A REVOLUTION IN 
PLOWING. 
The Greatest Advance in Fifty Years. 
The Ground plowed ; all sods, stubble, and 
weeds buried; the soil tUorouglily pnl- 
verizetl, aerated, and left a fine seed-bed, 
without barrowing, rolling, or tramping ; 
ALL AT 
One Operation, 
with less team power and at great saving of 
time. Only one man (or boy) required to 
drive the team and tend the implement. It 
is thus a great team-saver, labor-saver, and 
more important still, a Time-Saver, in getting 
in a larger acreage quickly. Mainly Wrought 
Iron and Steel. 
No Cogs or other weak parts to get out of 
order. 
It is adapted also to drilling in seed, and 
applying fertilizers at the same time that it 
is breaking and pulverizing the land. 
The plows are quickly elevated by a simple 
lever, and the whole easily runs to and from 
the field on its own wheels. The driver can 
walk or ride. 
A much Larger Yield of crop can invaria¬ 
bly be expected from ground thoroughly pul¬ 
verized by this implement than f rom the old 
method of plowing. 
Thoroughly tested and approved by the best 
Scientific, Mechanical, and Practical men. For 
circulars giving full particulars, with illustra¬ 
tions, testimony of practical men,etc., address
