These firms manufacture the justly
celebrated Buck Eye" Reaper and

tor their superiority, in every State and

We shall mot attempt a description Of
these machines, which are 30 familiar 70
every intelligent farmer, but viii refer
to what We regard as the simplest aud
most complete SelfRake attachment we
have ever seen.
We allude to what is known as THE
Miller Table Rake" belonging to, and
attached only to the Buckeye"
Among the many points Of excellence
of this simple, beautiful and popular
machine, are the following, viz: The
ease and ouickness with which it can be
handled by the driver, whilst at work,

Works of Aultman, Miller s. Co., and c.
Aultman s. Co, and speak of others we
visited at future time.
In order that our readers may form
a conception OF the magnitude of these
two establishments, and the immense
capital invested in, and necessary to
keep them in operation, we will give .
very brief description OF them.
The Buckeye works of Aultman, Miller
g. Co., at Akron, Ohio, cover about thir-
teen acres of ground. and give constant
employment TO from four hundred and

employ = capital of over one million Of

This is much the largest single estab

We sometimes wonder whether til
