INTRODUCTORY REMARKS 
 
 I have much pleasure in presenting to my valued connexion an 
 entirely new and enlarged edition of my Catalogue of Machinery, 
 extensively illustrated with a new series of Wood-cuts, which, I trust, 
 will prove serviceable to them in making a selection of such Machinery 
 and Implements as they may require. 
 
 In the manufacture of the various articles described in this Catalogue, 
 I respectfully re(iuest that it may be borne in mind that I rest my claim for 
 notice on the intrinsic excellence of my Implements and Machines in 
 workmanship as well as in principle. It will bo my aim, not only to 
 maintain the high standard of excellence which has hitherto characterized 
 my manufactures and given them their high reputation with consumers, 
 but to make every resource available for their improvement. 
 
 I have much pleasure in calling your attention to the improvements 
 and additions made to my machines since my last issue, Avhich will greatly 
 enliance their value and efficiency. 
 
 In the class of Horse-Power Threshing Machines I occupy the 
 first position, holding patents and licenses that enable me to manufacture 
 and offer for sale to the pulJic a Threshing Machine that stands unequalled 
 in Canada, with Machinery of the most approved description ; and 
 twenty-five years' experience in the manufacture of Threshing Machines 
 enables mo to carry into effect the motto, " Practice with Science," so 
 that of late years my Patent Improved Threshing Machines have stood 
 unapproachable in their excellence. They have now won their way by 
 their intrinsic value, and are recognized throughout Canada as unrivalled 
 in their Simplicity, Excellence of Workmanship, Ease of Draught and 
 Durability, and have attained the well merited and fairly earned 
 reputation of the most perfect Threshing Machines in use. They have 
 for years past maintained their acknowledged position as the standard 
 machines of the day ; and every modern improvement and appliance of 
 mechanical skill is employed to keep them in advance of all competition. 
 
 I beg an inspection of my Machines, feeling confident they are of a 
 character to show that I do not wait to copy or follow in the track of 
 others, but constantly and successfully aim at standing in the very first 
 rank of producers. The constantly increasing demand for my Threshing 
 
4 WOODFyRIDGE AGRICULTURAL WORKS, 
 
 Macliines i>s a striking proof of their great value, and tlicir success has 
 callf'd forth a nunihcr of imitations ; hut at every exhil)ition for the last 
 tw(;lve years -vhere tliey have heen brought into competition with other 
 machines, they have invarialjly been pronounced by impartial judges 
 superior to all opponents, and have never failed to carry off the Highest 
 Prize. 
 
 ]>(.'ing unable to meet the demands for my Imi)lements and Machines 
 last year, I have again enlarged my premises, and added New Machinery 
 of the most approved kind, which warrants mo in asserting that the 
 facilities I now possess enables mo to offer my production as the vert 
 FIU8T OP THEIR KIND ; and this is borne out l)y the many p/izes awarded 
 me when in competition with all the principal makers in Canada. 
 
 I invite attention to my new Patent Portable Steam Engine. 
 This is in fact the first successful Portable Engine yet introduced in 
 Canada. To obtain the highest amount of power with the smallest 
 quantity of fuel, is a most important point to be aimed at in the 
 manufacture of a portable engine. This object I have kept in view, and 
 it will be found in practice that my engines are both thoroughly efficient 
 *in working power and economical in the consumption of fuel. 
 
 It will be found on perusal that I have added a number of new 
 machines to my already large stock. 
 
 I have also made arrangements with Mr. Cole, the Patentee, for the 
 manufacture of his New Patent Improved Sampson Turbine Water 
 Wheel. Tliis Wheel will be found the most Economical Water Wheel 
 made. 
 
 The Works are situated on the line of the Toronto, Grey & Bruce 
 Eailway, within five minutes' walk of the station. The Montreal , 
 Telegraph Company and the Express Company both have offices here, in 
 the Works, so that every facility for speedy communication is offered 
 to the Public. 
 
 Thankful for past favors, I respectfully solicit a continuance and 
 extension of the liberal patronage heretofore given me, being confident of 
 my ability to give entire satisfaction,

 DESIQN REQISTHRED. 
 For Elegance of Proportion, Simplicity of Construction, Superior 
 Workmanship, Economy, Power and Durability, I challenge comparison 
 with any other Portable Engine made. 
 
 They are constructed with enlarged Fire Boxes, and Chinmies fur- 
 nished with Spark Arresters. 
 
 The mato:^ial and workmanship used in their construction through- 
 out arc of the veuy first class. 
 
 Unusually large allowance of Power 
 
 In Cylinder area, 
 
 Boiler capacity, 
 
 Extra strength in the wearing parts. 
 
 Judson's Patent Governor, most sensitive in action, ensuring perfect 
 regularity of speed. 
 
 The Water Heating Apparatus used is of the Tubular description, 
 which, with the aid of waste heat from the boiler and the exhaust steam, 
 heats the water from 175 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby causing a 
 much more rapid generation of steam, with a diminished consumption 
 of fuel, than when cold water is pumped into the boiler. 
 
 The Boiler is furnished with a round-bottom Fire Box, which entirely 
 surrounds the fire-grate and ash-pit, forming underneath the ash-pit, as up 
 the sides, a three-inch water space, by which additional heating surface is 
 obtained. The accumulation of sediment around the fire-box is thus 
 entirely prevented, and perfect safety to the ftvrm yard, barns or other 
 premises, is at once secured, as sparks cannot possibly blow out of the 
 fire-box. The ash-pit door also forms a perfect damper, whereby the 
 draught may be regulated to the greatest nicety. 
 
 The sediment has free passage to the bottom of the fire-box, and can 
 be blown off by the blow-oif cock, underneath the ash-pit, by which 
 means the boiler may be kept clean much longer than under the old 
 system. 
 
 Every Boiler and Engine is thoroughly tested both by Hydraulic and 
 Steam pressure before leaving the works, which proves that they are 
 perfectly tight and safe. 
 
 The above Engines are furnished with Judson's Patent Governor, 
 Glass Water Guage, Safety Valve and Spring Balance, Steam Pressure 
 Gauge, Pump, Blow-off Cock, Oil Can, Monkey Wrench, Funnel for 
 'filling boiler, Firing Irons, Tube Cleaner, and Mud Door. 
 
 If Boiler is covered with Felt, extra cost $50. Prices are subject to 
 change without notice.

 PEOVINCIAL EXHIBITION HELD AT KINGSTON, 1871. 
 
 STEAM THRESHIMG MACHINE. 
 
 In introducing the Steam Throsliing Machine to the ftinners of 
 Canada, T beg to call tlieu- attention to the great advantages it possesses 
 over any Horse Power Machine manufactured. 
 
 The Farmer has no extra horses to hire or feed, and it only requires 
 about half-a-cord of good hardwood and ten barrels of water to run it all 
 day. (Soft water is much the best when it can be obtained.) 
 
 The machine has a much steadier motion, therefore will accomplish 
 much more work, and do it fit for market. It Avill thresli and thoroughly 
 clean Wheat, Barley or Oats, in the most perfect manner. 
 
 Large Threshing Capacity. — The Cylinder used in this Machine 
 is the Twelve-Bar Cylinder, witli teeth ^ each bar (unless otherwise 
 ordered), furnished with steel shaft, and is two inches wider than in the 
 horse-power machines. 
 
 More Cleaning Capacity. — The frame of the iiachine is wider 
 than the Horse-power machine ; also, the Canvas, Belt, Shoe and Riddles,, 
 which gives a larger cleaning capacity. 
 
 Complete Separation op Grain from Straw. — This machine is- 
 fitted with my new Patent Eevolving Grate, which is one of the most 
 usefid and economical inventions ever applied to a Threshing Machine, 
 The perfect manner in which it separates the grain from the straw makes 
 it now au indispensable part of a Threshing machine. It only requiras to 
 be seen to be appreciated. 
 
 Unrivalled Samples Produced by means of my new Patent Barley 
 Scourer and Elevator, which can be attached to this machine if required. 
 The grain receives such brightness as can only be so obtained, and its 
 market value is thereby increased. 
 
 It does not require any unloading, as the machine is mounted on 
 wheels. 
 
 The large " Threshing " and unequalled " Separating" capacity, and 
 " superior " cleaning qualities of this machine, renders it just the thing 
 for rapid steam threshing, while its light draught, causing it to use much 
 less steam, renders it without an equal for economy. 
 
 Tlie Engine is also mounted on wheels, and, if ten-horse power, full 
 capacity, it is made as light as possible compatible with strengtli : it 
 weighs but 4,700 pounds, all complete. It has a plain but handsome- 
 til. i:jh.

 /^y 
 
 It is First-class in Strengtli, Principle, Simplicity and Durability,, 
 and with these leading points kept distinctly in view as light in draught 
 and as economical in consumption of fuel as possible. 
 
 I make the manufacture of Threshing Machines a Speciality, and 
 have now added new and valual)le Improvements (which are Patented} 
 for the coming season. 
 
 This justly celebrated Threshing ^lachine has again been triumphant 
 at the F'rovincial Exhibition held h\ Kingston last year, when in compe- 
 tition with a large number of Threshing Machines, all others had again ta 
 succumb and yield to the superior qualities of the Celebrated Abell 
 Threshing Machine ; and after actual trial on the ground with the Double 
 Cylinder Climax Threshing Machine, although doing their utmost, failed 
 to come up to the mark, and had to yield the palm even before the de- 
 cision of the Judges. The Judges unanimously awarded me the First 
 Prize and Diploma, and acknowledged it did the best work they had 
 ever seen done by any Threshing Machine. 
 
 My new Patent Eevolving Grate at the end of the concave has 
 proved a perfect success, making a complete separation of the grain and 
 straw, besides allowing a much more rapid and easy passage of the straw 
 through the cylinder, aud effectually prevents what is termed choking. 
 It also protects the canvas from wearing so rapidly, and from injury by 
 broken teeth, &c. 
 
