The above cut represents the celebrated Buckeye Mower, 
with Bar down, reftdy for work. 
In the cut of last month, the Mower was shown with Bar 
folded for moving from field to field, or driving on the road. 
The advantages of the Buckeye over all other mowers must be 
evident to every one of <»vj erience in this class of implements. 
The two driving-wheels, the flexible and folding bar, adapting 
itself to all surfaces, either end rising or falling independent of 
the other, and entirely independent from the working of the 
frame; the lever at the right of the driver,enabling him to raise 
the cutters to pass obstructions, or over mown grass : the ease 
with which it is thrown out of gear; the ease with which it 
backs, throwing itself out of gear; its light draft, entire free¬ 
dom from side draft; and its safety for the driver, combine to 
ive it all the desirable features required in a PERFE T mow;!'. 
We Challenge the World to produce its Equal. 
At the greatest trial of Machines ever held in this country 
continuing through the whole week, at Syracuse, N. Y., 185". 
the United States Agricultural Society awarded it the 
First Premium Grand Gold Medal and Diploma as best 
Mower, in competition with,Manny’s, Kctchum’s, Allen’s, 
Kirby’s, Hallenbeck’s, Burrall’s, Heath’s and others. 
The practical working of the Buckeye during the harvest of 
1858, more than sustained the Committee’s decision. 
We would invite all wishing to purchase the BEST MOW¬ 
ING MACHINE to examine t ho BUCKEYE. Orders should 
be sent early to secure machines. 
Circulars, with testimonials, forwarded on application.
