MONITOR MOWER. 
DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTACES OF 
The Empire and Monitor Lawn Mewers, 
Persons in want of First Class Mowers should examine the mertts of Walker's 
Patents, recently invented. The Manufacturers claim several emportant improve- 
menis over other Lawn Mowers ; the following are the most important : 
The Empire Mower. 
Ist. The Empire Mower is so constructed that all its parts are working parts, and all covered, 
so that no clogging can take place. There are no traction wheels to oil, they being secured — 
by set screws on the central shaft, rotating the same as the cutter reel, which materially reduces 
friction. 
2d. It is self-oiling, the oil chamber on central shaft holding oil sufficient to last a week, 
which is a great advantage, as some Mowers require oiling every fifteen minutes. 
3d. There are no small complicated Pawls, but a substantial arrangement for this purpose 
with few parts, and so simple that any ordinary person can take it apart and put it together 
again in a few minutes. 
4th. It has a guide roller attached to the handle, and, by sliding the bar which holds the 
wheel, up or Gown, regulates the cut perfectly. 
‘ Sth. It has a Sharpening arrangement which is perfect in operation and simple in construc- 
tion. It makes the knives when dull, equal to being re-ground at the works. 
6th. The last, but not least, new feature, is a machine constructed so simple, with its parts 
interchangeable and lettered, that it is like two truck wheels rolling on the ground so easy that 
a child can work it. 
The Menitor Mower. 
Is a machine with one light traction wheel and two guide wheels in front, will cut long or short 
grass, also, works equally as well on rough ground as on smooth, it is of light weight and can 
be run at a high rate of speed without much fatigue to the operator. This mower will be found 
very effectual for cutting around shrubbery and ornamental borders or flower-beds; also, in 
cemeteries, they mnst come generally in use. Each part of this Mower is interchangeable, and 
numbered duplicates of the parts can be had by sending the number to any agent or to the fac- 
tory. The knives of these Mowers are made of best cast-steel, tempered by a new process, and 
every machine is warranted to work satisfactorily on any ordinary Lawn.