 In the construction of these machines great care is taken in the selec- 
 tion of the materials,. and nothing but the best are used. The Cylinder 
 and beater shafts are steel, and the cylinder teeth are made from the cele* 
 brated " Low Moor" or " Norway" Iron. I still continue to make three 
 kinds of cylinders : the ordinary tA'/elve bar cylinder with six rows of 
 teeth in, and a nine bar cylinder with teeth in each bar, also a twelve bar 
 cylinder with teeth in each bar, as parties may wish ; but in the absence 
 of instructions put in either the formei or the latter. 
 
 My Patent Gear, with cut wheelo, covered with a safety protection^ 
 is now the standard gear. It is simple, durable, reliable, and complete ; 
 superior to all others ever invented for driving a threshing machine; its 
 great durability has been thoroughly established, and it is everywhere 
 known and recognized as the standard of excellence in material and 
 workmanship as well as perfection of principle. 
 
 It will be observed by referring to the price list that I have reduced 
 the price of this cclelirated gear to eighteen dollars per set, thus bringing 
 them nearly as cheap as the connnon description. In so doing, however, 
 their high character for material and M'orkmanship is maintained. 
 
 I have made arrang(nnents with the Patentee for the manufiicture of 
 Bigelow's Patent Saf.ty Coupling. This coupling is very durable, sim- 
 
10

 pie, and pcrft.'ctly safe. It does not require so much care in setting the 
 Jiorse power to liave it in line with the sei)arator -witli this coupling, as it 
 will run equally well when set at a slight angle with the separator.

 The grain boxes are filled hy means of a slide, by which one man or 
 boy can attend to them, or the conveyor can be put in when parties wish 
 it ; but in the absence of instructions to the contrary, the machines are 
 always fitted with the slide, except when ordered to run on trucks ; then 
 the conveyor is jiut in. « 
 
 I have invented a simple methoiJ by which the straw carrier can bo 
 driven at any angle required to carry the straw in the mow. This ar- 
 rangement, which has been in use several years, works tidmirably, and 
 has given good satisfaction. It saves a great deal of very dusty, dirty 
 work. The arrangement consists of a cast iron bracket, placed at the back 
 end of the machine, which carries a short shaft running vertically, with 
 two pulleys on with grooves in them. It is very simple, and can be put 
 on any machine in use. 
 
 In purchasng a Threshing ^Machine, the fact should bo kept Avell in 
 view that the best machine will take the best jobs, and not only gives 
 better satisfaction to the farmer, but earns much more money for the 
 thresher. The peculiar construction oi my machine enables it to com- 
 mand the preference wherever known. Its durability, workmanship, 
 completeness, and general excellence, place it beyond all others, and make 
 it the most desirable machine now offered in the market. It combines all 
 the good qualities found in any other machine, together with numerous 
 advantages that arc peculiar to this machine alone, and cannot be found 
 in any other. 
 
 Many valuable improvements added for the 
 
 coming season.

 and it is to meet this class of customers that I am induced to manu- 
 facture them : not that I think they will supercede the machine hereto- 
 fore made by me, but in order to be able to supply every good customer 
 with just the machine he prefers. It is furnished Avith my patent im- 
 proved cut gearing. 
 
 THE NEW TEIPLE GEAR POWER. 
 
 This is comparatively a new power in Canada, as will be seen by the 
 engraving ; it differs materially from the Planet power. All the boxes, 
 shafts, wheels, and pinions, are set in an Iron Frame, thus allowing all 
 the working parts to maintain their proper relative positions. No yield- 
 ing of bolts in wood ; no springing of timbers ; no racking of frame work ; 
 the staunch iron frame holds all the parts in place ; the power is complete 
 in itself, without the wooden ground timber to which it is attached merely 
 for convenience in moving, loading, and staking down ; in this respect it 
 has decided advantages over the Pitt's and other similar powers. 
 
 THIS POWER IS VERY STRONG. 
 
 In the Pitt's power the large or master wheel works into two pinions : 
 owing to the large diameter of the wheel, as compared with the pinions, 
 there are never but two cogs in each pinion at the same time, and, there- 
 fore, only four cogs in the large wheel under strain at the same time. 
 These four cogs have to sustain all the pressure. In this power the large 
 or master wheel works into three pinions, and they are so proportioned 
 that three cogs in each pinion are in bearing all the time ; thus in this 
 power there are nine cogs doing the work that has to be done in the Pitt's 
 power by four, or less than half as many. Let it be remembered in each 
 case the cogs are just about the same size. 
 
 Again, in this triple gear power three spur wheels work into the centre 
 pinion and two cogs of each are always in bearing, whereby six cogs of 
 the centre pinion and six cogs of the spur wheels are constantly under 
 pressure. In the corresponding parts of the Pitt's there are never more 
 than four and often only two cogs under pressure at one time, or only 
 about half as many. 
 
 Then again this power has an advantage in the distribution of the labor 
 of the boxes, journals and shafts at three points instead of two. Add to 
 
u

 i 
 
 this the greater stability of the heavy iron frame as compared ^vith the 
 yielding wood, and the superior strength of this power is manifest. 
 
 IT IS VEHY E.VSILY REPAIRED. 
 
 Any pinion, box, or shaft (excei^t bai'cly one) 
 may be taken oft" and rejjlaced by a new one in 
 five minutes, and in a proper manner. A pinion 
 may bo taken oft" and replaced by a new one in 
 one minute. There is but one pinion or wheel in 
 the power that is " keyed" on. Any shaft except 
 the line shaft can be replaced in five minutes. 
 There are but two boxes, viz. the line shaft boxes 
 and these are both accessible and easy taken off. 
 No necessity for blacksmith or machinist, any 
 man of ordinary intelligence can do any needful 
 replacing of parts. This great convenii'iico in 
 repairing will be found a great advantage.

 IT IS EASILY MANAGED, 
 
 But " it will not take care of itself," no ma- 
 chinery will ; but as compared with other powers 
 it is much easier understood and kept in order. 
 The absence of the wooden frame — the absence 
 of keys and wedges — the equul distribution of the 
 work — the accessibility of all the parts, all con- 
 duce to its greater ease of management, and with 
 the same amount of care bestowed on it, will be 
 kept in better order. Every bolt and box is 
 accessible ; every box is attached to the iron 
 frame, and can be kept in place ; every part is 
 r I fitted by machinery, so that new parts will dupli- 
 cate perfectly, and the whole power can be taken to 
 pieces and put together again in a few minutes ow- 
 ing to *'ae absence of keys, wedging and rivetting. 
 In the Pitt's powf^r all the boxes are set in 
 wood, or in some way attached to the wooden 
 frame, so as to be dependant for their relative 
 positions upon the stability of the wood. From 
 this may result many evils. The heavy strain of eight or ten horses 
 cause the bolts to press into the wood, and parts of the wooden frame 
 to spring or rack : boxes thus " get out of line," then follows the heat- 
 ing of journals, cutting or filing of cogs, unequal wearing, heavy draught, 
 and perhaps breakage. These evils do not always result but often do.

 of loading and unloading at each job, the saving of time, and the use 
 of an extra waggon, will compensate for the additional cost.

 PITT'S HOKSE POWER. 
 
 The above cut is a representation of Pitt's Horse Power, as manufac- 
 tured and improved by me. ^No Horse Power, it may be safely asserted, 
 has ever met with such universal favor. It is an old established power 
 well known to ail threshers, and is a great favorite with some. 
 
 Especial attenton is now given to the manufacture of my horse powers. 
 This year I have made new patterns, with larger and stronger wheels, 
 which with Babbit metal boxes for lay shaft, steel upright shafts, im- 
 proved bridge tree, and other improvements, Avill make this power tho 
 best of its cla; s. 
 
 The iron used in the manufacture v.f the castings is the very best that 
 can be procuro. ■, regaiJless of price, and .hey are warranted perfectly sound,

 DODGE'S COMBINED ISIOWER AND SELF-RAKING REAPER' 
 IMPROVED FOR THE HARVEST OF 1872. 
 
 This Machine deservedly stands at the head of its class. As a coiu- 
 "bined machine it has no equal. It embraces the most useful improve- 
 ments of the day. It has a Tilting Table, and a double or changeable 
 speed, Avheii desired. It now stands without a rival as a Combined 
 Machine. 
 
 The unusual success of this machine, both in closely contested trial and 
 in the hands of the farmer warrants me in saying that as a Combined 
 ^MoAving and Self-Raking Reaping Machine it has more good points and less 
 defects, and has met with more success and less failure than any com- 
 bined machine ever offered to the public. 
 
 The cutting apparatus for reaping is equal to any mow^ing attachment ; 
 it consists of a wrought-iron bar firmly iixed in the wooden beam, Avith 
 malleable fingers Avith steel ledger plates inserted, highly tempered, ground 
 concave, and to an acute angh.', Avhich enables this machine to cut any 
 and all kinds and (pialities of grain, laid, tAA^sted or variable crops, 
 damp or dry, grass, or otherAvise : it is furnished Avith both a smooth knife 
 and a single section knife for reaping. 
 
 The Platform can noAv be raised by the driver by means of a lover 
 without leaving his seat, and is readily adjusted to cut any height.

 The Self- Rake attacliment is now attached to the shoe entirely, which 
 places it more readily under tlie control of the driver. The arm is ar- 
 ranged so that the rake can be adjusted to all kinds of grain. 
 
 The point of the Drag-bar is now so arranged that the driver can 
 raise or lower it at pleasure, by means of a lever, throwing the points of 
 ±he guards and also the rakes up or down without leaving his seat. 
 
 The Grain is easily delivered at the rear of the machine, entirely out 
 <oi the way of the team on the next round, in good shaped bundles for 
 binding. 
 
 The Rake is so arranged that when the machine ia not cutting, or 
 when moving it from field to field, it can readily be thrown out of gear 
 l)y means of a lever, and the machine can travel on without moving the 
 rakes. 
 
 The Grain Wheel is now raised or lowered by means of a lever, it 
 ■will be found a simple arrangement, and much quicker changed tlian the 
 old way. 
 
