Ketchum’s Patent Mowing Machine. 
Howard & Co., Proprietors and Manufacturers, 
Buffalo , N. Y. 
rpHIS justly celebrated machine has been steadily advanc- 
JL ing in public favor, for its simplicity, durability and effi¬ 
ciency—and it has settled the question beyond a doubt that 
grass can be cut by Horse Power: for, during last season, 
Five Hundred of these Machines were sold by us, and uni¬ 
versally approved by those who used them. Farmers were 
daily in the habit-of cutting from ten to fifteen acres per day, 
with ordinary driving. It leaves the grass uniformly' spread 
over the groun'd, requiring no turning to cure properly. In 
the Report of the Committee who served at the Trial of 
Mowing and Reaping Machines, held at Geneva in July last, 
they show fully and conclusively this to have been the only 
Machine in the field which cut its allotted two acres, without 
clogging or any interruption , doing its work admirably, and 
in far better manner than can be done by manual labor with 
a scythe. Our knives are not sickle edged , consequently do 
not clog at every little hummock or bog they may happen to 
come in contact with. The Committee also show that there 
is an actual saving, by the use of this Machine over hand la¬ 
bor, of thirteen dollars per day. We4iave only to ask those 
who want a perfect Mowing Machine to examine the Repor- 
and judge for themselves. This Machine took the first pre¬ 
mium as a mower, at the trial in Springfield. Ohio; a gold 
medal.at the Fair of the American Institute, N. Y., also, first 
premium at the Provincial Fair, at Toronto, C. W. 
They are so very compact that one of them can be easily 
carried in an ordinary one-horse wagon, and so very simple 
that it requires no machinist to put it together, as there are 
but two bolts (besidethe pole bolts) to be secured to have the 
machine ready for use, and which does not require over ten 
minutes time. They weigh about 750 lbs., and can be worked 
by any boy who can manage a team. We have made all the 
improvements suggested by experience in the way ofstrength, 
durability, Ac., and sell them under the following 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, heavy or light, wet or dry, and do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers. They 
are equally capable of cutting Barley', Buckwheat, Millet, &c. 
It is much less trouble to keep the knives in order than a 
scythe, as they have frequently been known to cut from ten 
to fifteen acres wilhout sharpening, which can be done on an 
ordinary grind stone in a few minutes. We can give any 
reference required for the full performance of our machine, 
as above stated. 
Orders should be sent in early, as we shall manufacture 
but a limited number. The price of our Machine, including 
two sets of Knives, Extra Knife Blades, Wrench, Ac., is 
$110, cash, in Buffalo, the machine to be delivered on board 
of boat or cars free of charge.
