ACROSTIC.

W hen Time one day ran far away A nd left his glass behind him, T he lazy grains took little pains E 'en once to seek to find him. B oiled down awhile a golden pile B right in the sun to gutter, U ntil to duat, return they must B educed to worthless litter. V et Time must know- the hours that go, W ith footsteps blithe and merry, A nd when the Sun, a race to run, T hrough clouds of gold* and cherry, C limbs up the sea and.'rises free, H e draws his Waterbury. The Zealandia brings the first of the' Buckeye Light Mowers and Keapers. These machines are too well known to need any description, and their strength and lightness of draught are universally acknowledged. Much has been said of the English machines, because they are so much heavier, and on that account, presumably, more durable. This is not the case. They are considerably heavier both in dead weight and draught ; but that they are more durable, nobody who knows the different machines will contend. In Queensland, the colony in which in all probability most mowers are annually sold, the Buckeye takes the lead ; and a hundred indisputable testimonials might be published from that colony, but we withhold them in order to let New Zealand speak. The following letter is from a Canterbury agriculturist of undoubted standing and integrity, and the record is one that will be very hard to beat :— " Waterton, South Canterbury, " 9th June, 1888. " About five yearß ago I bought a Buckeye Mower, and since then have cut over four thousand acres with her — the first year alone I cut over one thousand. I have on several occasions cut where mowers of other makers have had to bo pulled out, not being able to get through the undergrowth. After doing the above work with my machine, «he is still in good order. As for draught, she is the lightest I have ever seen, and I would recommend any farmer requiring a mower to buy a Buckeye, and he will be satisfied . — Yours trul v, "A. Dawson." MESSRS. T. & S.