 This Machine has the most important features of the modern single 
 mowers, viz. : Two driving wheels and the floating cutter bar, which 1 akes 
 it perfectly adapted to uneven ground. It has no gearing on the driving 
 wheels. Its gearing is all completely covered up and protected from grit 
 and dirt which makes the machine run easier and much more durable. 
 The knife lias a rapid motion and a three inch section. 
 
 The points of the guards can be raised or depressed to take up down 
 ■or tangled grass, or raised to cut as high as desired without stopping the 
 team. 
 
 The Improvements made in this Machine are real Improvements, not 
 theories, but such as have been subjected to a thorough test and their 
 merits fully established. 
 
 I beg to draw special attention to the fact that Mowers and Reapers 
 are now constructed by me so as with ordinary management to be almost 
 entirely free from breakages. Being fully aware of the inconvenience and 
 loss occasioned by any stoppage during harvest, I have used every exer- 
 tion to render my machines the most perfect in this as well as in other 
 respects. 
 
 This machine is furnished with four complete knives ; two for reaping 
 and two for moAving ; two knife sections, two guards, screw wrench, 
 punch, cold chisel, oil can, pitman box, and some rivets, doubletrees and 
 Avhippletrees.

 This macliine has been tlioronglily tested, ami has a good reputation. 
 Sdine of its advantages are these : — It has two large driving wlieels and a 
 sliding or adjustable tongue ■which obviates that objectionable feature so 
 common in Eeaping and ^Mowing Machines, viz. : side draft ; it is so 
 constructed that each Avheel drives the knife independently of the other, 
 or both together, according to the direction in Avliich it is moving, so that 
 in turning to the right or left a strong and powerl'ul motion is kejjt up on 
 the knife ; the large circumference of the wheels allows it to move over 
 furrows and uneven land easily ; the mowing and rcfaping attachments 
 are entirely independent of each other ; the change from the mower can 
 be effected in a few moments, and vice versa. 
 
 AS A M(JWER 
 
 It has given general satisfaction, by being light of draught and easily 
 managed. The cutter bar is made of steel, live feet long, ami is extra 
 strong. The guards, which are made of wrought iron, and faced with 
 stool, are highly tempered and ground up to an acute angle. The knives, 
 which are the best that are made, are nicely, fitted, rendering it a perfect 
 cutter, and insuring it against clogging. The cutter bar is under the \)cv- 
 ft'ct control of the driver, who can easily raise it over any obstruction 
 while in motion* It is easily, folded for transportation, and ec^ual to any 
 single mower made. 
 
 In reaping it cuts a swath six feet wide, and having no weight on 
 the platform except the weight of grain, has not the same amount of 
 strain to endure as a single wheeled machine, and thei-efore is not liable 
 to twist or warp about. The knives are sickle-edged, and driven at a 
 good speed it cuts free and easy. The grain wheel is hung on a pivot, so 
 as to run in any direction. This overcomes the difficulty of turning, 
 which has been a source of trouble in some reaping machines. The reel 
 is- driven by a chain from the end of the axle of the driving wheel, 
 through a universal joint, which allows the wheel to maintain its relation 
 to the platform, over the uneven surface of the ground. . The inner reel 
 post is of iron, and is constructed with a long screw and a rubber spring, 
 which allows it to accommodate itself in passing over the uneven surface 
 of the land, and by keeping the strain on the chain uniform, prevents its 
 breaking 
 
 The Ohio Mower and Reaper is warranted perfect in material and 
 I workmanship, and with proper management to do good work. Parties 
 purchasin,, are allowed one day to try them, and if they shonld fail to 
 [work satisfactorily, the parties must notify me or my Agent, and allow 
 [sufficient time to send a man to put them in order. If they do not ope- 
 |rato after this, they will be taken back in exchange for those that will 
 rork.

 WOOD'S SELF-RAKE REAPING MACHINE. 
 
 The cut on the 20th piye is a representation of this machine, which 
 is well known in Canada now, and has proV(.'d itself one of th(? best 
 self-rake reapers yet introduced. This machine throws oil' the sheaf at a 
 Rutficient distance from the standing grain to allow the team to pass round 
 without interfering with the cut grain. It is very simple in its construc- 
 tion and not liable to get out of order, and yet very strong and light 
 Aveighing only about 875 lbs. 
 
 This machine is adapted to cut all kinds of grain, tall or short, heavy 
 or light, lodged or standing ; the driver having perfect control of the 
 machine when in motion, and can raise or lower the finger-bar to suit the 
 grain while cutting, and can regulate the size of the sheaf at pleasure. 
 
 I have this season made some very valuable improvements in this ma- 
 chine. From its first introduction the machine has been improved in de- 
 tail, parts of which Avere too weak have been made stronger, and it is now 
 acknowledged, after repeated field contests in all parts, to be one of the 
 best single reapers invented. Every machine is tested by actual running 
 before sent out. 
 
 Extras given with this machine — One pair of whippletrees and dou- 
 bletrees, two knife sections, two guards, one screw wrench, oil can, punch, 
 chisel, and neck-yoke. 
 
 This machine is warranted capable of cutting from twelve to twenty 
 acres per day, and when properly managed to do good work. Parties 
 purchasing an; allowed to try them one half-day ; then should anything 
 prove defective, notice must be given me or my Agent, and time allowed 
 for a second trial, when, if the machine does not work as recommended, 
 it will be exchanged for one that will Avork; continued possession of the 
 machine will bo evidence of satisfaction. 
 
 Im.proced for the comimj season hy the free use of steel or other suit- 
 able rnateri'd throughout, where there is any liability to icearor breaJi'age.

 JOHNSTON'S SELF-KAKING liEAPEli.

 Eeaper yet introduced. It is beyond comparison the Lost single liciii-er 
 now offered to the Farmer. In tangled or lodged grain it has no c<|ual.

 Tlii.« maclime is designed for roapinij oi^-lv; is supported by two 
 wheels, one of whick drives tho gearing that carries the rakes, the other 
 an outside grain wheel that supports the platform. 
 
 The finder beam and cutting apparatus are located opposite the centre 
 of the driving wheel. 
 
 The driver's seat is supported on the outer end of the main axle, out 
 of the way of the gearing and machinery. 
 
 The main frame and cutting apparatus are connected to the axle 
 plate of the driving wheel in such a manner that they are free to be raised 
 or lowered and fastened to any ro(iuired height from two to eighteen 
 inches. The machine is also provided with a lever, which 'is connected 
 with the hinged tongue in sucli a manner that the driver can raise and 
 lower the cutting apparatus at pleasure, while passing along. By this 
 arrangement the platform can in an instant Ije tilted so that the rakes 
 strike below the cutting apparatus, and nearly to tiie ground to i)ick up 
 the laid grain. 
 
 The apparatus for gathering and discharging the] grain is combined 
 in one device, and consists of five rakes attached to arms which are piv- 
 oted to a ceiitral hub or head. All of these rakes act in gathering the 
 grain ; any one of them may be used to discliarge the grain at the will of 
 the operator, or either of them may be set to discharge the gavel at 
 regular intervals. It gathers and delivers tangled and lodged grain easily 
 and in good shape. It cuts easily with a common team, from fifteen to 
 twenty acres per day. 
 
 This machine being expressly designed for reaping, is farjmore simple 
 and efficient than combined machines constructed for both reaping and 
 mowing. 
 
 Tliis machine is furnished with two complete knives for reaping, one 
 sickle edge, and one smooth edge, which enables it to cut grain with 
 grassy bottoms without choking. 
 
 GREAT FIELD TRIAL AT XENIA, OHIO, 1870. 
 
 A very important Field Trial of Reapers and Mowers .occurred at 
 Xcnia, Ohio, on the 29th and 30th of June, at which the Johnston was 
 awarded the First Prize — a Grand Gold Medal. The following is taken 
 from the report of the Committee. 
 
 "The Johnston Harvester is a new machine here, and it was the 
 first time it had been seen bv anv of us. As we awarded it the First 
 Gold Medal as the best Reaping Machine, we would as briefly as possible 
 state our reasons for so doing. Manufacturers have long kno-sm that it 
 was a desideratum with the farmer to obtain a machine for takin^ up 
 lodged grain, although it might be laying out from the machine, or in the 
 direction it is moving; hence all the devices for raising or lowering the

 cut while in motion, "Whilst all the other competing machines cut about 
 as low, yet the reel of the Johnston is so arranged that in lodged grain it 
 can be droi)ped to the ground some eighteen inches in front of the cutters, 
 lifting the grain clean from the ground on to the platform in about as good 
 condition as it found it. This being the case, and the mechanical con- 
 struction and draught of the machine being about equal to others, satisfied 
 us to make the award." 
 
 The Johnston Eeaper received the First Premium as a Self-Raking 
 Reaper from the State Agricultural Societies of Maryland and Virginia^ 
 and also a large number of First Premiums from County Societies. 
 
 Below we give an extract from the Official Report of the Trial of 
 Farm Machinery, held at Ripon, Wisconsin, July 12 to 16, under the 
 auspices of the Ripon Farmer's Club, and published by order of the CluK 
 
 We had on trial there a single Self-Raking Reaper only, and the fol- 
 lowing is its record on the different qualities on which the Committees

 In presenting the Sprague ^Mower to the notice of the Farmers of this 
 country, and in soliciting their patronage, I feel no hesitation in making 
 the statement tliat I am calling attention not to a new and untried expe ■ 
 rimental machine, but to one that has been subjected to the most tho- 
 rough and trying tests in many sections of the United States and this 
 country, and in all the various and difficult kinds of work which are 
 required from a first-class mower. The result obtained from these trials 
 have been most satisfactory both to the purchasers and manufacturer. 
 
 The Sprague mower as manufactured and exhibited by me at the 
 Provincial Exhibition, held in Kingston, last year, was awarJod the First 
 Prize and Diploma, when in competition with all the leading machine in 
 Canada. There were 21 machines entered for competition. 
 
