He is just "itching" for that health- 

 ful, invigorating exercise that his young 

 muscles will get when pushing a 

 "Barker." Besides, the "Barker" will 

 help and encourage him — make garden 

 work fun all summer long. And with it 

 he can do better work — and more of it — 

 than ten men can do with hoes 



The BARKER 



Weeder, Mulcher, 

 and Cultivator 



Destroys the weeds and forms a moisture- 

 retaining mulch, in one operation. Eight 

 steel blades revolve against a stationary 

 steel knife which passes just under the 

 surface. They uproot and chop the weeds 

 and strip the soil from them. ' ' Best 

 Weed Killer Ever Used." 



The combined action of blades and knife 

 at the same time pulverizes the hardest 

 crust and clods and spreads this necessary 

 mulch evenly over the surface. Moisture 

 is thus retained and held at the plant 

 roots. 



The ' ' Barker ' ' works up close to the 

 plants. Cuts runners. Leaf guard makes 

 its use practical throughout the season. 

 It also has easily attached shovels for 

 deeper cultivation, making it three gar- 

 den tools in one. Ideal for the market 

 garden and small fruit farm as well as 

 / the ordinary kitchen garden. 



A ten-year-old boy can run a "Barker." 

 He can do more and better work with it 

 than two men with wheel hoes — and we 

 can prove it!
