iFarm and Garden Tools at Lowest Cost Ever Known. 



Using the large number of drills and cultivators that I do every year (my sales in 1897 were over ten car loads) I have made special 

 agreemen .s this year with the firms who manufacture the implements forme, and am thus able to offer machines at Manufacturers' 

 Cost Price. Please understand that all machines that 1 offer are the very latest 1898 pattern. 



IVT •'^'^ prices on drills and cultivators are for machines shipped bv express or freight at buyer's expense, unless otherwise 



INOtlCC agreed upon. I^et me have your order early and thus take advantage of low shipping rates to all points. 



The Wonderful Matthews Combined Drill, Cultivator, Plow, Rake, and Double Wheel Hoe. 



AS A RAKE 



AS A PLOW 



AS A DRILL 



THIS MACHINE SIX IN ONE ALL COMPLETE $7.50 



This is the most perfect Combined Drill made. In it the errors of the old drills are overcome and new additions made to same, so that it makes it 

 today the most perfect tool imaginable. In addition to this, the manufacturers recognizing that the times are close and money scarce, have, unlike 

 other manufacturers, put the price of the tool down to bed rock, so that it is within the reach of everyone. The simple fact oi the hopper and index on 

 the Matthews bjing of such easy access and within reach of your eye and hand at all times makes it worth double the concealed hopper of the other 

 makes. The manufacturers, whose headquarters we are, say this of this great tool: " This Is not only a desirable combination of the Garden Drill with 

 the New Universal Cultivating Attachments, but it has the advantage of be;ng either a Double Wheel or Single Wheel implement at will, the change 

 from one to the other being readily and quickly made. The Two Wheel Sower, are very desirable, especially when only one tool is wanted, and then it 

 can be used first as a Seed Drill and then used as a Cultivator or Wheel Hoe, as in this way the rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultiva- 

 tiug done on both sides of the row at one passing. The especial feature of this implement is that when used in straddle rowcultivation there is no pro- 

 jection below the frame to interfere with the plants. The combination is one thatcannot fail of recommending itself to all. The attachments are: 1 

 Pair Hoes, 5 Cultivator Teeth, I Pair Rakes and 1 Pair Plows. The seeding and covering apparatus can be readily removed, when the implement pre- 

 sents much the appearance of the New Universal Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow, illustrated as above. It is not necessary to remove the seed 

 box, as the teeth can be inserted in the frame with this attached, one great advantage op the Matthews drili, is this: That if you do not wish 

 to use same as a Double Wheel Drill or Seeder, one of the wheels can be quickly taken olT and it becomes in every respect the same as the Matthews 

 New Universal Garden Drill, illustrated above. Another is that when you are through seeding, you simply take away the seed hopper which is quickly 

 done, and use it as a Double-Wheel Hoe, and it answers exactly the same purpose as the Matthews Double-Wheel Hoe, illustrated above, six machines 

 IN ONE and all for only -^7.50. That is what you have by pnrchasing the Matthews Combined Drill. You notoply have a Combined Double-Wheel Drill 

 but you have a Single-Wheel Drill. You have a Double-Wheel Cultivator, you have a Hoe, you have a Plow and a Rake. We illustrate in the above 

 cut but four of the machines, but it gives you six perfect machines, as here described. My price on this grand tool is only $7.50,