 My aim has been, and will be, to place in the hands of the Farmer, 
 a mower, light of weight, easy of draught, strong in construction, with the 
 best and most simple mechanical arrangement and proportion of the 
 newest and most complete facilities for handling a cutting ai)parutus work- 
 ing parts ; the second to none in use ; and at a price at once fair and reason" 
 able and much below that heretofore charged for the same quality of 
 first-class mowers. 
 
 The machines placed in the field last season, were carefully tried and 
 watched in all the different positions and upon all kinds of mowing, and 
 the Sprague ]\Iower of the present day stands higher and is nearer perfec- 
 tion than any mo-vnng machine offered to the public. 
 
 WARRANTY. 
 
 The Sprague Mower is warranted to cut grass equal to the best work 
 with a scythe, or at the rate of one acre per hour, or ten to fifteen acres 
 per day. Every purchaser is allowed one half-day to try the machine, 
 and in case anything proves defective, notice must immediately be given 
 me or my Agent, and time allowed for a second trial, and if it does not 
 work after this, and the fault is in the machine, it will be taken back and 
 exchanged for one that will work. 
 
 Each machine is entitled to one extra scythe, two extra sections, two 
 extra guards, an oil can, WTench, cold chisel, punch, neck-yoke, double 
 tree and wliippletrees, two guard bolts, and six section rivets.

 The ^Machines are shipped in three "pieces. The Machine with all 
 the parts securely lashed to it ; the Pole ; and the Cutter Ear -with the 
 Scythes secured to it. See that the Numbers on the Machine Polo and 
 Cutter Bar correspond. 
 
 1. Unpack all the parts that are lashed to the Machine. 
 
 2. Bolt the Pole and Ratchet stand to the Frame, screwing the nuts 
 up as tightly as possible, in order to hold them firmly in their places. 
 
 3. Hook the end of the Draught Rod, that has the round eye on it,into 
 the hook in the Hinge Joint, then place the Evener under the Pole, bring 
 the oval end of the Draught Rod up to the underside of the Evener, put the 
 bolt through Rod, Evener and Pole, with the head underneath, and turn 
 the nut up as tightly as possible. 
 
 4. Attach Cutter Ear to Machine by bolts in Hinge Joint. 
 
 5. Put the Pitman in its place on the Crank balance. 
 
 6. Put the Scythe into the guards until the eye is against the round- 
 ed out plpce in the Scythe Head Holder, then stand on the back side of 
 the Cutter Ear, take hold of the outside Shoe and Scythe with the right 
 hand, and raise the outer end of bar until the Pitman can be connected 
 with the Scythe by the left hand. 
 
 7. Attach Track Clearer, "VVhiffletrees and Neck Yoke. - 
 
 8. Oil every place where there is any friction, before use, and after- 
 wards keep all the bearings well oiled. Oil the Pitman head and both 
 bearings of Crank Shaft more frequently than any other part. Use tho 
 best Sperm or Machinery oils. 
 
 9._ While Mowing, drive straight, and let the team move at a mode- 
 rate gait. 
 
 10. To make good clean work, drive out at the corners before begin- 
 ning to turn, and never commence a swath without having the guards free 
 from grass. 
 
 11. Always keep the Scythe sharp, grinding when necessary, and 
 sharpening with a whetstone as often as you cut an acre of grass. 
 
 12. Be sure and keep the Buttons down close to the Scythe: by so 
 doing, you will cut the grass better, with less work /or your team, and 
 less wear on the Machine. 
 
 • 
 
 13. Always throw the Machine out of gear before you raise the bar to 
 a perpendicular position.

 ADVANTAGES PECULIAR TO THE SPRAGUE MOWER. 
 
 1. The Machine is constructed entirely of Iron and Steel, without 
 any woodwork except the Pole and its attachments. 
 
 i 
 
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEME.YTS AND MACHLXES. 
 
 31 
 
 2. The Frame is an Iron Case, cast in one piece, Avith the bearings 
 for the Shaibs cast on it. 
 
 3. The Shafting is of the best refined irorij^and running as it does in 
 bearings cast on the Frame, it cannot get out of line from any warping of 
 Frame or loosening of Bolts ; thereby avoi<ling tlie troubli.' which so often 
 occurs from those causes on all wooden frames and all irun fraines that 
 are made of separate pieces. 
 
 4. The Gears are cast from the best American iron, and aio tlio 
 strongest set of Mowing Machine gears in use ; they are arranged in a 
 mechanical and compact manner within the Frame and are completely 
 encased ; by tliis arrangement they are protected from dirt and grass, and 
 it is impossible for the operator to be injured by them, 
 
 6. But four Bolts (and those ^vith check or double nuts) are required 
 on the frame, to hold in their proper places "tlie Cover, Caj), Seat, Shaft 
 ing and Gears. The Cover is hinged to the Frame, and by sim])ly raising 
 it, access is readily obtained to all the working parts of the Machine. 
 
 6. Almost the entire weight is carried on the wheels while mowing, 
 thereby giving the greatest possible amount of driving power in propor- 
 tion to the weight of the Machine. 
 
 7. The Machine weighing but 600 lbs., is one of the lightest, but 
 from its pecidiar construction, one of the strongest and most etfcctivo. 
 
 8. Having the most simply constructed Lifting Central Draught prop- 
 erly arranged, the labor upon the team is much lessened, and the liability 
 of damage to the Machine from striking obstructions is greatly reduced.. 
 
 9. The Machine has been so carefully constructed and balanced, with 
 a view of avoiding side draught, that no device is necessary to conceal that 
 which does not exist. 
 
 10. The Frame and Gearing are placed in the centre of the Macliine, 
 bringing the weight equally upon the drive wheels, thus obtaining a more 
 steady motion with less shaking of the driver. 
 
 11. The apparatus for working and handling the Cu; .er Bar is the most 
 complete, simple and efficient of any in use ; with the single Lever, with- 
 out moving from his seat, the operator can brihg the Cutter Bar to a per- 
 pendicular position and secured for the road, and with the same lever, 
 unfasten and lower the Bar to the proper position for mowing, the wholo 
 operation not requiring more than ten seconds. 
 
 12. The Seat and Tool Box are combined, the Tool Box forming the 
 base of the Seat, and the seat forming the cover of the box. By a slot in 
 the bottom of the base, the seat can be moved forward or back, according: 
 to the weight of the driver, thus relieving the horse's neck. 
 
 1 3. The Lever for throwing the Macliine in aiid out of gear is worked 
 entirely with the foot, leaving the hands of the operator at liberty. 
 
 14. The Cutting apparatus is regarded as the best ever placed upon a 
 mower. Neither pains nor expense have been spared to have the material 
 of the best quality, and the workmanship of the first class. 
 
 15. The Sprague Mower is pre-eminently tlie, light draught machine for 
 the following reasons : The Gears are so carefully made and mechanically 
 arranged ; the Shafts are so exactly fitted into the solid bearings, both 
 
13

 IVOODDRIDGE AGRICULTURAL WORKS. 
 
 being so compli'toly protocted from dirt or grass, that they run with 
 much less than tlie usual amount of friction : the Wheels and Gears are 
 so correctly timed, and work in unison with such a perfectly constructed 
 Cutting ap})aratus, tliat the amount of power used and required to cut the 
 ^raas, is reduced to the smallest possible limit. 
 
 16. The Sprague Mower is the most durable machine offered to the 
 public. In ordcu' to be satisfied on this point, so important to the success 
 of the Mower, the Spragms Mowing Machine Company had one of their 
 Machines, which had cut four h indred tons of hay, (equal to the ordinary 
 "work on a farm in four years) Iji-ought to their works and taken entirely 
 apart, to ascertain the parts most worn. The Scythes were worn entirely 
 out, but the working parts of tht) Machine, were nearly or quite as good 
 as new. Below we give the statement of the Farmer who used the Ma- 
 (Chine, and who has charge of the largest farm in that State : — 
 
 " During the season of 1870, the Sprague Mower, No. 328, 
 was used under my direction and supervision to cut at least four 
 hundred tons of hay.

 This is a splendid Mowing IMacliine where farmers have a Reaping 
 Machine, or where the separate machines are preferred. Its success has 
 rendered it a favourite among the farmers. Its construction, portability, 
 lightness of draught, and adaptability to cutting all kinds of grass, from 
 the heaviest to the lightest, and that too on the most rough and uneven 
 surfaces renders it tho gem of Mowing Machines. 
 
 The folloAving description of this Machine, with its properties and 
 advantages, will enable the intending purchaser to form an idea of it3 
 qualities as a Mower : ' 
 
 1. It is constructed wholly of iron and steel. 2. It has two driving 
 wheels, acting upon ratcheted pinions, each driving the knives independ- 
 ently of the other, enabling it to cut round stumps and other obstructions, 
 by securing a strong motion of the knives when turning to tho right or 
 left. 3. Its gearing is all enclosed in metal cases, entirely preventing 
 accidents arising from anything coming in contact with the gearing, and 
 effectually protecting it from dirt and grit. 4. The back part of the frame 
 carrying the pitman, and to which the cutter-bar is 'also attached, is hinged 
 upon the axlo of the driving wheels ; this, with a hinged or flexible cut- 
 ter-bar, allows it to follow the srirface of the ground, however uneven, and 
 keeping the connecting rod ahvays square with the knives. 5. The cutter-

 bar is made of «teel, light aiul strong. G. Tlie guards are made of Iho 
 "boBt wroiiglit iron, and an; laid with steel finely tempered, and are 
 grooved and ground uptuan acute angle, tliereby forming a j)erl'oct cutting 
 edge. Against tlieae the knives are made to lit with the greatest precision, 
 and driven by a rapid motion they cut the heaviest meadows with ease, 
 and witliout clogging, 7. The cutter-bar is quickly raised by a lover, in 
 order to jiass over obstrctious. 8. Its leading and ])eculiar featuro is a 
 dipping motion given to the cutter-bar, whicli_ is regulated by the driver. 
 This motion is obtained by a graduating lever, which enables him to 
 throw the knives downwards or upwards, and thereby enables him to 
 cut lodged grass whan lying directly from the Machine ; also, to raise 
 the points of the guards, allowing the cutter-bar to pass freely and 
 easily over the loose stones and sticks without injury to the knives j also, 
 of cutting higher or lower, as desired. Tliis ])eculiar construction gives it 
 an advantage over all other mowers. 9. It cuts a swath four feet wide, 
 and will cut from seven to ten acres per day. 10. It is easily folded for 
 transportation, requires little room for storage, and is the lightest draught 
 Machine made. Valuable improvements added to tins Machine for the 
 coming season. 
 
