4- For Heaping and Gather ing the Crop. 
Smith's Reaping Machine— acts with revolving cutters ; pro- 
pelled by 2 horses; cuts down from 8 to 10 imperial 
acres per day. From the simplicity of construction of 
this machine, and the excellence of its work, under ordi- 
nary favourable circumstances, it is likely to come into 
general use so soon as better cultivation shall banish the 
convex ridges and rough uneven surface, which still so 

frequently occur. . - .M 0 « 

Bell's Reaping Machine— cast-iron frame ; acts on t'ne clipping- 
principle ; cuts from 8 to 10 imperial acres pry day : pro- 
pelled by 2 horses. Has been a good deal employed in 
the Fife and Dundee districts, where it is much ap- 
proved, and found very profitable, ~~„„„„ 45 00 
Drummond's Reaping Scythe, iron-handiea. One roan with 
this Scythe, will cut down from 1£ to 2 imperial acres 
per day. The corn may be cut out from the standing 
crop when not very much lodged, otherwise cutting in 
is better, though some prefer cutting in at all times. 
When the rake is taken off, it is equally adapted for 
hay cutting. From the very satisfactory accounts which 
have been received, and which may be seen at the Mu- 
seum, from various districts, where this Reaping Scythe 
was extensively used last season, it ro'ay with full 
confidence be recommended to the attention of Agricul- 
turists. ---..„_„„„„„„„ o j 3 0

Besides the articles enumerated in this General List, W. D. & Sox» 
supply all other varieties usually required in the respective departments, 
to which every thing new and improved is added, so soon as it appears 
or can be procured. In these respects the Agricultural Museum on 
their premises affords very great facilities, which it is their assiduous 
endeavour to avail themselves of, for maintaining at all times an assort- 
ment of the most select and valuable description. 

Orders executed with care and despatch, on the lowest terms. There 
is regular and cheap conveyance of goods, by land and water, to the 
ihipping ports of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
