K irb y’s Patent. 
rpHE subscribers are sole agents for this vicinity, for 
JL this celebrated machine, which was awarded a Silver 
Medal at the great National Trial at Syracuse , in July , 1857, 
by the United States Agricultural Society. It is certainly the 
cheapest and easiest draft machine now made, weighing 
only 600 pounds and costing oniy $100. The most impor¬ 
tant part of the machine is the independent action of knife 
bar , which adapts itself to the uneven surface of the field, 
whether it be ridge or furrow. We have numerous re¬ 
commendations noting the superiority of this machine 
over all others, and would respectfully solicit the attention 
of the farmers to this machine, before purchasing. It is 
also the best Reaper in the world, as well as the simplest. 
A Descriptive Pamphlet, with numerous recommenda¬ 
tions, will be forwarded by addressing the subscribers.

Combined Harvester for 1858, 
"Witlx a, Reel! 
T HE improvements on this cel ebrated Machine lor 1858 
will render it the most desirable machine ever offered 
to the public. Among these improvements are the follow¬ 
ing :— 
1st. An expanding Reel, very simple, and ingeniously 
arranged so as to be readily attached, and is propelled by 
the main shaft. 
2d. A new, strong and well-braced guard, which will not 
clog. 
3d. An adjustable Roller with a lever, by which the dri¬ 
ver, while in his seat, can elevate the finger-bar and hold 
it in any desired position, for transportation, to pass over 
obstructions, and to aid in backing or turning corners. 
4th. A Roller in the outer shoe, on which the finger-bar 
rests, which obviates all side draft and very much lessens 
the direct draft 
The simple mowers have wrought-iron frames, with all 
of the other improvements except a Reel. With these 
improvements the draft of the Ketchum Machine is as 
light as any machine known, and by the test with the Dy- 
nanometer at Syracuse, by the U. S. Ag. Society last July, 
the draft of the Reaper was more than one-quarter less 
than any other of the 13 Reapers on trial. This result is 
obtained by enlarging the main wheel for Reaping, which 
lessens the motion of the knives and the actual draft of 
the machine fully one-quarter. 
The very best material is used throughout, and no 
pains or money are spared to make the Ketchum Ma¬ 
chine what the farmer needs 
Sample machines can be seen at all the principal places, 
and persons are invited to examine them before buying 
any other—remembering that the best is always the 
cheapest. R. L. HOWARD,

I T is with much pleasure and renewed confidence, that 
I offer my machine to the Farmers for the coming har¬ 
vest, with all its improvements and increased high reputa¬ 
tion as a combined Machine and single Mower. The large 
sale the past season, and great success at the National 
Trial of Harvest Implements at Syracuse in July last, 
where it was awarded one Gold and two Silver Medals, is 
conclusive to every unprejudiced farmer that it is the most 
approved machine of the kind in use, and the subscriber 
begs to say that they will be perfect and complete in work¬ 
manship and material, and are offered to them on terms 
accommodating and suited to the times. With each ma¬ 
chine will be furnished two scythes, two extra guards, two 
extra sections, one extra pinion, and wrench. 
Warranted capable of cutting from 10 to 15 acres of 
grass or grain per day, in a workmanlike manner. 
Price of Machines as heretofore The Combined Ma¬ 
chine varies in priee according to width of cut and its 
adaptation in size and strength to different sections of the 
country, from $125 to $150, delivered here on the cars.
