THE BUCKEYE HARVESTER ALWAYS AHEAD.
Advices received from our agents in Western i Australia report that the great Farmers’ Field Trial of reapers and Binders at Perth has been won by the Buckeye, Hornsby 2nd, McCormick 3rd. , Jamestown, S.A.—The judges,in award, ing the Buckeye Lowdown the prize, added a special note. “We are of opinion that this is the machine of the future. Messrs James Smith and Son, of Greenfield, Otago, writes-“We are pleased to sav that your Lowdowns give us unqualified satisfaction. No machine is any good to us unless it will do as good wor k on the fittest hillside as on the plain, and the Bucueye is the only machine we know of that can do this. We cut our entire crop last season with four of them, and you can Bend us two more thisseason." (This makes ten Buckeyes purchased by Messrs James Smith and Son during the last four harvests.) Mr E. T. Claridge, manager for J. R. Campbell, Esq., Southbridge, writes yesterday--“ Please book my order for three Ll«ht Folding Elevator Buckeyes for delivery to Southbridge Station. The two previously purchased from you have been in use two years, and have given me every satisfaction. They are very light in draught, and do really first-class work, leaving a clean, even stubble ” Read what a South Canterbury farmer says 4000 acres—Still in Good Order. Waterton, South Canterbury, June 9th, 1889. About five years ago I bought a Buckeye Mower, and since then have cut over 4000 acres with her -the first year alone I cut over 1000. I have on several occasions cut where mowers of other makers had to be pulled out, not being able to get through the undergrowth. After doing the above work with my machine she 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 truly, A. DAWSON. Buy the Buckeye and save on the first cost as well as about twenty.five per cent on each duplicate required. E. W. MILLS & CO. (Ltd.), Wellington. A
