THE BUCKEYE HARVESTER. ♦—
FIRST TRIAL OF THE SEASON. The first trial of the season was held on Monday afternoon on Mr James Smellie’s farm. North Taieri, when the Lowdown Buckeye was set to negotiate a heavy crop_ of green oats sown down with rye. Having yoked np a pair of Mr Smellie’s well known draughts, Mr Perceval (the expert in charge) started on a preliminary round, followed by several well-known Taieri farmers, each of whom watched its performance narrowly. Its catting, elevating, and binding was greatly admired, and,- although such a crop was naturally heavy to cut and difficult to handle, two horses worked the machine all through without the slightest sign of fatigue. Every farmer present expressed surprise at the faultless quality of work done, many of them saying that it effectually disposed of the assertions of some of its competitors that the Lowdown was at a disadvantage unless on hillside ground. Two years ago the hillside capabilities of tbe Lowdown Buckeye were pooh-poohed by agents, who have since been obliged by its performances to concede to all we claim, and to take a very back seat in this department of harvesting. Henoe, as a last resort, their assertion that the heavy typical crops on the Plains would prove too much for it, and hence our selection of the earliest, greenest, and most difficult crop we could find for the purpose of demonstrating the correctness of tbe judges’ decision at Melbourne Exhibition, Jamestown (S.A.), and the Victorian Grand National, that the Lowdown Buckeye was undoubtedly the machine of the age. Several well-known farmers having taken turn after turn without missing a sheaf or delivering a single Indifferently shaped handle, its construction was explained, and its simplicity created general astonishment. A testimonial certifying lightness of draught, ease of management, perfect work and delivery, was signed by Messrs Smellie, Charters, Haggen, Williamson, Smith/ Morgan, and gthers, the latter purchasing the machine. Another trial will be held at Blenheim on Friday on a crop said to be the most difficult in the province of Marlborough. Every farmer should own a Buckeye, which will enable him to crop every ploughable acre on bis estate. Agents and duplicates everywhere. E. W. MILLS & CO. (Ld.), Wellington.
