AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST,

Improved Pateat Hay Tedder. 
This Machine is Intended to follow the Mower, wliich 
leaves the grass evenly distributed over the surface of tiie 
ground ; a non-conducting layer exposed to tlie acorcliing 
ravsofthe sun on the upper side, and if left nndisturbed, 
wiil remain wet underneath till evening. Tlie labor of turn¬ 
ing this properly, is even greater tlian sliakijig out tlie 
Bw'atlis when grass has been cut with tlie scytlie. 
This Machine tosses up the grass liglitiv, leaving its fibres 
crossed in every direction and in tlie best condition to he 
evenly and quickly dried by tlie circulation of the air. In 
this mode only, can tlie nutritive ingredients of the grass, 
the sugar, starch, &c„ be preserved; and what Is almost of 
as much importance, in this way alone can be retained the 
sweetness and the fragrance of the liay, that makes it more 
palatable to the animal. 
Another .advantage in the use of this machine is, that it 
does the work so quickly, that tlie process of turning can be 
several times repeated, and tlie curing can by tliis means be 
BO hastened in any good hay day, as to allow the hay to be 
taken to the barn in the best condition, tlie same day it is 
cut. This sliortening of the process of hay making, enables 
the farmer to secure his hay when it is nearest ripe for the 
harvest, and much diminishes the risk of its injury from bad 
weather. 
It is claimed that this machine will pay for itself in a sin¬ 
gle year, on any farm producing 50 tons of hay. 
Certificates and Testimonials have been recei ved from many 
large farmers and intelligent agriculturists who have used 
the Hay Tedder, and all practical farmers agree that this 
Invention is a success, and next to the Jlower, the most use¬ 
ful machine in the hay field, and every larmer who cuts hay 
enough to justify his purchasing a Mower, cannot well afi'ord 
to dispense witli the use of the hay maker. 
This hlachine is suflieientlv well known to make it unnec¬ 
essary to publish teslimoni.als of its merits, as is the custom 
for similar implements. It is no longer an experiment to the 
purchaser, as it has proved a success. It will, with the aid 
of a boy and liorse, do the work of eight or ten men, and do 
it better than if done by hand, and is recommended to all 
farmers as a labor saving Hay Improving Machine. 
I hope, to be able to meet tlie demand for the next harvest, 
and shall use my best exertions to do so. Orders will be re¬ 
corded in turn, and machines furnished to the extent of my 
ability.
