Direct Draft Eureka Mower. 
We proclaim for the information of hay-producers that 
the Direct Draft Eureka Mower can not be equaled 
by any side-cut Mower on the following important points: 
1st. Time of cutting. 2d. Power expended. 3d. Quality 
of work, which is the condition of the stubble, and the way 
the grass is left for curing. 4th. Time of curing the grass- 
no tedder to be used. 5th. Quality of hay. 6th. Economy of 
cost in gathering a hay crop. 7th. Durability of Machine. 
It is highly important to all hay-producers who are unac¬ 
quainted with the Eureka that this fact— the very great 
superiority of Direct Draft over Side-Cut— should 
be settled in their minds by a thorough and exhaustive com¬ 
parative test trial before competent judges. 
Therefore, We, The AVilber’s Eureka Mower and Reaper 
Manufacturing Company, will present any Manufacturer 
$ 1,000 who will meet us in a trial during the harvest ot 
1873, and succeed in equaling the Eureka Mower on the 
above-named points by using a Side-Cut Mower. 
The unsuccessful party to pay all expenses.

America to be cut, cured, and stored in the barn in one day.

Samuel V. Miller, Milo, N. Y., says: “ I went all over my 
wheat in the spring, before sowing plaster and grass seed, 
and have no doubt it increased my crop onejourth, my 
neighbors say one half, besides fitting the ground for clover 
seed in the most perfect manner.” 
Byram Moulton, Alexander, N. Y., says: ‘‘I used the 
Thomas Harrow 7 on my wheat last spring, and raised 1,600 
bushels on 50 acres, wdiile my neighbors’ wheat, with equal 
promise without harrowing, yielded only 10 bus. per acre.”
