IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

The Manufacturers of—- ‘ THE NEW CHAMPION ' have introduced a— NEW PHINCIPLE IN MECHANICS. The Gearing of a Mowing Machine reduced to Two Cog Wheels, and only One of them Revolves. THE NEW CHAMPION MOWER Is a Machine for cutting grass, that pos sesses peculiar points of excellence notfound on other mowing machines. The compli cated mass of gear wheels that is found upon other grass cutters is conspicuous by its ab sence In this imr’ement. The power to drive the cutting la derived from a pair of parallel tiAitl—d wheels that meet face to face, engaging fully one.third of the teeth at one time. By this mode of obtain ing power the greatest speed is obtained without injury to the heels or bearings, besides the pressure so evenly divided that the wear upon these gear wheels is imperceptible, FULLY ONE-THIRD MORE POWER Is derived by this new movement than it obtained from the old style of bevel gear and spur pinon, besides the motion is directly transmitted to the knife, while fully one third of the power on the old-fashioned mowing machines is lost by friction while passing through the various gears, vinous, spur wheels, bevel gears, etc,, More it reaches the cutters. SPECIAL POINTS OF EXCELLENCE Simplicity in construction. New mechanical gearing. Elevation of cutters while itt motion. Patent foot lever to control Anger bar. Direct hitch rod to lessen the draft. Independent gear wheels to cut right or Easy manner to dissect machine, Tilt lever for raising or lowering cut. Reliablepitman connectlonto knife heel The most convenient machine for ' handling. Strong and positive cutting power, with out choking. Very light draft and well constnioted. Th mower is the recognised leader of grass implements. No expense has been spared in its construction to make it the strongest mactoe for the purpose required in ths field. It is sold upon its merits.
