farmer's flfpartmnit. Mowing and Reaping Machines. Ti> Farmers scanting 'lachins: As many of you .ire but little, if at ' • quauinted with the Kirby Hart CM IT, and not well acquainted with its merits, or v. ,lli the defects of those machines uhiclt you will be urged to buy, we have thought it advisable to offer you a few timely hints, that you may In prepared to meet any arguments that may fa offered in favor of others and against the K'r hy. While we would tint have you think that there are no other good machines in the mar ket, we want to satisfy you that the Kirby Harvester is the best combined Mower and Reaper iu the world. You will hud tliut there are a great many machines that will come up and have a run for a year, and perhaps for two or three years, which from some radical defect in the principles involved in their construction kill themselves. You will have noticed this is the case with three machines which have suc cessively taken the lead iu their day, but are now evidently fast being laid aside and replac ed by others in which new and more practical principles are disclosed. We refer to M'Cor mick's, Ketchum's and Manny's. It may be that the Kirby will be numbered with these after having its day, but wc hare the faith to believe that there principles involved in it which are absolutely essential to the proper working of a Mower and Reaper, and so long as we have " live men " to watch lor any im provements, and, with the capacity and ability to a poly them, we think we shall not be out stripped in the march of invention, and will keep the KIKBY where it uow is,—at tha head of combined machines. We wish to impress upon you that the Kir by is superior as a Mower to any that is adap ted to mowing only, and it surpasses as u Reap er any adapted to reaping only ; thus, the far mer gets a Mower and Reaper combined in one, at the price of any other first class single uiower or single reaper. Tho M'Cormick and Kelehum machines are so nearly out of mar ket, that it is unnecessary to speak of them here, except to say, that they have rigid linger bars without any means of adapting themselves to uneven surfaces. M'Cormick's can only be successfully used as a Reaper, and Ketchum's only as a mower ; they must soon die a natural death. The Manny machine has bccuto most popular one ever built, but like the others, it must also surrender and fall into the rear rank with the other two. The public now demand a light, strong, durable and easy working com bined machine. Let us see if any of the princi pal machines come up to the demand : It is well known the Manny hangs heavily ou the horses' necks ; has a great side draft ; is very hard for tiie driver in mowing, and stili harder for the raker in reaping, and is a heavy and cumbrous thing to handle. Like all ma chines thut are made principally of wood, it shrinks and swells with every exposure to a dew, shower or hot sun ; the nuts on the bolts that hold the gearing have to be tightened : this, with the warping of the timber, throws the gearing out of place and out of line : it meshes too deep or not deep enough ; t lie fiujge* bar springs—that throws thegnardsout of line —creates friction, spoils the knives, and after one season's work and one winters storage, the machine is often ued up aud hus to be laid aside or expensive repairs made. These are some reasons why a wooden frame machine, (and these remarks apply to all wooden frame machines, as well as Manny's,) though,perhaps, well liked at first, grows worse from the day it is bought. The Kirby is made entirely of iron, except the scat, pole and reaping attachment shrink ing or swelling of these parts does not effect the working of the machine. Tho geaiing will be found precisely in the same position after being run twenty years as when it left the workman's hands. The tinger-bar retains its shape ; the guards are in line, and everything remains without being subject to change by every shower and every dew. There is another class of machines now be ing manufactured somewhat extensively, and urged upon the public as something very su perior and new, and to some extent have bent successful as mowers, but not at all successful as reapers. These are machines with joints in the bar ; the Aultinan k Miller or Buckeye nnd Hubbard's are of this class. To the in experienced aud those who do not study the principles of construction, the folding over the finger-bar nnd having two wheels to carry the frame, so that you can drive off on a trot, is a very attractive thing, and they make up their minds at first sight that that is the best thing forgetting that the primary object of a mower and reaper is to cut grass and grain trell and easily, and the making it of easy transportation and a buggy in which one can ride to church but a secondary consideration ; and, forgetting that the joints will wear very quickly—that the connecting rod is never iu line except work is being done on perfectly level ground, and the two wheels are a necessity where u joint is used, and a very serious objection ton machine. You will see that the joint is that part of the bar which is subject to the greatest strain when striking an obstruction ; that place will wear some, and by taking all the strain that comes on the machine, the outer end of the bar must drop back : this, of course, creates fric tion, and with the fact that the connecting rod is seldom in line, causes the machine to work hard and the longer it is used the less it is liked, and finally it finds its way into the scrap heap. Besides this, you will find a good Reaper has never been made with a joint in the bar. The fact that the two wheels require too much spare to travel in, makes it impossi ble to lay the grain far enough off to be clear of the machine ouits succeeding swath. Hav ing three and some times more wheels on the ground, it is impossible drive the reel with a belt except from the platform wheel ; aud the ; cramping of the eoneetion and the great side ] draft are some of the causes why a Reaper can not be made with a joint in the bar. Heme you will sec that they recommend and warrant j the machine as a Mower, but say " the Reap- ; ing attachment is warranted to work satisfac- I lorily : and should it fail to do so, the attach j ment may be returned and the money paid for ( it refunded.'' i The Kirby, as before remarked, is entirely | of iron ; the peculiar independent action allows the wheel and cutter-bar to work each on it< own ground, to