Halsted's Patent Horse Hay Fork. 
CHEAPEST AM) BEST. 
The LIGHTEST, SIMPLEST, most compact and conven- 
ient fork in the market. 
Weighs only IS lbs. Can be worked by a bov of ten, and, 
discharges its" load with the least effort of any fork yet offer- 
ed to the public. 
It is so balanced that it will take up a greater or lesser 
amount of hay without dribbling it from the points of the 
i, nes, which is the case in almost every other fork in use. 
The bail, when thrown back, serves to push the fork into 
the hay, so that the operator has all the advantages of a 
handle, without having it in the way when pitching through 
a window or in any place where the room is limited. 
It is made of Iron and Steel in the most durable manner, 
having no wooden head to split and allow the teeth to get 
loose. 
No Farmer should be without one. 
Price, with Pullevs and Hooks complete, $10.
