The Cherry Tree.

When Summer breathes o'er budding leaves,
And woos the flowers TO life and light,
And grassy legtons throng the roads,
And linnets sing from morn till night,
Each jocund month reveals to me
New beauties In the Cherry tree.
Quaint rings and moss, and snowy flakes,
And arms aglow with crimson gems;
almost deem IL has a soul
That trembles through its dainty stems;
For Oft IL shakes as II with glee,
That gnarled ard cabalistic tree.
There's not a robin, bllthe and brown.
Or lark that wings the upper air,
But knows its boughs as wen as L,
And sings his quaintest carols there,
ween they've spread over land and sea
The glory OF the Cherry tree.
Well knows the plow boy, tireless elf,
The branches Where the Jewels cling
And ere he milks the dreamy herd
He scars and banquets like a king.
To boy and bird alike tits free,
Under that old, familiar tree.
When Phoebus sinks beneath the wave,
And lilies hang their sanity heads,
While roses weep beside the gate,
And robins sleep I'm lofty beds,
The lover bends with reverent knee
Under that old, familiar tree.
No fervid vows that friendship pours.
Beneath his green and shelterlng cope,
When moonlight tips his happy leaves,
Are ever marred or madly broke.
Oh, never faithless tryst could be
Under the staunch old Cherry tree.
When Autumn comes, with haggard eyes,
And rebel winds nssail his crown,
And all his kingly breast is bare,
And leaves like tears come trembling dowT
Still fancy's pensive eye doth see
martyr In the Cherry tree.

Reasons why Farmers should Buy the Buckeye Mower:

|. The location Of its Cutter Bar gives it de-
cided advantage over all rear cutters, both as
regards convenience and safety.
p Having no coggs in our drive wheels is
another important point over the Mccormick,
Champion, Ohio. Woods, &c.
g. Unlike the Russell, Excelsior, Champion,
Mccormick, Woods Johnston &c, we get up
our first or slow motion with bevel gears, and
our second or fast motion with spur gears.
The point gained is, that with the same use
spur gearing wears twice as long as bevel, and
as we arrange our gearing we take advantage
of this principle
4. The shape and material composing our
guards as we'll as cutting apparatus in general
are points in our favor. Some use cast. others
mallable while still others use wrought iron
guards, some have steel plates placed in them,
while others-as the Champion-use wrought
iron hardened, claiming it to be as good as
wrought iron laid with steel, as ours are. If
so, why are our axes and chisels not so con-
structed2 Their plan costs less than ours,
for after ours are forged out Of the best iron
they certainly lay the slot and point with
steel as carefully as any other cutting tool.
5. The folding Of our cutter bar when trans
fering is another grand feature of the Buck
eye over all It's aivals. The Buckeye alone
folds horizontally across the tongue, render
ing the Machine more compact and materially
lessening the wear and strain of all the parts
when driving from field to field

SPECIAL EXCELLENCIES
Sw takes.

The cylinders are so spiked, that in connec.
tion with the spiked and adjustable concaves,
every grain is detached from its connection
with head and straw, leaving the grain per-
feet and uniniured. To accomplish this, a
very important improvement has been made
in the concave, by which it can be raised or
lowered at pleasure by crank moving and
holding it at all points equi-distant from the
cylinder This change has met with great IA
yor, and is q decided convenience in adapting
cylinders and concaves to all conditions of
grain.
Separating the grain from the straw and
chaff without loss of grain, is one of the spe-
cial merits of the Sweepstakes. All machines
will carry over more or less grain with the
straw, the amount of which will depend upon
two things: lst, the condition of the
grain and I'd, the manner in which the ma
chine is handled. Owing to the generally
bad condition of the grain of the past season.
more than usual attention was given this sub
iect resulting in some very fine improve
ments We venture the assertion that the
Sweepstakes will carry over less grain than
any other machine known.
The fan mill of the Sweepstakes possesses a
changeable wind board, by which with a
thumb-screw the direction Of the blast can be
changed at pleasure, adapting it to the differ
ent conditions and kinds of grain and seed.
We regard this arrangement as superior to
the two fans" of some other machines, Tor
the reason that ours is adjustable as to suit
all kinds of grain, while the two fans" can
not be used for oats and barley.
