Powell's Patent Wheel Harrowl Gram Coverer. 



This Harrow, for Pulverization, Covering Seed, Comparative Ease of Draft, Simplicity, 



Durability, and General Practicibilitv, is unsurpassed by any other Harrow or Pulverizer in use. 



IT IS ADAPTED TO EVERY KIND OF SOIL 



stony, Rooty, Clayey, Loamy or Sandy, being sui>plied with Cast linu or Steel Teeth. It neyer catches upon stone 



or roots, nor turns up the sod on newly plowed sward land, owing to the peculiar construction of the 



Teeth. It does the work of four plows on old potato laud by properly adjusting it. 



THE !S4>WER attached to this Harrow (not shown in the aboye cut) is udojjted to the sowing (.)f all kinds of seeds and 



fertilizers, and operates on the broadcast principle, sowing from f^ur quarts to four bushels per acre. The Mechanism

FARMERS, CALL AND SEE THE GREAT HARROW. 



Being assured that this, the only Wheel Harrow in the world with awheel draft, which 



works vertically, independent of the main axle, is one of the most important agricultural implements of the day, the pub-

 Pennsylvania by placing one of the Harrows and Seed Sowers combined on exhibition at the oflBce of The Lancaster 

 Farmer, where those interested in this great improvement are invited to call. This will be the first one seen in the State. 

 It was awarded the GRAND MEDAL OF PROGUESS by the New England Agricultural Society, at Boston, 1873, and at 

 Providence, in 1874; also the First Premium by the American Institute, 1873, and First at all State and County Fairs