 BIRDSELL'S PATENT COMBINED CLOVER THRESHER 
 
 AND HULLER. 
 
 This Machine operates in clover threshsng similar to grain separators 
 in wheat threshing, doing all the work at one operation, without rehand- 
 ling the chaff. It has received a number of alterations and additions this 
 last season, which have been thoroughly tested, and proved beyond doubt 
 to be real improvements. 
 
 I have also arranged the machine to put on my Patent Gear, with cut 
 wheels, which with the above improvements, have placed this Machine 
 far in advance of all others. 
 
 This Machine has given the best of satisfaction, and last season the 
 orders came in in such large numbers that I was unable to supply the 
 demand for them. 
 
 In the hands of good operators, it will thresh, hull and clean from 
 twenty to fifty bushels per day, without waste of seed.

 NEW IMPllOVED TWO-FURROW PLOUGH. 
 
 PATENTED. 
 
 The above engraving represents my new Patent Two-Furrow Iron 
 Plough ; it is very light, but still very strong, and is remarkable for its 
 extreme lightness of draught. One span of heavy horses, in light or 
 medium soil, or three light horses in heavy clay, will draw it easily, thus 
 doing the work of two men and teams. It does its work in good shape, 
 and is easily managed. 
 
 Farmers will readily sec the great advantage arising from the use of 
 two-furrow ploughs, as in the spring time they can get over double the 
 quantity of land, and do it as well as the single plough. In this variable 
 climate, it is often of the utmost importance to get the seed in as early as 
 it is possible to get on the laml ; a few days time and labor in the S2)ring 
 would often save the wliolo crop. 
 
 The frame of this plough is inado entirely of wrought iron, well 
 braced ; it has steel boards, and can be fitted with either steel or cast 
 iron shares as parties may desire. The steerage is most complete, and one 
 of the peculiarities of this plough, it has a compound movement by wliich 
 the ploughman can instantaneously alter the depth while the plough is at 
 work, without sto2:)ping the horses or leaving his usual position when fol- 
 lowing the plough. It is readily set to plough any width of furrow. The 
 ploughman has the most i")erfect control of it in every respect. 
 
 The two-furrow plough ha? been extensively used in Great Britain, 
 with great success \ its great merits has become thoroughly known there, 
 and it is looked on as a standard implement. Its great superiority 
 and economy overjsingle'plougl).s has been thoroughly tested, and can no 
 longer be disputed.

 MOULDING OE RIDGi:XG PLOUGH. 
 
 These Ploughs are fitted with double mould-boards, and are intended 
 for inouldidg up potatoes, beets, or other plants sown on the ridge, and 
 I'or opening water furrows. These operations are sometimes performed 
 by a single-breasted plough, vvhicli has to go up and dowa the field to 
 accomplish the same woik which this plough efiects in one journey. For 
 drawing furrows, for planting potatoes and other roots, a marker is fitted 
 to it, to be used for setting out the land, Avhich saves the trouble of mea- 
 suring or dividing the land before connnencing work, as the Plough, 
 T whilst making one furrow, is marking a course for the next. By remov- 
 ing the boards and marker, it can be used for subsoiling, and again, by 
 attaching a frame and cutter, it forms a hoe, suitable for clearing land 
 between rows of plants sown either on the ridge or flat.

 COLLARD'S PATE:NT IEON HARROW. 
 
 I have made arrangements tliat enable mo to furnish all parties 
 requiring a good harrow with the above implement. The Patentee, who 
 spent much time 'and money in perfecting his patent Iron Harrow, and 
 preparing machinery for manufacturing it, has succeeded in producing a 
 superior article, which can be furnished at a moderate price. 
 
 Each part is formed by machinery, by means of dies, presses, and 
 punches — each joint is thereby a perfect fit, and each part exactly like its 
 fellow. The harrow is made in two-row sections, four making up a har- 
 row of 40 teeth. 
 
 It has a very lively motion when at work ; b"ing in small sections, 
 it readily adjusts itself to uneven surface in the ground, and is hght to 
 handle or move and of easy draught. There is not a nut or key to remove 
 when taking it apart to remove from one field to another, consequently no 
 small parts to lose. By taking out one of the inside sections, and revers- 
 ing one inside and both outside seciions, it makes a light thirty-tooth 
 harrow, suitable for one horse or a pair of colts, and it can at any time be 
 enlarged by adding one or more sections — thus making a 50 or 60 tooth 
 harrow. 
 
 The hinges or connections are so arranged that there is a joint ex- 
 actly behind each horse and one between them, so that when either horse 
 is walking in the furrow, or if the furrow is between them, the harrow 
 will with ease adapt itself to the shape of the furrow, thus nicely dressing 
 the edges of both lands at the same time. 
 
 The head or shoulder of the teeth is formed by a peculiar die forming 
 the tenon, or part passing through the upper bar tapering, which gives

 the greatest strength to .the tooth, and is the subject of a patent. The 
 teeth are laid with the best of steel one third the length.

 Il\rPEOVED ARCHED IROX FRAME CONCAVE KNIFE 
 
 CHAFF MACHINE. 
 
 The above cut represents my Horse Power Chaff Cutter, which is a 
 very superior article, and for strength, simplicity and endurance it is un- 
 surpassed. It is made entirely of iron and steel, except the tail-box. It 
 also has an arch iron frame, wliich gives it great strength and durability. 
 The fly-wheel carrying the knives is placed on the main shaft, between 
 two bearings filled with Babbit metal, and is enclosed in the frame, to 
 prevent accidents, and also to give it greater strength and durability. It 
 cuts three different lengths of chaff; three-quarters, half-inch, and three 
 cuts to the inch. It is furnished Avith improved registered rollers, which 
 never fail to draw forward the material to be cut, and entirel/ obviate 
 choking, which is a point of great moment to the purchaser of a chaff cut- 
 ter. It is also fitted with rising mouth-piece and arresting gear, which 
 places the machine entirely under the control of the feeder, as in case 
 anything should get into the machine the feed can be instantly stopped. 
 
 Note. — In the use of chaff cutters, especially those driven by horse power, too 
 much care cannot Vc taken to have tlie material to be cut free from stones, iron, sticks, 
 etc., as accidents either to the machinery or the feeder often ensue from want of care 
 in this respect. The bearings .should be frequently oiled, and precautions taken to 
 keep the oil-holes free from dust. 
 
 "For shaipening the knives a small file is best, and it should be done on the 
 bevelled front face of the knife.

 GRAIX CllUSHERS. 
 
 I also manufacture Grain Crushers. No apology is necessary for 
 this class of machinery, nor is the value and importance of crushing, 
 bruising or splitting all kinds of grain, before it is givei. to horses, cattle, 
 or pigs, a disputed question. These mills are prepared with a view to 
 economy. They are strong, simple, useful, pnd tlioroughly good, both in 
 principle and workmanship, and are capable of crushing oats, barley, 
 peas, or small grain of any kind. They have two rollers, finely grooved^ 
 by machinery ; one roller travelling faster than the other causing a grind- 
 ing motion. They are set to grind coarse or fine, by means of an adjust- 
 ing screw. The feed roller is exactly adapted to supply the crushing 
 rollers, and is easily arranged to give the rollers full work, without the 
 fear of being choked. Their action is perfect, and the arrangement most 
 convenient. With the aid of improved machinery, I have been enabled 
 to considerably reduce the i)rice of this machine ; in so doing, however, 
 their high character for material and workmanship is maintained, and the 
 macliinc will now crush the finesic seeds. Capacity, from forty to eighty 
 bushels per hour. I manufacture three sises of the above machine ; 
 prices are — 10 inch lioller, $30.

 DRAG SAW. 
 
 The above cut represents the Drag Saw I still continue to manufac- 
 ture. This machine is intended for cutting stove or cordwood, or shingle 
 stuff, out of the log. One great advantage in this INIachine to the farmer 
 is, he can by it have all his rough knotty timber cut into stove length, 
 ■which is easily split when cut short, and which would otherwise most 
 likely be consigned to the log heap. The whole weight of the slides, 
 guides, saw, and pitman, is on the log when cutting, which enables the 
 saw to cut very fast. It will cut from eighty to one hundred cords per 
 day. In this Machine the use of the screw and worm is dispensed with 
 for feeding up the log, which is such an objectionable feature in most 
 other Machines, and the use of spur Avheels substituted in their place. 
 It is also fitted with steel slides and Babbit boxes. The Machine is un- 
 der the perfect control of the man in attendance. With the aid of a lever, 
 putting the wheels in gear, the log moves forward at the pleasure of the 
 operator. It is also furnished with a break, by which the Machine can 
 be stopped in a fow seconds. The frame is bolted together, and tho 
 whole Machine made in a strong, substantial manner, and has given per- 
 fect satisfaction.

 COMBINED ROLLER AND CLOD CRUSHER. 
 
 This valiiahle imploment is made upon the principle of Atr. C. Cam- 
 bridge's Improved Patent DouLle Action Press AVlieel Roller and Clod 
 Crusher. It is composed of a nTimher of Caml^ridge's old patent plain 
 •wheels, with thin cutting edges ; a serrated or notched wheel, of peculiar 
 construction, is placed hetween each plain wheel, hy which arrangement 
 the effective action of the best clod crusher and wheel rollers are com- 
 bined in this one. 
 
