g AMUELSON AND CO’S. REAPERS AND STRING BINDERS, This eminent firm of Agricultural Implement Engineers, after devoting several years attention to the production of a first-class machine, now offer their Harvester, claiming that it is brought to the highest state of perfection that experience has yet rendered possible. The woodwork of this machine is of selected English Ash, the castings are of extra quality, the fingers of patent welded steel and iron* 1 and the workmanship throughout, of the high quality of English machinery. The knotting apparatus employed by Samuelson and Co. is such that it is impossible for the knot to be missed, and its operation so perfect that it will not fail to tie the bands securely. The report of a trial, under auspices of the Otago A. and P. Association, at Abbotsford, Otago, on 17th February last, says: “This machine turned out its work in a very superior manner The sheaves were well balanced, securely tied, and delivered with perfect regularity ; the cut was straight as an arrow’s flight; and the machine appeared to travel over the ground remarkably easy, so that good rate of speed was maintained. A hempen cord was used for tying. The spectators were extremely well pleased with this machine. To all appearance it would have finished its plot first, or, at any rate, about the same time as the M’Cormack, but for an accident which occurred when only about two rounds had to be made. When going through a little gully, the ‘swayboard,’ or ‘vibrator* as some term it, broke, and the machine was helplessly stuck up, so far as the competition was concerned. ’ The verdict of the judges was as follows : “ Samuelson did not finish allotment; Osborne, 12 points; Wood, 23 points ; Robertson’s Deering, 14 points; D. Reid’s Deering, 18 points ; M’Cormack, 23 points. We, the undersigned judges appointed by the , Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association to judge the twine binders, have come to the conclusion that in the crop cut to-day the work dona by the Wood , and M’Cormack machines, and by the Samuelson, until the time of the accident, was as near perfection as well could be.” [Signed by the seven judges], Mr Samuelson junior, who visited the colonies during the recent harvest to examine into special circumstances and wants, has returned to England, end will effect such small alterations as the experience of _ his visit may ’suggest, and we have confidence in recommending the SAMUELSON HARVESTER, as the best in the market for the next season. As only a limited number of machines will be shipped, to prevent disappoihtment, intending •purchasers would do well to communicate with us not later than June next., JNO.
