In noticing the exhibits at the State fair,
the Elmra Gazette has this to say IN regard
to the Eureka Mower:
We also noticed the Wilbur Direct DRAFT
Eureka Mowor. This machine has a capaci
ty of two acres per hour. A new principle
is illustrated in this machine. namely, that of
spreading. the horses and cutting the swath
between them, and Il direct draft is thus Sc
cured, and the grass is left untrodden as i
falls, thus enabling it to cure in bat little over
half the time than if cut by any other ma
chine. This machine is very easily handled
both by the man as well as by the team. The
cuttcr-bar can be raised twenty inches, and
can run over or under the grass without
cloggng. This machine is especially adapted
to moving s:de-hils, where all know the old
machines worked with difficulty, and often
danger. The fact that one horse walks in the
grass, wh h seemed so great al objection to
many at first sight, becomes an actual advan-
tage when demonstrated bv practical expert
cnce and trial. The Eureka machine, all
things considered, is the cheapest and hest
for practical farming.
