hand rake being needed 
in the field. 
Price with wheels complete $25. 
SELF ADJUSTING HAY ELEVATOR OR HOIST¬ 
ING FORK. 
By the use of this simple and low priced apparatus, a two- 
horse wagon-load may be unloaded and deposited in the mow, 
just where it isneeded, within ten minutes ; and if unusual ex¬ 
ertion be made, to avoid a threatened storm, in half that time, 
the workmen being fresh and ready for re-loading. 
Those manufactured by us are of improved construction. We 
also manufacture the Anti-Friction Blocks, to accompany the 
Forks. As these blocks cannot take fire, they are therefore 
cheaper than the common low-priced blocks. 
Price of Hav Elevator $8. Anti-Friction Blocks, per set $5.

workmanship and material, and are offered to them on terms 
accommodating and suite*! to the times. With each machine

gersoll’s Improved Portable Kay and Cotton Press, 
combines greater power and portability, requires less labor, oc¬ 
cupies less space, and costs less money than any other hand pow¬ 
er machine for baling* Hay on Cotton ever offered to the pub¬ 
lic. It has recently been much improved, and is warranted to 
give satisfaction. 
We have numerous letters from those who have sr en and used 
these presses during the past season, similar to the followin' 
from wm. Thompson. Esq., South Londondary, Vt., who writes 
Feb. 8, 1858, as follows : 
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.” 
No. 1 Press—Weight of Bale 150 to 200 pounds. 
No. 2 Press— “ “ 250 to 300 “

Potato Digger. 
This is a new and highly improved Implement, got up by my¬ 
self, after long experience of working it in the field. It is by far 
the best thing of the kind in use. One man ami a pair of horses 
•vill dig faster than twenty men can pick up. It throws all the 
potatoes, (even the smallest), clean out of the ground, and 
leaves them clear of dirt on the surface. R. L. ALLEN,

ask a trialto satisfy the most skeptical of its advantages over 
he common hoe either in the field or garden, and believing the 
ollowiug testimonial in its favor, among many others received, 
s more satisfactory to the public than anything we can say in 
ts praise; we will leave it with the public tojudge of itsmerits 
„ Boston May 13, 1858. 
H. A. Lothrop, Esq.—My Dear Sir 1 am so much pleased 
with your Patent Hoe that lean not refrain from expressing my 
great satisfaction in the.r use. They are a decided improve¬ 
ment over any similar implement I have ever met with, leaving 
the ground light and level and accomplishing much more than 
the common iioe with tlie same application of power. I think a 
trial of a few moments will satisfy any one of the correctness of 
these opinions. 
I shall use no oll^r hoe on mv grounds, and I would thank 
you to send me, by express, half a dozen of each size, with bill 
of the same. Yours respectfully,

Cutter aunt lassproved Plow. 
Patented February 16, 1858. A recent, and one of the greatest 
improvements in plows ever invented, particularly adapted for 
breaking up OLD GROUND SOD, and PRAI HIE lands, giv¬ 
ing one Hurd more breadth of work for the same team and 
draught, and in the same lime, that is to say, a Plow that, as at 
present constructed, will turn TWELVE inches, will, with 
this Landside attachment, cut and turn SIXTEEN inches, 
with less labor for the man and without any more strain upon 
the team. 
Western men are particularly invited to call and see this 
great, yet simple improvement which can be adapted to any sod- 
breaking Plow now in use. Thus an EIGHTEEN inch West¬ 
ern Prairie Breaker can he made to cut and turn a TWENTY- 
FOUR furrow-slice without any addition to the I earn. Larger 
or smaller plows work in tile same ratio.
