Facts.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully CON
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but a single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
bic to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a

THE New BUCKEYE MowER-LEAD-
ING PoINTs OF Observation-Disclosures TO
GET ONE.-All the gears are enclosed,
and the cutters are in front, insuring
safety for the driver and u perfect
balance OH 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 jointed 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 a horizontal position on the
frame of the machine.
There are two levers. The fitting
lever is used to raise the cutterbar
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 togglejoints 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 its inventors and originators, who
have it's reputation most nearly a,
heart, viz: G. Aultman d Co., Can
ton, Ohio.
The Buckeye has been competi
tor in all the leading machine con
tests during the past twenty-five
years, and has taken the leading ant
highest prizes from first to last.

If the delicious flavor peculiar to
butter is due as many suppose, to
flavoring oils in the Vegetation consul
med by the milk giving animal, but
ter made from the same food should
have the same flavor, though coming
from different animals. 1t is motto
rious that it does not. Hence it fol-
lows that the true butter flavor must
be dependent either on oils built up
anew in the animal body or on vege-
table oils changed by animal infu-
ences. Whenever the flavoring oils
of vegetation pass through the body
of an animal and appear unchanged
in milk as they often do they are al
ways there as a foreign element
which may be agreeable or otherwise
and always from the extreme suscep-
tibility to change, injure the keeping
of the butter that contains them.
