Self-raking 1 
Reaper, 
Champion! King! Sweepstakes! 
And many other like,encomiums have been enthusiastically 
awarded this .Reaper, the past few years, for meritorious 
work. 
It is the only reaper that will, save the entire crop when 
badly tangled and lodged and it has the only Original De¬ 
vice that is of practical worth for Reeling and Raking grain. 
Wo make them to cut a 5 or 6-feet swath, the draft of which 
is about the same as that of a 4-feet cut light mower. 15 
acres is an ordinary day’s work. 21 acres were cut with ail 
ordinary pair of horses between sunrise and sunset with a 
6-feet cut; it is so simple in its construction, that any boy or 
ordinary field-hand can work it to its full capacity ; or it may 
be worked automatically, as preferred.

To tlie No. 4 is attached for reaping, either a Dropper or a 
Self-Rake, and the change is so easily made that not over 
five or ten minutes’ time is required, and.only two pins and 
two nuts have to lie removed and replaced. As a Reaper 
the Clipper cuts 514 l'edt in width, and the hight of cut 
ranges from three to eighteen inches, and can be quickly 
and easily regulated. It is perfectly balanced, leaving no 
weight on the necks of the team. 
Its EXTRAORDINARY LIGHTNESS of,draft takes one- 
tliird of the labor off the team. The adjustability of the 
finger-bar to cut high or low, without stopping the team, is 
worth $23 on any machine. It is the only Mower that has 
the true center draft, in accordance with correctjmechanical 
principles. In short, it is the lightest, the most durable, the 
least complicated, tbe most perfectly constructed, and the 
most symmetrical in design of any implement of its class. 
Farmers, the Clipper is the Horses’ Friend, and you 
cannot afford to ignore their welfare. Send for pamphlet. 
Investigate, see or write to some one who lias used the 
Clipper.- See the machine yorirself before you buy any other.

We have erected new' works for the manufacture of these 
goods;and now hope to,avoid the-disappointments experi¬ 
enced by ohr customers, in not being' able to supply tbe 
rapid increased demand. And as to their merits, we can 
produce evidence that they are superior to any tiling in tho 
market, which fact our Horse Hay-Fork aud Fixtures have, 
established at 22 Staffe Fairs, where, in 15 months, they 
were awarded' 37 First. Premiums, and upward of 600 First 
Premiums at County Fairs. All the Premiums awarded at 
State Fairs were from actual test of goods. These facts are 
not equaled in the history of Agricultural Implements.