 This new Patent Roller and Clod Crusher will surpass every other 
 in use for the following purposes : For rolling cloddy ^and before har- 
 rowing ; also for rolling grain as soon as sown. For rolling wheat upon 
 light land in the spring, after frosts and winds have left the plants bare ; 
 for stopi)ing tlie ravages of the Avire worm and grub ; for rolling bcrley, 
 oats, &c., when the plants are three inches out of the ground ; for rolling 
 Itefore sowing clover, and in the spring, Avhen the clover plant has a 
 tendency to throw out ; for rolling turnips in the rough leaf before 
 hoeing, Avhen the plants are attacked by the Avire wonn and grub ; for 
 rolling pastures, breaking up as it does, Ijy its vveight and sliajjc, the old 
 hard sward and enabling the roots to throw fresh shoots, thus renovat- 
 ing the pasture. 
 
 Some of the peculiar advantages of this roller over others are, the 
 equalization of the pressure upon the land, the Discs, which work 
 independently of each other, do not sink so deep into the land ; therefore 
 the drauglit is lighter ; the indentation of the Discs approach nearer to 
 the trampling of sheep than any other, and a special advantage is found 
 in the rolling of wheat and other crops in spring, in the destruction of 
 the wire worm, grub, &c.

 FACTS FOR FARRIERS. 
 
 The best authorities on Agriculture say hat thorough Drainage 
 will add at least one-third to the product of the soil. Drainage will 
 often save a crop. Drainage will enable a farmer to work his land much 
 earlier in the Spring, and thereby his crops escape risks to which late 
 planting exposes them. Drainage will often convert useless land into 
 the most productive. Rain should not be permitted to run off the sur- 
 face of the soil, nor should it remain in it to sour, but should percolate 
 through it, and then be removed, thus imparting to vegetation the 
 valuable jiroperties it contains, so necessary to the sustenance of 
 vegetable life. Hence the great importance of underdraining. A 
 thorough system of underdraining prevents ths soil from baking

 proservf'S it always in a UKjist and porous stato, so that the roots can 
 extend to ^'rcat distances in tlio soil in aoarcli of nourishni.uit, and thus 
 causes a vi;,'orous growth cl' the crop.

 Wo, the undersigned, havinf; been present at a trial of Carter's 
 Improved Ditching Machine, held on tlie farm of 3Ir. Andrew Murray, 
 Malahide, Ont., 28th July, 1869, hereby certify that the said Machine, in 
 our judgment, is perfectly adapted for the. purposes of Land Draining, 
 supplying a machine exceedingly simple in coastruction, easily liandled, 
 and admirably adapted for agricultural purposes, and for which we feel " 
 assured a good return will be realized by any person requiring it, being 
 satisfied that under ordinary circumstances the Machine is capable of 
 making drains from 2| to o feet deep and 8 inches wide at a cost of from 
 two to four cents i)er rod, according to the nature of the soil operated 
 on ; and we therefore recommend the said Machine to the favorable 
 notice of the farming community :

 Carter's Ditching Machine. — A few gentlemen visited the farm of Dr. Shaw, 
 in Adam townsliip, yesterday itfternoon, to witness the working qualities of the 
 Carter Ditching Machine, it was cold and rainy, but the. Machine was running, 
 and gave a full and fair exhibition of its merits. It cuts a ditch three i'eet in depth, 
 fleven inches wide at the top and eight at tlie bottom. On Wednesday, this 
 Machine, it t^vo hours and a half, cut a ditch eighty rod^ long and two feet nine 
 inclies in d pth. It will cut about three inclies in de])th at ( auti time passing over 
 the ground. The earth is thrown otf to one side fareno'igh to prevent it from falling

 or washing buck into the ditcli. Two large horses will draw the Ditcher, but four 
 of common size are necessary. Its construction is simjde, its working exceedingly 
 perfect, and. its durability must be all that could rrasoiuvbly be expected. It is 
 cheap, and is just what the farmers of this section need, for tilti draining is necessary 
 on most farms. Ditching \n ith this Machine would lose more than half its terrors to 
 farmers, since a whole farm coukl be tlioroughly drained with but very little labor, 
 as the Ditcher is as easily managed as a plough, and dishes out the bottom of the 
 ditch in jiorfect order for the tile. All things considered, we do not hesitate to 
 pronounce the Carter niachinc superior to all competitors that we have ever seen 
 on trial. 
 
 The following is a copy of Report of Committee appointed by the 
 New Jersey State Agricultural Society : — 
 
 IT. Cauter's, Aylmrr, Ontario, Ditchino Maciiin'e.— This Machip'< is 
 one of great merit, and must only be known to be appreciated. It does its part 
 with ease and accuracy, and a '.Teat work is predicted for it in the reclaiming of 
 wet lands. The Society award either a diploma or silver medal, at the option of the 
 exhibitors. 
 
 The Committtee appointed by the New Jersey State Agricultiial Society to 
 examine the Ditching and Draini'g Machine exhibited by H. Carter, of Aylmer, 
 Ont., reported that they were present at Mr. Hunter's, and examined it at work on 
 the 13tn instant. The ground being very tiry and baked hard, gave a very 
 severe test upon the Machine, which performed to the satisfaction of your 
 Committee and a number of gentlemen who were present at the trial. The 
 Machine, in the dry hard ground, cut two and a half (2i) inches at one cut, 
 and mada a ditch eight inches wide and two feet six inches deep in a short 
 time. Your Committee were much pleased with its working, the ease to the 
 operator, the great sim])licity of its construction, and the small cost of repairs 
 when parts are Avorn. They report the Machine a decided success. All of which 
 is respectfully submitted.

50 WOODBRIDGE AGRICULTURAL WORKS. 
 
 constructed as to generate the greatest amount of steam, the draught is 
 up and down and up, by which the largest possible amount of heating 
 
 surface is secured. 
 
 All the parts are cylindrical or circular, consequently can be made 
 perfectly secure under any pressure required. 
 
 The circulation of the water within the boiler is perfect, holding all 
 sediment in suspension so that the same may be blown from the surface, 
 or by blowing off the boiler once a week under pressure, it can be kept 
 perfectly clean. The Engine is built upon and secured to the Boiler ; all 
 parts are being turned and squared by lathes and planers, consequently all 
 parts will fit properly, hi in line and correctly placed one to the other, 
 so that no one of the parts will be thrown out of adjustment by 
 
 expansion. 
 
 The shaft is the farthest removed from the head as it should be, 
 while the cylin.'^^r and its parts are kept hot by being immersed in the 
 sterim. All the adjustment is made before the Engine is placed on the 
 
 Boiler. 
 
 There are no loose pieces within to become disarranged. Whenever 
 necessary the Engine can readily be taken from the Boiler by simply 
 unscrewing the holding down bolts. The piston can bo taken out, or 
 can be adjusted from the top without difficulty.

 For Saw nj Barrel Herding, either for Tight o: Slack Barrels ; Shingles, Pail Tub and Cheese- 
 hox Bottoms, Box Boards, Wagon Spokes, Cloth Boards, &;c. 
 
 Tlie attention of Mill Owners and manufacturers is called to this 
 excellent I\Iacliine for Sawing Shingles and Heading. It has met with 
 marked favor wherever introduced, owing to its superior work, both in 
 Shingles and Heading, as well as to its simplicity, durafiility and 
 economy of 2>owcr and timl.ier. Great improvements have lately been 
 made in this machine, and I now offer it to the public with renewed 
 confidence. 
 
 This machine has been thoroughly and severely tested during the 
 past twelve years, and experience lias shown it to possess the following 
 advantages : 
 
 1st. — Its simplicity renders it easily managed l)y any one capable of 
 keeping a saw in order. 
 
 2nd. — Owing to tlie peculiar manner of presenting the block to the 
 saw, the following advantages are secured : 1st. Less power is required. 
 2nd. The saw entering at the upper corner of the block, has to cut the 
 grain of the timber but once, and, consequently, keeps sliarp much 
 longer than would be the case if it entered the side and cut the grain 
 twice, as in other machines. 3rd. If properly filed, the saw feeds itself, 
 with hardly an effort on the part of the attendant. 4th. The work is 
 smoother. 5th. It is found that a thinner saw can be used than when 
 the block is presented directly sideways or endways, thus making a very 
 great saving of timber. 
 
 3rd. — Being fed by hand, the operato'- has complete control, and 
 can regulate the feed ^ "wording to the timber he is sawing, thus avoiding 
 the expensive breakages caused by forcing the saw through curls, knots, 
 &c., which is so great an objection to all self-feeders. This renders the 
 machine capable of operating successfully in any kind of timber. 
 
 4th. — It will average from two to three thousand more heading or 
 shingles per day than any of the numerous machines with which it has 
 ,yeen compared. It dogs very close to the saw, thus reducing the waste 
 to the least possible amount. 
 
 5th. — It is thoroughly adapted to sawing both Shingles and Heading 
 without tlie removal or addition of any parts. 
 
 6th. — The power is applied directly cO the work with an open belt, 
 '■■^^sequently none is consumed in driving contrivances. 
 
 7th. — The «av is so guarded as to make this the safest of machines 
 to work with, and at tlie same time it can be got at with great facility 
 for the purpose of filing, &c. No taper arbor being used in our improved 
 
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINES. 
 
 68 
 
 machines, to remove it from the machine is the -work of a minute, as no 
 surrounding parts need be removed. 
 
 8th. — This is the only machine capuLle of sawing equally well both 
 Shingles and Heading. 
 
 9th. — By means of screws the gauge is easily and quickly adjusted, 
 so that tight barrel heading can be saweil with great facility, as tlilck at 
 the sap edge and as thin at the heart as desired. 
 
 10th. — Any desired taper for Shingles is readily obtained. 
 
 11th. — The position of the operator is such that he can at all times 
 see both the block and tb*^ Shingle or Heading he is sawing. I>y the ad- 
 vantage thus given him, and the convenient arrangement fur dogging and 
 undogging the block, he can, wJien necessary to avoid knots, shakes, &c , 
 shift the block, and thus make a better rpiality of work than could be 
 made by sawing through and through, regardless of defects in the stock. 
 
