THE . MOST PERFECT MACHINE YET INVENTED. 
HPHIS 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: n i 
1st. In perfectly cutting any kind of grass, whether fine or coarse, lodged or standing, and Salt Meadows as well as upianu. 
2d. Owing to the form of the knife and its rasp potent, 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 wit h no jerking 
motion, in consequence of the knife being operated by a wheel instead of a crank. The knife can be taken oft 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. I his enaoies 
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. " . 
6 th. 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.

A 
TKTN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER and 
MOWER.—Three seasons’ use of this ingenious, beauti¬ 
ful, and yet simple Machine, furnish convincing proof of pi act i- 
cal worth. THREE HUNDRED, scattered into 19 different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all givinggood satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but. also simple and 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the grain in 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, $30. 
Discount on the Reaper, $15, and on Mowing Bar, $5, for cash in 
advance, or on delivery. Price of Mower, $120.

FARMERS AND GARDENERS WHO 
JL can not get manure enough, will find a cheap and powerful 
substitute in the IMPROVED POUDRETTE madefy the sub¬ 
scribers. The small quantity used, the ease with which it is 
applied, and the powerful stimulus it gives to vegetation, ren¬ 
ders it the cheapest and best manure in the world. It causes 
plants to come up quicker, to grow faster, to yield "heavier and 
ripen earlier than any other manure in the world, and unlike 
other fertilizers, it can be brought in direct contact with the 
plant. Three dollars’ worth is sufficient to manure an acre of 
corn. Price, delivered free of cartage or package on board of 
vessel or railroad in New-York city, $1 50 per barrel, for any 
quantity over six barrels. 1 barrel, $2; 2barrels, $3 50; 3 bar¬ 
rels, $5 00; 5 barrels. S 8 00 A pamphlet with information and 
directions will be sent gratis and post-paid, to any one applying 
for the same.
