Advice to Farmers.

BUY THE BUCKEYE HARVESTER.

Farmers who remember the really splendid work of the light folding elevator Buckeye at the Timaru field trial last season will very well know that for lightness of draught and really first-class work this machine oaunot be beaten. It has won a legion of trials, and at the last Australian trial last season carried off the first prize, beating Hornsby, M'Cormick, Massey, Brandford, and all competitors. Having opened a New Zealand branch in Dunedin, this machine will be sup*; plied direct to the farmer, carriage paid to bis railway station, for £47 10s. BUCKEYE LOWDOWN. This machine has been greatly improved and its capacity increased in every way. Pro* sent machine cuts five and a half feet, has ; longer binder arm, adjustable wind screen, and the Appleby knotter. 'Without inoreas* ing its draught, several of the parts have been materially strengthened, and as built for the coming season, no binder can tackle a heavier or more difficult crop, or, in fact, handle any kind of grain on any kind of country more creditably. The machine which consistently realised a higher price than any other binder in the market last season, and which sold, out first, was the Lowdown Buckeye, losing the sale of quite ICO machines by short supply. The Lowdown was never beaten, taking the Carterton first, Masterton first, Wairarapa and East Coast gold medal, Gore gold medal, and easily beat all competitors at the Nganara field trial (Hornsby, Wood, Peering, "and others), selling 17 machines upon the ground. Farmers, inspect for yourselves. Price, raiE paid to any railway station, £55. BUCKEYE MOWER.

This mower is far and away the best, as iD is the oldest in the world ; having taken the world’s prize in 1857, and held it ever since, j It beat all comers at the Adelaide official trial last year; secured first award and special". mention at the Melbourne Exhibition last year, beat the Massey and carried off thei - Egmont A. and P. award, &c,, &e. Read what a South Cauterbury farmer says :

4000 acres—Still in Good Order. Waterton, South Canterbury, June 9,1885. About five years 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 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 requirI ing a mower to buy a Buckeye, and he will be satisfied.—Yours truly, A. DAWSON.
