Herron's Patent, No. 4,884. " 
HAY SLED, FOR GRAIN OR HAY. 
Advantages.— One man may load as much hay as two 
men can on a wagon, and as there is no builder required, 
there are two skilful hands saved in harvest. One horse is 
equal to two in a wagon— the greater rapidity of movement. 
A hand can pitch from the sled as much more in the same 
time as from a wagon ; if in cocks, from four to six can he 
loaded without breaking. Three men can stack or house 
hay as welt as a double set of hands wiih two wagons; from 
it3 simplicity and cheapness, any farmer can make one 
in a few hours without cost, save for bolts aud nails. 
Testimony of those who have Used it.— We do not 
hesitate to state that one man, with the use of Herron's Sled, 
on suitable ground with one horse, and a boy to drive, is 
fullv equal to three men with two horses in a wagon ; and 
when a hand-fork is used in unloading, a man will remove 
nearly two tons while he would pitch one from a wagon. 
IFe would not be without it for ten times its cost.

BULLARD'S IMPROVED 
HAY TEDDER 
Is mounted on wheels 4 ft. high ; spreads 2 ft. wider than 
any other Tedder, and is easy draft for one horse. Does not 
run over the grass after it is spread, and never clogs. 
Is the only Hay Tedder that will thoroughly spread 
ALL KINDS OF HAY, ON ROUGH AND S3IOOTH GROUND, "tak-

FLEECY CONDITION FOR DRYING." 
A large farmer says: "its use in a single season will 
more than pay its cost. The enterprising farmer will 
not, cannot do without it ; the longer he puts off buying, 
the poorer he will be."
