CUL.TIVATORS. 



Howard's Im] roved Fixed and Expanded Cultivators, 

 of all sizes. The cultivator is an implement that is com 

 ing inlo 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 cullivation, and at the same lime destroys 

 the weeds. 



These Cultivators aie best adapted to free and easy 

 ground, for running throujh rows of corn, potatoes and veg- 

 etables of all kimis, and used in the cullivaiion of Hops, in- 

 stead of the plough aud hoe. and are found far superior to 

 either. It is likewise well adapted lo harrow in grain and 

 grass seed; and for ilie many uses to which this implement 

 may be applied, ii must be considered one of the most val- 

 uable and uselnl tools that is used on a farm, and is coming 

 into very general use.

IVILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED SEED SOWER. 



WILLIS has made some considerable improvenients in 

 his Seed .Sower, making it complete as time and hard study 

 can possibly maUe it. In using this machine, the farmer 

 may be certain that his seed is pot into the ground, and at 

 the same time in the best possilile manner. There has been 

 a great difficulty in machines ior sowing garden seeds; they 

 are very apt to clog up, and the farmer might no over an acre 

 ol land and loi sow a single seed ; but not so with this ; ii 

 is so constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this 

 sower, the farmer can save one half of his seed, and do the 

 work at less than one quarter the expense of the common 

 way of sowing his seeds, and have it done in a much better 

 manner ; it ojiens the furrow, drops the seed, covers it over 

 and rolls them down. It will sow any kind of Garden 

 Seeds ; say Ruta Baga, Margel Wurtzel, Turnips, Cairots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions, &c.

REvOLVIiVG HORSE RAKE. 



-^-i^'^V-i' 



The Revolving Rake which has been in general use in 

 most pans of Pennsylvania ami New Jersey, is louud to be 

 one of the most uselnl and labor saving machines now in 

 use. One man and horse wiili a boy to lead, will rake on 

 an average from 23 lo 3ii acres pet day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. Thev are coming into very general use m 

 all parts of the couiiiry. and will, no doubt, in a few years 

 supersede the use of the coiiiiiion hand rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all others, as the person 

 usin" it docs not have to stop Un- horse to unload the rake.
