If the ground is soft and sponsry the back roller must be lowered a little to prevent the machine from cutting too closely. How to Cut the Edges or Borders of Gkavei, Walks,—Lower the back roller as far as possible, and run one wheel on the grass and the other on the walk, taking only 5 or 6 Inches of grass. How to Mow a Bank,—Stand at the top and work the machine down the incline, or stand at the bottom and work the machine diagnally along the bank, bat not m a direct line from bottom to top. How to Colieut the Gbass.—Slide the curved iron name plate between the two grooves, and secare lb firmly by tightening the thumb screws ; bhen drop the Grass Collecting Box into the recess provided. How to Scatter the 1 Cox Grass Evenly on the Lawn iv Hot Weather, TO PjROTECKI THE SOD FROM BKING Scorched by the Sun's Kays.—Use the machine without the Grass Collecting Box and the carved iren name plate. In this order the machine cats long grass without clogging, and will be found useful for undulating ground ; also close up to trees, clearing the grass well away from the bottom of the trunks. In moving the machine abonb from place to place, tarn the handle over, so as to raise the cylinder from the ground, and then push it forward; the cylinder will then cease to rotate. It can be taken m this convenient manner on the roughest road, without doing it the slightest injury. How to Sharpen and Adjust the i Knives—First by means of the box spanner, bring the cylinder and bottom blade m contact, then remove both of the driving wheels and the pinions, taking care nob to lose the ratchets 5 reverse the direction of the cylinder by placing the lef b hand pinion on the right hand side ; refix the driving wheel* a this side and screw the small handle into ib. Mix some corn emery and oil together m a saucer and put a little on a Blip of leather about two inches wide; draw the handle of the machine to the ground and kneel upon ib, turn the cylinder backwards by means of the small handle In the driving wheel, applying tbe emery at the same time to the edges of the cutters, and continue until the cylinder revolves easily. After sharpening, clean the machine thoroughly and replace the driving wheels, pinions, and ratchets, m bheir original positions, the cylinder should then cub thin writing paper when tested, revolve with freedom, and nob requite sharpening again for a year.