 As a machine for sawing barrel heading of all kinds', the Law 
 Patent stands unrivalled. Hundreds of these machines are in operation 
 in the United States, Canada, Spain and the West Indies, and the favor 
 with which they are received by mill men steadily increases; 
 
 It is thoroughly adapted to working in all kinds of timber, having 
 been extensively opo'ated in stocks of frozen Hemlock, Cypress, Curled 
 Maple and Oak, botli green and seasoned, and it proved itself fully equal 
 to working up such timber. The feed being controlled entirely by the 
 will of the operator, and the work being at all times in full view, the 
 Law machine possesses a great advantage over all others when operating 
 in anything but the clearest timber. On an average it will saw more 
 pieces per day, wiiii less injury to the saw, than is possible when the 
 machine feeds itself regar-Uess of inequalities of stock. Ine gain in 
 quantity and quality of work done, comes from two reasons: 1st. The 
 bolt and carriage travel away from the saw only enough to just clear 
 it, making the travel considerably less Avlien the bolt is narrow. A self- 
 feed carriage generally travels the whole distance necessary for the Avidest 
 bolt, wliethcr the on« being sawed be narrow or wide. This lost time 
 amounts to many pieces in a day. 2nd. Instead of having to set the 
 feed slo^v enough to prevent injury to the saw, in dangerous timber, the 
 Law machine can be eased through the knots, <^'c., and lost tiino made up 
 in the clear portions. The result is a good avei-ago and smoother work. 
 
 In cases where it is nut desire;! to lose time by stopping the machine 
 for the purpose of filing, &e., it will be found very advantageous to have 
 two saws fitted to the machine, one saw being at work on the machine 
 while the other is be ^ng filed. AVhen a machine is ordered to befitted 
 with two or more saws, we fit so that in changing saws it is not neces- 
 sary to re-set the gauge, so that to change saws requires a stoppage of but 
 a few momentp.

 [Fig. 2.] 
 IN SETTING UP OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING 
 
 DIR£€TIOI\S AilfD GE1V£RAJL REinARKSI. 
 
 A few simple directions, if carefully followed, will enable almost any one to set 
 up and run the Law machine succe.xsfully. 
 
 Having prepared a substantial platform, of the shape of the letter L, 10 or 12 
 inches high, place the frame upon it so that all the feet will hear and the Shingles or 
 Heading fall to the floor without striking the platform. The pbtform must be large 
 enough for the operator to stand upon it. In case the machine is set up so it is 
 conrenient to allow the Heading or Shingles tu fall through the floor to the lower 
 story, then this platform is not needed. Put the slide (F) and arm (E) — Fig. 2 — in 
 place, and connect them ])y mt'ans of the small nut on tke end of the screw (Q). Bo 
 iiot move the large lock nut on the screw (Q). Then place the piece (Y) on the top of 
 
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINES. 
 
 55 
 
 ■the frame. Next hanpj the swing frame {1)—Fig. 1— on the wrist (Y), letting the 
 .gibs under the grate embrace the slide (F). Take off the caps, wipe the boxes clean 
 And put a little oil in them. Wipe the shaft clean and place it carefullj in its 
 bearings and replace the caps, and do not screw down too tight. Screw down the 
 set-screws iu the pulley tight as they will bear. Wipe clemi the end of tlie sliaft and 
 the face of the small collar on it, also the eye and recess in the saw collar, and place 
 the saw on the shaft, making the punch marks on the end of the shaft and saw collar 
 agree. Then put in the three screws around the centre hole of the saw and screw 
 them carefully and equally up togclhcr. 
 
 Level the saw arbor by plumbing the oumde of the saw ; then make all the feet 
 of the frame bear firm, and bolt secur(;ly down. 
 
 Hold a rule on the swing, opposite the centre of the saw and with the end 
 touching it, and vibrate the swing, noting whether the nile leaves the saw or crowds 
 against it in passing from the teetli to the centre of the saw. The end of the rule so 
 held should dear the saw about one thiity-seoond of an inch. 7'his is effected by 
 loosening the large lock nut on the screw Q at the back end of the slide F, and by 
 means of this screw the end of the slide is moveil towards the saw, or away from it, 
 which governs the direction of the njotion of the swing frame 2 — Flff. 1. The lock 
 nut on screw Q should be always left tight. In sawing green or damp timber, the 
 slide F should be adjusted so that the swing will dear a little more than above 
 stated. A little observation will bring this all right. 
 
 Any slight "running" of the saw while working, caused by imperfect filing or 
 setting, can be remedied by ndjusting the slide with this set screw. 
 
 Bolt the gauge J to the post at such a height that the centre of it will be at the 
 centre of tlie block and see that the en is of the slides do not come nearer than within 
 about an inch of the edge of the saw. 
 
 Put the saw-dust box under the saw and secure it with a set screw provided for 
 that purpose. 
 
 Adjust the sheet-iron separator 4 on the frame so thai it will not quite touch the 
 .saw, but as near as possible, with the back end a little the farthest off. 
 
 Having filed and set the saw, put ou the curved guard at the back of the saw, 
 and attach the weight D to tne swing. Finally jdace the round brace on the top of 
 the post and secure the upi)er end at the jiuiut Y, with the stt screw provided for 
 that purpose, 
 
 TO SET FOR HEADING. 
 
 The levers B and the arm which goes into the slot in the bottom of the gauge, 
 are turned down and not used. 
 
 Screw up the set screws in the post so as to houl the gauge firm, and adjust 
 the thickness by tlie four set screws passing through the gauge into the ends of 
 the small slides. 
 
 The end of a rule held on the swing and against the sides of the gauge 
 should, in passing towards the saw, clear them a very little, so as to prevent 
 friction against the block. 
 
 For sawing tight barrel heading, place the block in the swing frame, with the 
 sap side towards the saw ; draw back the ends of the slides on the gauge nearest the 
 saw, and advance the ends farthest from the saw, until the proper thickness at the 
 •sap edge and heart is obtained. If greater thickness of sap edge is desired than can 
 be obtained by this, then twist the gauge round by chipping away the rib provided 
 for this purpose, on the edge of the post nearest the saw. 
 
 TO SET FOR SHINGLES. 
 Secure the gauge as before. The centre of vibration of the gauge should be 
 placed at a distance above the top of the ribs on the swing equal to half the length of 
 the Shingle. This can be done by moving the bolt in the slot of the post and raising 
 or lowering the shifter to correspoml. Slack the two sere in the post which go 
 against the back of the gauge. Bolt the shifter to the front of the leg, so that the 
 levers B—Fig. 2— shall engage -with the sni^ll dog at the bottom of the grate, and 
 the arm at the other end of the small lock shaft shall move fredy in the slot M and 
 
 strike neither end, i. i 4.4. e 
 
 Get the required amount of taper by moving tlie pin in slot B, at the bottom ot 
 
 of the lever B. To increase the ta[)er, move it from the saw, and the reverse to 
 
 •decrease the taper. At the same time the hub at the right hand end of the rock

 shaft S shoulil be moved 8lif,'htly arouiul, if the lever strikes the end of the slot 
 in the gauge Adjust tli% slot at the bottom of the gauge so that the shifter will 
 always work freely, in bolting the shifter to the frame be careful to let the lip oii 
 the left hand come against the frame. When adjusted so that the vibrations of the 
 swing give the proper vibrations to the gauge for the desired thickness of point and 
 and butt, then screw up the two screws in the post just enough to have the gauge, 
 in vibrating, come fairly against tlieir ends alternately. Do not screw them through 
 so far as to strain the shifter each time. A littie practice will make all easy.

 TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. 
 
 the 
 
 Tlie block to be sawed is jdaced in the swing carriage 2, against the gauge J.. 
 
 dog H is brought down on ihc block by means of the handle C, and by pressing 
 on C the block is securely held in place ami the swing moved past the saw, making a 
 Shingle or piece of Heading, as the case may be. The weight L) draws tlie carriage 
 and block back. Then the dog is slightly raised and the block pressed ngainstUho 
 gauge by the left hand and knee of the operator, and the dog secured as before. The 
 block sliding on the ribs of the bottom of the swing, moves very easily. The small 
 dog attached to the bottom of the swing engages alternately with che two small levers 
 B on the rock shaft S which vibrates the gauge J for sawing Shingles. For sawing 
 Heading, the "ock shaft and small dog at bottom of swin^^ are not used. By means 
 of .T, small handle, not shown in cuts, the operator is enabled to cut two or »ior« points 
 or butts successively from the same end of the block. This attachment is so placed, 
 near the handle C, that the operator t an control it with facility and ease, without 
 quitting his hold of the swing handle C.

 The Wheels are fully warranted and Mr. Cole will give every pur- 
 chaser the following Guarantee, namely : — 
 
 All my Wheels are warraur,ed to give perfect Batisfactlon, when put In and 
 run under competent management, and if on Starting, the Wheel does not work 
 flatisfactorlly. the purchaser may at once return it, and I will pay the freight tooth 
 ^ays. and refund all moneys paid thereon. ,^ ««,„

 Amonq the many qualities loUcli distinguish this Wheel from all 
 ■others, the 'following may he named as a few of the leading aduantages .— 
 
 1st.— It is simple in its construction, and so proportioned as not to 
 be liable to fracture or derangement, eitlier from carriage or use. 
 
 2ud.— It will give the largest per centago of power for the quantity 
 of water used at any given head. 
 
 3rd.— It is not liable to freeze, and anchor ice or rubbish of any 
 
 kind do not effect it. 
 
 4th.— It is suitable for every variety of head, high or low, and can 
 in all oarses be made to use the whole head or fall. 
 
 5th.— Back water has no effect on it, as it works equally well in or 
 
 -out of it. 
 
 Gth.— It works equally well when placed vertically or horizontally. 
 
 7th._It occupies less space than any other wheel of equal power, 
 and can be placed inside or outside the mill, as may suit the convenience 
 
 of the place or owner. 
 
 8th.— The actual discharge of water is 40 per cent, less than the 
 
 theoretical. 
 
