reliable Machine, to get Buckeye and
try it. | did so, and | an glad of il.
After | gave it fair trial in grass and
grain, | WIS satisfied that it is the best
Reaper & Mower that has ever been intro
ded in Butaloe Valley, and | want moth
ing better on my sarm than the Buckeye
1t has no side draft, and runs very light
for two horses, not liable to get out of or
der. have cut, last year and this, about
80 acres Of grass, same of it very heavy
down, and dry. 1t made no difference to
the Buckeye, wet or dry, standing or
lodged, it cut right along, no choking or
ciogging about it, in any grass on my
farm. Iu grain, | cut about 80 acres with
it to my entire satisfaction. | have not
had to stop my Reaper to fix a bur, or bolt,
or anything about it. 1t is a very dura-