adjust itself perfectly to it without cramping the coaueetion or the cut ters ; '.urn it up-side down, and the connection will bo in line— the draft, is always light and always the same whether on rough or level ground : by a lever at your side yon enn lift | either end or both ends of the bnr, and by •Another you can throw it iu or out of gear—all! the while iu motion. So, as to portability, it j is quite at much so as any one that has the bar I fol* f.r .an Kf: tbe bar or. the email j wi.tel ami -tart all without slopp'ng to tlirow tuporor to tlirow it out of gear. We au thorize our Agents to warrant it both as a Mower and Reaper— >'<s a perfect combine/I Machine We have never had a man say lie liVrt ti Kirby less after than before u-in s t slid we bare not sold one where it could be, exchanged for any other kind. The man who bought the fi-st one made, and the only one in I 5:65, now ti.inks it is the best machine ever made, aud the longer he uses it the better he iikea it. On the Manny and Rome other machines, the raker when Ri-apittg, stands on the back and cuter corner of Ihe platform, leaning with . his breast against a support, and with a fork pushes tiie grain off at the side. Riding thus on the small w heel which supports the platform I lie receives a blow on his breast evt-iy time j the wheel passes over a tuft of grass, stone, or : drops into a hole or dead furrow. This he can stand a short time, which, added to the severe ; strain of forcing the grain off with an unnat ; urnl motion, makes his position an unromfor f table one, but not more so for him than for j the team ; for every time;the platform wheel t drops into a li tie or strikes any obstruction whatever, the pole is thrown against the left : horse's side. Instances nre numerous where ! horses have been actually killed by this con- I st*ut thumping on their sides. By a patent just secured, we place onr raker i directly behind the horses on a comfortable i spring seat, his weight directly on the driving i wheel, where it is the most easily carried, and I with a rake of peculiar construction, he can, ; bv a quarter turn of the arms and a perfectly : natural movement, lay the grain in good con dition for binding, entirely ont of the way of ; the ma bine on its succeeding swath. We have given you a few of tlie leading fea tnrcs of the Kirby Machine and the reasons why it is superior to others. We might give many more, but we believe onr Harvester will ! demonstrate in the field, where it shows to the : best advantage, that it is the most durable, 1 simple and easily managed, the ieast liable to get ont of repair, and if broken by accident, the mo-t rem i y mended,and altogether the most eeomicnl machine for the farmer to buy ; and although there are some machines that are i good Mowers and some good Reapers, there i are none that are better Mowers 01 better Reapers, and none that are equal as a combin ed Mower and Reaper to KIKBY'S AMERICAN II AUVESTF.R. Farmers will be urged by travelling agents, for other Machines, to buy of them :—all we can ask of those not acquainted with the Kir | by Harvester, is not to buy any other kind till ! at ieast, they can see our Harvester work.

Fell, Gather, and Sticb in a superior style, finishing each seam by tlieir own opera tion, without recourse to the hand-needle, as is required by other machines. They will do better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress, even if she works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably, the best Machines in the market for family sewing, on account of their simpli city, durability, ease of management, and adaption to all varieties of family sewing—executing either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and without special adjustment. As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their Machines, the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Compa ny beg leave to respectfully refer to the following TESTIMONIALS. " Having had one of Grover A Baker's Machines in my family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in commending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which it is designed—Family Sewing."— Airs. Joshua wife of Rev. Dr. Leavit, Editor of Y. Inde pendent. " I confess myself delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has been in my family for several months. It lias always been ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and is easily adapted to every Taricty ot' family sewing, by simply changing the spools of thread."—Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor of S. F. Christian Advocate. " After trying several good machines, 1 preferred yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease with which it is managed as well as the strength and du rability of the seam. After long experience. 1 feel com petent to speak in this manuer, nnd to confidently recom- I mend it for everv variety of family sewing."— Mrt.E. B. Spoonei-, wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star. " I have used a Grover A Raker Machine for two years, and I have found it adapted to all kinds'of family sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have l>een worn without the giving away of a stitch. The Machine is easily kept in order, and easilv used.— Mrs. A. B.lVhip ple, wife of Rev. Geo. Ifhipple, Sew York. '•Your Bewing Machine has been in nge in my family the past two years, and the ladies request me to give yon their testimonials to its perfect adaptness, as well .'is labor-saving qualities in the performance of family and household sewing— Robert Boot man, Sew York. " For icveral months we have used Grover A Baker's Bewing Machine, and have come to the conclusion that every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly done, would be most fortunate in possessing one of these reliable and indefatigable "iron needle women." whose combined qualities of beauty, strength and simplicity, are invaluable.— J. IV. Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris, Editor of the Home Journal. Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, an American gentleman, now resident in Sydney, New South Wales, dated iannary 12,1858 : " I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which there were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one of Grover A Baker's Machines, and a sir.gle seam of that has ontstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a needle and twine."