 9th.— It is not liable to get out of repair, and can be set up by any 
 competent millwright in two or three days. 
 
 10th.— It can be adapted to existing machinery with ease and 
 economy, and can replace a breast or other wheel without any material 
 
 alteration. 
 
 11th.— It runs very steady, is easily regulated, and will yield a 
 larger per centage of power than any other wheel in use.

 Trom the maBS of correspondence and recommendations I have by me respect- 
 ing the superiority of my Wheels, I submit the following 
 
 Toronto, February 13, 1869. 
 
 Mr. a. D. Colb, Toronto, 
 
 SiR,— We have pleasure in testifying to tlie supe- 
 rior quaiiiies of your waier wlieels. You put one 
 4 feet in diiimeter into our SireetHvlllo mill.s, where 
 we have 9J feet hoa<l in piace of a breast wheel. 
 This GIVES pbkfkct Hati-spactio.v. You also put one 
 3 t'eot in diameter in our Pine Grove Mills, where 
 ■wo have twonty-two feet head, in jilaeo of an ovor- 
 ohot wheel. This also (jivks i'Khfkct satisfaction. 
 In both casks wk do mokk work with thr samk 
 WATKR, and the whole cost did not exceed what ^^e 
 should have had to expend in rcpainng the old 
 wheels. Besides the co-st of kkkping youk whkkl 
 IN REPAIR IS LITTLE OR NOTHING. They are not 
 cdected by frost, and will work well in back water. 
 Yo'i are at liberty lo refer intending purchas-'crs to 
 
 their Lrffbl Watkk Wherls (to take the place of 
 two aiaiiT Wheels, which we removedX with the 
 understand ln»!, that the wheel which proved a 
 failure should be taken out. Uii trial we found the 
 Samsox Wheel to do more work, r8i.\(i loa iNCHKa 
 
 LK.X8 WATKH THAN THE LSFFEL WHEEL. We at ODOO 
 
 ordered another of the Samson Wlieels (lo take the 
 place of the Letl'el Wheel), ami now have it at work 
 and doing well. We shall be ploa«cd at any time lo 
 inform parties regarding the wheels.

 I hereby certify that I have had one of Mr. A. D. 
 Cole's Samson Wheel.s, Twklvr inches in diameter, 
 working under a head of 75 feet, dhivi.vg a saw mill 
 AND joinkr's factory, for the last twelve montlis, 
 and from its great power and steadv motion. I can 
 recommend it to any one as one of the best 
 
 WHEELS THAT HAS EVER BEEN PUT CP IN THIS PART OF 
 THE COONTRY. 
 
 I could recommend Mr. Cole as a man who 
 understands bis business as a millwright, and a per- 
 son who is capable ol getting up mills upon the best 
 and cheapest plans.

 .Mr. a. li. CoLK, 
 
 Dk.arSir,— I have great pleasure in confirming 
 the last certificate I gave you in regard to your 
 Water Wheel. Since tli'U I have put seven of your 
 wheels into my saw mills, for driving both g:ing3 
 and circular, which are a (juKATiMruovKMKNT iioth

 I have a'so lately jmt one ot yonr 4 feet wheels 
 into my l.orottc pai'Cr niilLs, lo rei)lace a Tutilo

 about one-ihird the water we formerly used. You

 Mr. a. 1\ Cole, 
 
 Dear Sir,— Di answer to your enquiry, how we 
 like your Water Wheels, we be.; to say that it gives 
 us great satisfaction to stile, we ark perfkctlt 
 
 SATISFIED WITH THE WHEKLS. AS THEY HAVE FULLT 
 
 ( oME IP TO WHAT YOU PROMISED. OuT experience 
 eads us to believe, that there is not a better 
 
 WATER WHEEL HANUFACllKED IN CANADA, EITHER 
 
 FOR HIGH OR LOW HEADS. Back water does not efl'ect 
 them in the least, which is a great advantage over 
 any other wheel we have u.sed. You can show this 
 to any person requiring a water wheel, and we shall 
 be most happy to give pirticulars. 
 
 Wo remain, yours very truly,

 exact results of the test between the LefTel Wheel 
 and Cole's Samson Turbine, at Messra Tuttle, Date

 September last, I have pleasure in handing you the 
 following: 
 
 The wheels were put in side by side, and so 
 arranged that thorough test might be made. Ow

 EEPAIPtS. 
 
 I devote special attention to repairs for all articles of iny manufac- 
 ture, and customers will find it much to their advantage to purchase all 
 their repairs of me, as they will thus secure the exact article wanted, 
 made of the Lest material. I always heep a full su^)ply of the parts 
 likely to be wanted, bored and all ready for immediate shipment. In 
 ordering repairs, parties should be very particular in describing the parts 
 they want, and what ^Fachine they are wanted for, and, if possilde, in 
 what year the ^Afachine was purchased. I can furnish teeth to lit all my 
 Machines, made from the celebrated Low ]Moor Iron, at/7ieii cents each, 
 Avith nut to fit. Ih'kz*^ 
 
 GENERAL WARRANTY. '^ 
 
 All my ]\rachincs are wavranted to he made of good material, and 
 in a workmanlike manner, antl to do good work wlien properly nscd. 
 C istings breaking through a flaw or defect will be replaced without 
 charge. 
 
 Steel ^Mouhl-boards supplied in any quantities. Prices will be foand 
 to compare favorably with any other liou.so in the trade.

 PURCHASERS OF THRESHING MACHINES, MOWERS, AND 
 
 REAPERS, FOR 1872. 
 
 In order to prevent disappointment for tlio season of 1872, I would 
 particularly impress on my friends and patrons, the absolute necessity of 
 giving their orders early. At Harvest time great numbers of ^Machines 
 are being despatched b}' rail, and the consequence of the extreme pressure 
 of work on the Railway Companies, often is, hurried loading and insuf. 
 ficient packing, causing delay and breakage, and consequent heavy losses 
 to the Farmers who are expecting their ^Machines. All this may be 
 avoided and Machines obtained in readiness for Harvest if the Farmers 
 and other users of Machines will send their orders or give them to the 
 Agents without delay, and allow the Machines to be sent in good time. 
 
 Early orders will ensure the safe delivery of well made and well 
 seasoned Machines made before the pressure of Harvest time, and prevent 
 loss and disappointment v/hen the ^Machines are required for use. 
 
 The delivery of all Implements and IMachines properly addressed to 
 the carrier must be considered as delivery to the purchaser. 
 
 '' In the present active and enlightened state of the world, peoplo 
 will supply themselves from the best sources, and the true policy of all 
 producers, whether raw materials or manufactured articles, is not vainly 
 to endeavor to keep other vendors out of the market, but to conquer 
 them in it by the quality and cheapness of their articles." — D. AVebster, 
 1821.

 TO THE PURCHASER. 
 
 Many good Machines fail to work altogether satisfactorily for tho 
 want of a little common care and prudence. KEEP YOUR K^NIVES 
 AIWAYS SHARP. You would not attempt to mow or cradle with a 
 'scythe all battered and bruised and the reasons are just as good why you 
 should not attempt to do so with your machine. You cannot do good 
 Work, either in Mowing or Reaping with a Dull Knife. 
 
 Keep your knives sharp by grinding them on a grindstone (not 
 filing) every ten or twelve p jres in mowing, and as often as dull in 
 '•eaping. 
 
 Use only good OLIVE, LARD, OR SPERM OIL ; oiling fre- 
 quently those parts tha* run the fastest until your machine gets free and

 smootli, and in no case allow your Loxcs to cut out for want of a 
 little oil. ^J'he common FISH or " jNIACIIIXE OIL," as it is called, has 
 very little luLricating (quality, and is not fit to use on any kind of 
 Machinery, as it clogs up your boxes and forms a sticky mass of grease 
 .and dirt upon the gearing ■which prevents the free -working of your 
 machine. 
 
 In some kinds of grass your knives ^A'ill become COATED WITH 
 GUM to such an extent that they will hardly vibrate, if indeed they do 
 not at tiii.i's, stop altogether. TJILS 8H0ULI) NEVER I5E PER- 
 MITTED. Oil your knife and the inside of your guards occasionally, 
 .and it Avill generally keep them Tree from gum ; or keep a pail of water 
 in the field, and wet them when you stop to oil your machine, and when 
 .softened in this way it jiasses off easily. 
 
 IX REAPIXG, be careful to set your rakes evenly, not one dragging 
 ilie tal)le heavily and the others too high. Set the cam around in short 
 .grain, so that the rakes jiass over the cutter-bar before commencing to 
 raise and keep the rakes as low as it Avill do to run them. 
 
 IX LODGED AND SHORT GRAIN, set tiie machine to cut as 
 low as you can and not dull your knives. 
 
 By a proper arranrjemait of tJ(e machine you can moKr. a perfectly 
 ■:dean cut in lodged or short prtiin if the hottom is good. 
 
 Always elevate the hind end of the platform sufficiently to give a 
 free disdiarge of the bundles. The sickle knife, when dull, should 1)C 
 taken out aid ground on the under side (l)cvelling) on a stone. 
 
 It is j>o<t as f\ssontial thai a Siclde Knife should he kept sharp as 
 <i, Smootli Edge. 
 
 Use (JlooD (.)il, Keep your Machine Clean, youu Knives Sharp, 
 THE Nut '^'•giit, and Everything in its PRorEU Place, and you can 
 depend upon having a DURADLi:, GOOD WORKING MACHINE. 
 
 Rear in mind that a machine kept in good order Avill run easier, do 
 better Avork, last much longer, and is every way more satisfactory to the 
 manufacturer and purchaser. 
 
 I HAVE TAKEN UNUSUAL PAINS in procuring material 
 for tlie jiresent season, and have spared neither time nor expense in carry- 
 ing out the details to make a better machine than has been made hereto- 
 fore, and I f(!el confnl'?nt tliat if my patrons use common prudence in 
 their use, that my machim-s Avill not only maintain their present high 
 standard, but must take rank lar in advance of any other make or style of 
 machine.
