Imperial Pulverizer, Clod Crusher, Roller and Leveler. 



PiriCH, .... $35>oo. 



The "IMPERIAL." Is composed of two sets of 

 tiollow disk rollers which turn upon a revolving 

 axis, one set being placed directly behind and just 

 in the centre of the other, thereby covering every 

 inch of ground and effectually pulverizing the hard- 

 est clods, and at the same time subjecting the 

 ground to a pressure and packing the soil a couple 

 of inches below the surface, enabling it to retain 

 moisture, and at the same time leaving the surface 

 loose, mellow and level, for the reception of the 

 seed, making the most perfect seed bed ever yet 

 obtained. There have been many attempts made 

 to produce a tool that would accomplish this, but 

 they have all failed in certain respects. 



Most pulverizers tear up the soil and leave it too 

 loose to retain the moisture, or to allow the roots 



to obtain a firm hold, while others, in their attempt 

 to pack the soil, will press clods beneath the sur- 

 face, thereby leaving it in a very undesirable con- 

 dition for the reception of the seed, as every farmer 

 will readily admit; and if a harrow is put over the 

 field again, all the clods come to the surface and 

 the field is as rough as ever. The "IMPERIAL" 

 thoroughly pulverizes the hardest clods, while at 

 the same time it presses the soil sufficiently to re- 

 tain the moisture and form a firm bed for the roots 

 of the grain, etc. To obtain the best results, the 

 "IMPERIAL" should be used before and after 

 sowing, and can be used on corn right after coming 

 up, with a very good effect. 



The "IMPERIAL" cuts 6 feet wide, weighs 800 

 pounds. Should that weight not be heavy enough, 

 more can be added when necessary. We can make 

 them to cut 7 and 8 feet, when so ordered. 



The draft is about eqiual to that of a common 

 harrow. 



The tongue is so attached to the frame that no 

 weight rests on the horses. 



The manner in which the chains are attached, 

 together with the compound movement of the disks 

 and axis, make the "IMPERIAL" by far the eas- 

 iest pulverizer to "turn" there is on the market. 



The chief principle upon which the "IMPE- 

 RIAL" is constructed is the application of pressure 

 upon the sides of the hard lumps, and not only the 

 downward force given by Rollers.
