ALLEN'S PATENT MOWER, 
THE MOST PERFECT MACHINE YET INVENTED. 
T HIS MACHINE was patented in 1852, and has been used by a large number of intel- 
ligent farmers for two seasons; and so superior has it proved itself over all others, that it is now greatly preferred wherever 
known. 
This superiority consists: 
1st. In perfectly cutting any kind of grass, whether fine or coarse, lodged or standing, and Salt Meadows as well as upland. 
2d. Owing to the form of the knife and its rasp patent, it does not clog even in the finest grass. 
3d. The gearing being hung on horizontal shafts and justly balanced, enables the mower to run perfectly true in a straight or 
curbed line and with one-third less draught than any other yet made. It also runs with much less noise, and with no jerking 
motion, in consequence of the knife being operated by a wheel instead of a crank. The knife can be taken off or put on in a moment, 
without the necessity of passing it through the arms of the driving-wheel. This is a very great convenience, and obviates a seri¬ 
ous objection to Mowing Machines. 
4th. The superior gearing enables the knife to play with sufficient rapidity to do its work well, at a speed of not over two and a 
half to three miles per hour. Most other Mowers require the team to walk at the rate of four miles per hour, which is very dis¬ 
tressing to the horses. 
5th. A smaller wheel is attached to this Mower, by a spring axle, which runs parallel with the driving-wheel. This enables 
the machine when thrown out of gear, to be driven over the field or along the road as readily as if hung on a pair of wagon- 
wheels. 
6th. A reaping-board can be attached when required, thus making it a Reaper or Mower, as desired. 
7th. This Mower is made in the most perfect manner, and is guaranteed to give satisfaction.

ISP Agents are solicited to sell the above machine. 
A TKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER and 
^ MOWER—Three seasons’ use of this ingenious, beauti¬ 
ful, and yet simple Machine, furnish convincing proof of piacti- 
cal worth. THREE HUNDRED, scattered into 19 different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but. also simple ana 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the gram iu such good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding. 
IT IS WARRANTED TO BE A GOOD, DURABLE, 
SELF-RAKING REAPER, and I have also succeeded in at¬ 
taching a mowing bar, so that I also WARRANT IT AS A 
MOWER. 
Price at Chicago, of Reapers, $170; of Mowing Bar, S30.

advance, or on delivery. Price of Mower, $120.

1MTULES FOR SALE. 
keeDs constantly on hand 400 1 
The subscriber 
keeps constantly on hand 400 to 500 MULES, of all sizes. 
Among these are some of the choicest animals in the United 
States ; 16 hands and over in height, and well proportioned. 
Mules are almost the only working animals used in portions of 
the Southern States, the West Indialslands, and Spanish posses¬ 
sions, where severe work and hard usage are allotted them, and 
under which horses would soon die. An equal advantage would 
follow their introduction among farmers and others, in the 
northern States. They are not only much hardier than horses, 
but they will draw more in proportion to their weight; will en¬ 
dure a great deal more; live twice as long, and eat less; and the 
only dressing or currying they need, is a soft place to rollvon 
They are gentle, tractable, and easily managed; and nobody wh 
has ever tried them will ever give them up for horses or oxen.
