WE take pleasure in announcing to the Farmers and
w Grass growers Of Sandusky county Ohio that we
have made ample arrangements TO supply all with this
rivaed machine who favor us with their orders the
coming harvest Importance and economy of cutting
crops BY machinery is settled point with every intelligent
farmer and therefore requires argument; the only
question is which 10 the best machine and It is of this we
wish to speak.
The inventor Of the Ohio mower seeing the many oh.
ections to all the mowers before the public has for the
last three years labored asiduouly spang no skill or
pense to overcome those objections which he has sue
ceeded beyond the most sanguine expectations of his
friends During the short time II has been before the
public IL has earned for itself reputation OF which the
inventor and manufacturers justly be proud met
with series Of successes unprecedented in the history of
agricultural machnery; as pleasing evidence of which,
we will state that although the last the first harvest
they were offered for sale yet notwithstanding five hun
dred were built by the subscribers the demand could
be supplied Since last harvest number of improve

shed all controversy with those who have
ned this machine that 1t is superior to any
thing in the grass-cutter line invented.
The points Of excellence and incompatible advantages
over other machines consists in the following:
1stln hanging the cutter-bar to the frame of the

ofthe other, whilst they at the time act in
3d.-when the machine Is moved on curve either to
the right left the knives kept in proper motion,
hence the danger Of coggng under these circumstances is
4th-The machine being double geercd becomes strong
and durable.
5th-A the weight of the machine being placed on the

ceases to vbrate hence it at any be moved
back as readily empty cart.
7th.-It requires but moment to the cutter-bar
and by placing upon the machine whole can be
ed from place TO place readily a buggy.
The above few Of the advantage scnimed for the
ohio Mower and we will simply add one of the many
