Best Machine in the World !

During last harvest hundreds of Farmers,
in consequence of our inability 10 supply the
demand were unable 10 obtain the Bucksye.
and were forced TO purchase an inferior
machine. The continued scarcity Of laborers
and the new calls from the government for
troops, will take many more laborers from
the country, and the farmer will have to reIy
entirely upon machinery in gathering his
hay and grain crops.
Farmers who would avoid disappointment,

Gated, it may be regarded IS settled con-

is evidently put forward as a feeler, to
sccuston the public to the idea. Elevate
