I have the honor to be, - Gentlemen, hy Your obedient serv’'t, A. G. ARCHIBALD, Lieut.-Governor. You will please particularly notice how peretally © ‘this document is worded.— “* Should he be called upon to act he will | vonfirm the selections made by the Half- | breeds themselves.” Now, under the French Half-breeds . telling him that he ean’t settle there—that is a Half-breed reservation; and the immigrant is of course { DISGUSTED, and talks of going home, and I am sorry to say quite a uumber have-returned and others have gone back to Dacotah and Minnesota, where no reservations and no- tices stare them in the face at every turn, and where the first settler has a prior claim even to school reservations and rail- road gfants. Something to remedy this state of affairs must be done, and that quickly, or emigration will speedily stop. There is at present INTENSE DISSATISFACTION amongst the Inte arrivals at the way things are conducted, and if no remedy can be had a rush from the country will undoubt- edly takeplace,a thing deeply to be deplor- ed, as it would give the French Metis and Hudson Bay Company a long lease of power.—Cor.

WE DESIRE TO CALL ATTENTION TO OUR NUMBER ONE AND TWO BUCKEYE COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER, With Johnson's Self Rake, Improved for 1871. We believe this Machine, as we now build It, to be the most perfect Reaper and tevwes ever yet offered to-the public of Canada. Among its many advantages we call attention to the following :— ‘ It has no Gears on the Driving Wheels, * Enabling it to pass over marshy or — without clogging up the gearing thereby renderin it less liable to breakage. It is furnished wit Four Knives, Two for Mowing and Two for Reaping, one of which has a sickle edge for cutting ripe, clean grain, the other a smooth edge for cutting grain in which there is grass or seed clover. It has the malleable guards both on the: Mower Bar and Reaper Table, with best cast steo Ledger Plates. It is also furnished with our New Patent Tilting Table for Picking up Lodged Grain. his is the only really valuable — Table’, offered on any combined Reaper’and Mower. The Table can he way cual aelaal or lowered by the Driver in his Seat without stopping his Team. This is one of the most important improvements effected in any Machine during the past two years. ANY ONE OR ALL OF THE ARMS OF THE REEL Can be made to act as Rakes at the option of the Driver, by a Lever readily operated by his foot. The Cutting apparatus is in front of the Machine, and therefore whether Reaping or Mowing, the entire work of the Machine is under the eye of the Driver while guiding his team. This Table is so constructed as to 2 * Gather the Grain into » Bundle bei i leaves the Table, and a in a more compact form than any other Reel Rake, . This Table is attached to the Machine both infront and rear of thé'Driving Wheel, which en- ables it to pass over rough ground with much greater ease ani Ices injury to the Table. The Grain Wheel Axis is on a line with the axle of the Drive Wheel, which cnabjes itto turn the corners readily. The Rakes are driven by Gearing instead of Chains, and therefore have a steady uniform motion, gtain. The Gearing is very simple, strong and durable. The Boxes are all lined with BABBIT METAL. The Parts are all numbered, so that. the REPAIRS can be ordered by telegraph or ‘otherwise, by simply giving the number of the part wanted. There is no side Draught in either reaping or mowing, and the itechine ts 80 perfectly balanced that there is no pressure on the horses’ necks either when reaping or mowing. All our malleable castings, who-e they are subject to much strain, have been Twice annealed, thereby rendering them both tough and strang. OUR JOHNSON RAKE > | Is so constructed as to raise the cam so far above the Grain Table that the Grain does not interfere with the machinery ‘of the Rakes or Reels. —_ We make the above machines in two sizes: No. One, large size, jor Farmers who hat ve a large amount to reap. No. Two, medium size, Sor Farmers hictag more use fora Mower than a reper With the exception of difference in size, these Machines are similar in every | No, 2 Machine supplicd a want hereto fore unfilled, viz :—A medium between the Jun.
