THE NEW BUCKEYE MowER-LEAD-
ING PoINTs OF WHERE TO
GET ONE.-All the gears are enclosed,
and the cutters are in front, insuring
safety for the driver and perfect
balance on the axle. There is no
side-draft or weight on the horses
necks.
The frame is of cast iron, tubular,
and in one piece. With the rigid
support afforded by this frame, ma
chinery runs the easiest and lasts the
longest.
The double-iointed coupling allows
the cutter-bar to adapt itself to all
varieties of surface, so as to NOW
closely and evenly over knobs and
ridges, and through hollows and
bitches.
The superiority of the Buckeye in
respect to portability is acknowl-
edged everywhere. On no other ma
chine can the cutting apparatus be
folded completely over so as to lie Sc
curely in horizontal position on the
frame of the machine.
There are two levers. The fitting
lever is used to raise the cutter bar
so as to cut over rough and uneven
surfaces, or to lower it so as to shave
off the grass to the very ground. The
lifting lever is used to raise the bar
over distractions.
There are no toggle- joints or cheap
iron guards about the machine Cut
ting edges are steel, with patent con
cave guard, the best in the world.
The gearing and the general plan
of the Buckeye is the same now as in
1857. The fact that our competitors
have adopted the Buckeye features
one by one, such as mounting the
machine on two wheels, placing the
centers in front, enclosing the gears,
using leading wheel, steel-faced
guards, lifting lever, fitting lever,
etc, shows that they consider the
Buckeye the most perfect mower ever
built.
The manufacture and sale of the
Buckeye is the largest in the world.
In most of European countries man
ufacturers are copying it as nearly as
possible, but nowhere is the machine
made so light, strong and durable as
by it's inventors and originators, who
have its reputation most nearly at
heart, viz: C. Aultman d Co., Can
ton, Ohio.
The Buckeye has been a competi-
tor in all the leading machine con-
tests during the past twenty-five
years, and has taken the leading and
highest prizes from first to last.
The Buckeye can be had in combi-
nation with either the Buckeye table
rake, side delivery reaper, or the
Buckeye dropper, rear delivery reap

The following from an exchange is
to the point and may contain hint
for some of our readers: "An editor
sees many things that he don't say
anything about, because he don't
know whether the parties interested
want anything said or not. We
charge for locals in all cases where
they are likely to be Of pecuniary
benefit to anybody, though we are Of
ten liberal in this regard with peo-
pie who are liberal with us. People
often come around showing us things
that they expect to make money out
of. and that they want US to notice,
but they don't say it ia the right
sort Of language. We don't appear
to understand them as they would
like for us'tc do. Talk is cheap, but
it takes good deal ofclean, strained
cash to keep a newspaper on its
pegs.

A MISREPRESENTATION

When an Oakland organ of State
Prison Director charges the RECORD UNION
with special partisanship for the Folsom
State Prison it merely perpetrates silly
absurdiIy. Is its inception this paper did
not favor the proposition, and never at any
stage OF its development has it given the
scheme unqualified encouragement. The
prison was an experiment which, now that
the State has expended $500, 900 in its con-
struction, ought to be fairly and fully
tried. There were three leading consider
atoms urged in favor of the establishment
of this Branch Prison. The first related to
the disciplinary value of dividing the State
Prison the second related TO the develop
ment of the water power of the American
river; and the third was the supposed
value of employing prison labor in cutting
stone. The Special Prison Commission de-
clared in its report that unless these sup
posed advantages could be realized, The
location possessed neither climatic, eco.
nomic nor disciplinary reasons to recon-
mend it as location for a prison. The
prison is completed and is occupied. The
original theories should be fully and fairly
tested, and they will be as soon as Board
of Prison Directors possessing sufficient
intelligence to perceive them, and sutfi
Gent administrative capacity to carry them
into effect, is formed.

a JuDlcrous MOVEMENT.

The wheat growers have taken step in
the right direction by organizing them
selves into an association for mutual pro-
lection and concert OF action. a large
and representative meeting OF wheat grow
ers was held in San Francisco on Wednes-
day, and after much discussion resolved
upon perfectiug an organization, which, if
judiciously directed, has high capabilities
for good to the interest it will represent
We recently pointed out the continued loss
sustained by the wheat-growers arising
from the fact that the crop produced by
them was manipulated by spectators, and
the selling rate was not in any sense
determined by themselves. The profit
arising upon the wheat grown in Caiifornia
has been confined almost entirely to the
transactions after the wheat has left the
hands of the grower. The farmer has
produced the wheat in sacks and has left
all the operations necessary to place it in
market at Liverpool to the tonnage broker,
commission merchant and Spectator, and
the largest share of the profit has resided
in this latter class of operations. The an
nual loss to the grain-growers of Califor-
MIA aggregates an amount sufficient to fur
niah capital for all the appliances
necessary to control the entire opera
ton OF placing the wheat grown here
in its final market The commercial
transactions involved in placing the grain
in market in Liverpool are not profoundly
abstruse or even difficult There is nothing
in the operation which cannot be mastered
by any association OF intelligent grain
growers. The meeting held in San Fran
cisco ascertained from facts collected by it
that there is now in store for export $50,
600 tons of wheat. The quotable rate at
San Francisco is 81 70 per GENITAL or s54
per ton. The wheat now In store for ex-
port is therefore worth In the aggregate in
San Francisco S32, 800, 600. On yesterday
the quotation in Liverpool was lis. Id. or
81 S. per GENITAL, or $50 60 per ton. The
wheat now ready for export is therefore
worth in Liverpool $50, 40. 600. or an excess
over the aggregate value in San Francisco
of S2l, 40, 900. Upon the basis of the ac-
tual cost of carriage, this wheat can be
delivered in Liverpool for IS per ton, or
81, 600, 600, leaving margin of sl3,s70.-
600. This is a sum of sufficient magnitude

to master the situation. If the owners Of
this wheat combined as comractly and as
intelligensly as one man, 1t would add at
least $40 per ton to the value OF this wheat
in San Francisco, or an aggregate profit to
the commonwealth of 50. 500, coo. If a
single individual or syndicate of individ-
uals owned all this wheat, it would con-
stitute what is known il the language OF
the Produce Exchange, .'acorner in wheat. :"
In that case every one would expect that
the Individual or syndicate would secure
an advance in price, and realize stipend
Gus profit. The owners Of this wheat can
by concert of action form legitimate
"corner, and obtain legitimate price by
acting together. The action taken at the
meeting on Wednesday indicates plainly
that they intend 20 do SO, aud if they act
intelligently the entire surplus now ready
for export can be made to realize at least
$40 per ton before the first of January.

SHOULD BE REFLECTED.

There is division in the ranks of the
Democracy in Mississippi this year, and in
the State campaign now in progress, there
are three tickets in the field. Senator La.
mar has espoused the cause of the regular
Democratic ticket, and it is said that a
combination is forming between the boiling
Democrats and the Republicans to elect an
Independent Democrat to succeed Lamar in
the United States Senate. They have no
Independent or any other kind Of Demo.
crat in Mississippi as ca able of serving the
State and the whole country as Senator
Lamar. Great ability flom the South is
conspicuous by is absence just now, and
the loss of Lamar viii still further reduce
the average.
