Wiard Road or Contrac- New No. 15 Black Hawk Variable 

 tor^s Plows I^rop Planter 



The cut illustrates the No. 65 Plow, which is very sub- 

 stantial, and is heavy enough for ordinary road or con- 

 tractor's work when used with two or four horses. 



A Cast Iron Point, made from the best quality of char- 

 coal iron, very strong and heavy. 



A Forged Crucible Steel Point. This point is made very 

 heavy, and is strong and durable, and can be forged or 

 drawn by any blacksmith. 



In ordering always specify which style of point is wanted 

 on the plow. 



The Shoe or Wheel as shown separate in cut, can be 

 attached, but is not sent with plow unless ordered. 



No. 65, Medium Weight, 200 lbs. 



Price, with wheel $16.00 



Price, without wheel 15.00 



Wiard Pavement or Rooter Plow 



No. 67. Four or Six-Horse. Weight with Clevis 250 lbs. 



This Plow has great strength and is adapted to con- 

 tractor's work and for tearing up cobblestone or Macadam 

 pavements. 



The Beam is made of charcoal cast iron, very strong 

 and heavy or cast Crucible Steel, as ordered. The tend- 

 ency to wear off the lower front end of the Beam in this 

 class of Plows is entirely overcome by a separate shoe 

 casting attached to the beams at this point, which can be 

 replaced at slight expense when worn; this often saves the 

 cost of the beam. In ordering always specify kind of 

 Beam wanted. 



The point is 32 inches in length and one inch thick, and is 

 made from the best quaUty of forged steel. It is wedge 

 shape and pointed at both ends. The Point can be ex- 

 tended when it becomes worn by removing the bolts and 

 adjusting towards the front. It can also be reversed end 

 for end, making a point that has strength, durability and 

 great wearing qualities. It can be forged or drawn by any 

 blacksmith. 



The handles are made of steel, strongly braced, being 

 a new departure, as heretofore handles for this style of 

 Plow have been made of wood and were easily broken. 



The construction of this Plow throughout is iron and 

 steel, and is made to stand the wear and tear. 



^ Syracuse Con- 



tractors* Plow 



99, Syracuse four to eight-horse Contractors' Plow; 

 weight with shoe, 310 lbs. This plow is equipped with a 

 steel truss beam, steel moldboard and landside, separate 

 shin piece. Heavy overlaid wrought steel share, adjust- 

 able shoe in place of wheel. Loop handle wear irons; 

 very strongly built; suitable for severe grading purposes 

 in shale or hard-pan. 



All Black Hawk Planters fitted with adjustable drop 

 plates, when so ordered. 



Our special new feature in this planter is that we not 

 only get an accurate number of kernels in each hill, but we 

 get the number of kernels in each liill which the quality 

 of the soil is able to bring to perfect maturity. 



No field was ever known to contain exact uniformity 

 in strength of soil. It is just as unreasonable to expect 

 the same results from thin, weak soil, in comparison with 

 deep, rich soil, as it is to expect a child to do a man's work. 

 This is a reasonable proposition, particularly to the scientific 

 corn grower. 



With the No. 15 Variable Drop, the drop can be changed 

 to 2, 3, or 4 kernels in a hill without stopping the team; 

 or can drill 7M, 10 or 15 inches, 9, 12 or 17J^ inches, or 11, 

 14 or 22 inches apart, without stopping the team. The 

 mere shifting of a lever from one to the other of three 

 notches changes the drop instantly to 2, 3 or 7 kernels 

 without stopping the team. Prices on application.
