Drill of a smaller size. It has the same patent Indicator as that. The Cultivator attachment has also been greatly 

 improved by providing it with a new set of teeth of an improved pattern, with Steel Blades of the best quality, 

 so that as a Cultivator it is now similar to the Matthews Improved Hand Cultivator. Therefore, as now con- 

 structed, this machine cannot fail to prove very efficient for use, either as a Drill or a Cultivator, and will be found 

 to be adapted to any kind of soil.

Matthews- Improved Hand Cultivator. 

 With Two Extra Hoes. 



Mattliei^s* Improved Hand Cultivator.— 



The Matthews Hand Cultivator has been greatly changed and im- 

 proved. It is now made with a larger wheel, and with a larger 

 flange to it. It is also provided with a new set of teeth of an im- 

 proved pattern, having Steel Blades of the best quality, and as 

 now constructed will, we think, prove greatly superior to what it 

 was before, and be found to be perfectly adapted for use in any 

 kind of soil. 



It is thoroughly constructed throughout, very durable and easy 

 to operate. A boy can do as much with it as six men with hoes. 

 It spreads from six to fourteen inches, and will cut all the ground 

 covered, even when spread to its greatest extent. The depth of 

 cultivation may be accurately gauged by raising or lowering the 

 wheel, which is quickly done.
