Cheap Corn Culture 
20 Acres a Dav, Better than by Hand, with 
TB0JI1S' SMOOTHING HARROW. 
SI Slanting Teeth of Tempered Steel for $25. 
The many small teeth being round and sloping back- 
ward do not tear up the strongly rooted corn, but eftVc- 
tually Destroy the Young Weed* ou The surface, 
stirring the soil In as well as around the hill. A 
boy can take entire care of 10U acres of com, and thus 
obviate Haiicl-Hocing entirely. The number. 
Bhape, and position of the round, slanting teeth render this 
barrow the most complete nnd rapid Pulverizer 
ever used, cutting the lumps with ;i downward draw-cut, 
instead of pushing them aside; for the same reason it 
draws very easily, and covers a wide surface. 
Wheat and. all sown crops are benefited by cultivation, 
as certainly as corn or cabbage, which can be profitably 
done with the Harrow, 
Increasing tlie Yield 3 to 5 bnsHcls per Acre, 
Farmers* Club, New York City, savs: "In potato culture 
it is really excellent : saves ball the expense. 
An agent writes us as follows: *' I olTered a circular to 
John Gritmau (Springville, Iowa), an influential Quaker. 
He said, * 1 don't want that.' Said I, 'Read it, it will no you 
no harm." He said, ' No, I have the thing itself; thee must 
not think we are so far behind the times. I sent $100 for four 
Harrows last spring.' 'Well,* said I, 'as vou have used 
them, tell me, will they do ail the papers say?' He said, 
' I tell thee, William, this Harrow will do all the papers say 
it will.'" 
W3I. E. BURNS, Monmouth, III.. bays: "I harrowed 
my corn and potatoes. One team will do 20 acres a day." 
I. A. W.C.VMPPIELD, Sullivan, 111.: 'A boy 12 years 
old will do more corn in one day than 10 men the oldway." 
JAS. A. PIXE, Omaha, Neb.: "I cultivated my corn, 
and it worked like a charm." 
R.. FORD, rtuda, 111.: "On my corn it did good work." 
H. COMSTOCK, Liberty Mills, Ind.: M My son, Hyena 
old, harrowed 100 acres in 5 days, wheat, o:Us, and corn." 
S. CLARK, Cambridge, 111.: " It is excellent for corn."

SESSIONS & KNOX'S 
PATENT 
HARD -STEEL PLOWS 
EMBODY IN THEIR SHAPE THE SCIEJV- 
tific adaptation of natural lines embraced by Knox's 
Patent, and nave extra qualities of hardness, each piece of 
metal being made by a process tluit converts about one 
third on each side into steel, and allows it to be hardened as 
much as fire and water can make ir, while the center re- 
mains soft or flexible. This gives them a toughness that 
avoids the liability of breakage so general with other plows, 
and a surface better adapted to slide through the soil, which 
reduces the amount of power required, and further adds to 
durability. 
These Hard-Steel Plows received the highest premium, S20, 
awarded to Plows at the Vermont State Agri- 
cultural Fair, September, 1871. 
Messrs. Sessions dc Knox icere aicarded the highest prize hy 
the New York State Agricultural Society, Oct., 1871.

land Agricultural Society, September, 1S71.
