‘Make hay while the Sun shines"

"showery” that you will need the 
best possible haying machinery 
, for saving the crop promptly. 
Here’s a combination of world beaters 
OSBORNE MOWERS 
OSBORNE TEDDERS 
OSBORNE RAKES 
The Mowers are one and two horse. They 
cut from 3k : to 6 feet in width. They have 
the Famous Osborne Knife. The 
gear is simple, powerful, positive. Best 
forged steel pitman—works in a straight 
line. The Cutter Baris drawn, not pushed. 
They are the best that skill and long exper¬ 
ience can produce. 
The Tedder is all steel * is driven from 
the center. Has a continuous shaft which 
holdsthe forks in relative positions to each 
other and totally obviatesthe jerky motion 
so characteristic of other tedders. Runs 
smooth. Light draft. It is just what we 
have tried to make it— The Best. 
The Rakes are both seif and hand 
dump;8 and lOfeet in size, All composed 
of steel and iron except shaft. Have pole 
tips—and an easy change makes a two- 
horse rake. Have 20 spoke, double hub 
bicycle wheels. Anew appliance that pre¬ 
vents “rolling.”

IHE SYRACUSE 
Made formerly by D. S. Morgan & Co., Brock- 
port, N. Y. and recently purchased by us, Is one 
of the greatest labor-saving tools ever invented 
for use in culture of grapes and berries, and es¬ 
pecially adapted for vineyard work. After 
cultivating between the rows, the grape hoe 
will take out all grass and weeds that remain 
under the wires and around vines and posts, 
and will thoroughly stir the soil close to the 
vines. The Hoe is guided in and out around 
post and vine by the Disc Castor Wheel, to 
which the handle is attached. The horse is 
hitched to one side of the pole, with plenty of 
room for hoe to work under the vines or 
bushes, and without injury to them from horse 
or whiffletree. Tliesavingin timeand labor will 
soon pay the cost of this tool. We can refer 
to some of the most successful grape and berry 
growers in the country. 
Write for further Information, and Cata¬ 
logue R, of all our implements. 
Patented April 2, 1895. A cheap, sure aud bimple way to transplant all kinds of

giving testimonials, directions how to use, and other valuable information, especially 
to strawberry growers. Price, per set of six transplanters, one excavator and one
