on two straight centre pins, so that one part can be raised and 

 swuntr ovei' on the other half as occasion requires. Its advan- 

 tage over the common harrow is, that it is less liable to be 

 slopi3ed, as one side may be elevated or turned to a perpendicu- 

 lar position, while ^he other side proceeds horizontally; it may 

 thus be drawn nearer to rocks, trees, &c. It will likewise bet- 

 ter adapt itself to ridges, hollows, and uneven land. 



HaricotCs Road Harrow. Ox and horse harrows, of all sizes, 

 fixed and expanding. 



Cultivators. Howard and Seaver's patent fixed and ex- 

 panding cultivators, of all sizes. The cultivator is an imple- 

 ment that is coming into very general use in all parts of the 

 country, and serves in a great measure in lieu of hoeing. The 

 teeth are so constructed as to raise the ground, and leaves it 

 very light and free for cultivation, and at the same time de- 

 stroys the weeds; and is well adapted to southern and western 

 cultivation. 



These cultivators are adapted to all kinds of ground, for 

 running through rows of corn, potatoes, and vegetables of all 

 kinds; and used in the cultivation of hops, instead of the plough 

 and hoe, and are found far superior to either. It is likewi'se 

 well adapted to harrow in grain and grass seed ; and for the 

 many uses to which this implement may be applied, it must be 

 considered one of the most valuable tools that is used on a 

 farm, and is coming into very general use. 



This certifies that I have used Seaver's cultivator, and find 

 it a much better article to work among corn and potatoes, than 

 any machine that I have ever tried; it clears the weeds be- 

 tw een the rows much more effectually than either a plough or 

 harrow, and saves a great deal of labor.

Tree and Bush Pullers. The tree and bush puller is one of 



the most useful and effect- ve implements in use ; it is employed 



in clearing land of under brush, small trees, barberry and other 



bushes. It is of iron, of any size or dimensions required, some-
