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 cannot 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'Oormick, Massey, Brandford, and all competitors. Having opened a New Zealand branch in Dunedin, this machine will be supplied direct to the farmer, carriage paid to his railway station, for £47 10s. BUCKEYE LOWDOWN.

This machine has been greatly improved and its capacity increased in every way. Present machine cuts five and a half feet, has longer binder arm, adjustable wind screen, and the Appleby knotter. Without increasing 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 Lowdowu Buckeye, losing the sale of quite 100 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 Fgapara field trial (Hornsby, Wood, Leering, and others), selling 17 machines upon the ground. Farmers, inspect for yourselves. Price, rail paid to any railway station, £55. BUCKEYE MOWER.

This mower is far and away the best, as it is the oldest in the world ; having taken the world’s prize in 1857, and held it ever since. 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 the Egmont A. and P. award, &e,, &e. Read what a South Cauterbury farmer says:— 4000 acres—Still in Good Order.

Waterloo, South Canterbury, June 9,1888. 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 sho is the lightest I have ever seen, and I would recommend any farmer require ing a mower to buy a Buckeye, and he will be satisfied. —Yours truly, A. DAWSON. Price delivered at any railway station, £lB. BUCKEYE REAPER.
