KetcTium’s Improved Mowing Machine* 
WITH ENTIRE CHANGE OF GEAR, 
The only Successf ul Mower now lenown. 
K ETCHUM’S IMPROVED MACHINE, which we are 
building for the harvest of ’54, was thoroughly tested 
last season, and the advantages gained by our change of Gear 
are in all respects aS we designed, viz: durability , conveni¬ 
ence and ease of action. The shafts now have bearings at 
both ends, which overcomes all cramping and cutting away 
of boxing. A counter balance is attached to the crank shaft, 
which gives it a steady and uniform motion. Each Machine 
can be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in get¬ 
ting at each and every nut, all of them being on upper side 
of the frame ; oil cups are attached to all the bearings, which, 
by the use of a wad of cotton, will hold oil for a long time, as 
well as protect the bearings from dust, grit, Ac.; the finger 
bar is lined with iron its full width, which protects it from 
wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
Ac., makes it the most simple and perfect agricultural imple¬ 
ment in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and can ea¬ 
sily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for opera¬ 
tion, there being but two bolts, (besides the pole bolts.) to be 
secured, to have one ready for use. They will cut all kinds 
of grass, and operate well on uneven or rolling lands, or 
where there are dead furrows. This Machine took the high¬ 
est award, with special approbation , at the World’s Fair; it 
also received, during last season, one silver and four gold 
medals, and various other flattering and substantial testimo¬ 
nials of approval. We have spared neither pains nor money 
to make this Machine deserving of public favor, and hope to 
be able the coming season to supply the great and increasing 
demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers, if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they incur loss, vexation and disappointment. 
If any parts are wanted to repair any Machine we have 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will be furnished and < only 
manufacturer’s cost for the same be charged. 
In all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. 
Warranty: —That said Machines are capable of cutting and 
spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten to 
fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as well as 
is done with a scythe by the best of mowers. 
The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and ex¬ 
tras, is $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on board of boat or 
cars free of charge.

Bangstroth’s Movable Comb Bee Hive. 
T3ATENTED Oct. 5th, 1852.—Each Comb in the Hive is 
JL . attached to a separate movable frame, and in less than 
five minutes they may be all taken out, without cutting or 
injuring them, or at all enraging the bees. Weak stocks 
may be quickly strengthened by helping them to honey and 
maturing brood from stronger ones. 
Queeuless colonies may be rescued from certain ruin by 
supplying them with the means of obtaining another queen; 
and the ravages of the moth effectually prevented, as at any 
time the hive may be readily examined, and all worms, Ac., 
removed from the coinbs. New colonies may be formed in 
less time than is usually required to hive a natural swarm, 
or the hive may be used as a non-swarmer, or managed on 
the common swarming plan. 
The surplus honey may be taken from the interior of the 
hive on the frames or in upper boxes or glasses in the most 
convenient, beautiful and saleable forms. Colonies may be 
safely transferred from any other hive to this, at any season 
of the year, from April to October, as the brood, combs, 
honey and all the contents of the hive are transferred with 
them, and securely fastened in the frames. 
We are now prepared to sell state, town, county and indi¬ 
vidual rights, to make, vend and use these hives on reasonable 
terms. Tne price for individual rights, which will entitle the 
purchaser to make the hive for his own use, is five dollars. 
We can also furnish hives to all who wish. Price from two 
to five dollars. Upon the receipt of nine dollars we will send 
the right, together with a beautiful hive, with glass on' four 
sides, showing all the combs. For ten dollars the right and 
a well made hive which will accommodate two swarms with 
glass on the back side only. For seven dollars the right and 
a well made hive Without glass, which any one can make 
who <£311 use the simplest tools. 
Agents wanted for the sale of the above rights. To those 
who can furnish good testimonials of character, qualifications 
and responsibilit) r , a liberal commission will be paid. 
All communications addressed to J. Beals,. Greenfield , 
Mass., Moll meet with prompt attention. 
For one dollar, postage paid, Langstroth’s book entitled the 
Hive and Honey Bee, will be sent free by mail.
