 rers of this superior agricultural instrument for a supply, and 

 will keep them constantly for sale at 69, Exchange-street, oppctite

 Rochester, June 13, 1845. A. C. WILSON. 



" Having used Rogers' improved Steel Cultivator Teeth, we have 

 no hesitation in saying, that we believe them to be a great improve- 

 ment for preparing fallow grounds. We feel confidfnt, that with 

 the Improved Cultivator we can prepare our ground for wheat bet- 

 ter, and with one-fourth less expense than with the Plow and Har- 

 row, in the old way. With the Cultivator, we plow our ground but 

 once, harrow it leagthwise of the furrows once, with a sharp fine 

 harrow, and then put on the Cultivator, having no further use for 

 either plow or harrow. We find, by the use of the Cultivator that 

 we are enabled to destroy the blue grass, which has been so injuri- 

 ous to our wheat crop, and which could not be killed by plowing, 

 and are enabled to get more benefit from our clover by letting it get 

 a larger growth before plowing, and having it remain under, until it 

 has rotted.
