No. 198.— The Planet, Jr., Garden 
Drill, Wheel Hoe, Wheel Cultivator, 
and Wheel Plow, Combined.—' This combi¬ 
nation of garden tools is one of the most valuable ever 
offered to our readers. The four engravings show a por¬ 
tion of the combinations. As a Drill, it is capable of 
sowing the whole list of garden seeds, being furnished 
with an adjustable opening plow, patent dropping and 
covering devices, and a marker and roller. As a Wheel 
Hoe, it hoes close and thoroughly the smallest plants. As 
a Wheel Cultivator, one can do as much with it as six 
with hand hoes. In addition to these useful combina¬ 
tions, the tool is provided with an elegant polished steel 
plow, an ever useful assistant in the garden from spring 
until fall. The makers claim that this combination is 
the most valuable that has ever been offered to the gar¬ 
dener. The price is but little more than that of an or¬ 
dinary seed-drill, yet the additional combinations are 
many times more useful than the drill alone. Descrip¬ 
tive catalogues will be sent on application by postal card 
to the manufacturers, S. L. Allen & Co., 229 Market St., 
Phila. We present this premium for 14 subscriptions 
at $1.50 each. [Or we will supply the apparatus for 
$12.] Carriage in either case to he paid by receiver. 
No. 199.—The Planet, Jr., Double 
Wheel Hoe, Wheel Plow and Cultiva¬ 
tor. —Garden and drilled crops must be hoed con¬ 
stantly, and this tool, in its presenfimproved form, does 
its work so much more closely and perfectly than the 
most skillful hand labor, that no market gardener, root 
grower, onion grower, nurseryman, or plant grower can 
afford to be without one. The great ease and speed with 
which the work of hoeing drilled crops can be accom¬ 
plished with this tool, makes it possible to tend a large 
crop at the proper time. All arc of tempered steel, hand¬ 
somely polished. The advantages of a good Double 
Wheel Hoe are numerous; working both sides of the 
same row at once, all bends in the row are readily fol¬ 
lowed, and the work done far closer and better, and also 
easier, from the attention being directed to but one row 
at a time. The tool weighs about 20 pounds, and being 
used with a stroke or punching motion, is very effective 
in all kinds of soil. From same makers as No. 198. Only 10 
subscriptions at $1.50 each will secure this. [Or we will 
supply it on receipt of the price, $8.] Receiver in either 
case to pay for transportation from the manufactory. 
No. 200.—The Planet, Jr., Horse Hoe. 
—This tool combines, to a large extent, in one tool, the 
valuable qualities of the Cultivator, the Wheel Hoe, and 
the Plow. It is made with wrought iron frame and 
standards, and tempered and polished cast-steel blades. 
It has the following advantages in mode of operation: 
The narrow, front teeth cultivate deeply the middle of 
the row, where there is no danger of injuring the roots, 
while the back teeth follow shallower, with long, cutting 
edges, which kill all weeds in their path, and leave the 
ground in fine condition. When used as a hoe, with side 
teeth reversed, it can be run very close to the row with¬ 
out cutting roots, and when thus used previous to hand 
hoeing, it saves a large portion of the work, and makes 
the remainder easy ; the portion left for the hand hoe 
being clearly defined, with the worked soil left conven¬ 
iently near for use in finishing the row. The side teeth, 
when used as shown in the cut, throw a furrow to the 
row, covering all small weeds, and hilling much or little, 
as desired. By same makers as No. 198. We will present 
this premium for 14 subscriptions, at $1.50 each. [Or we 
will supply one for $12.] Freight to be paid by receiver. 
No. 201 .—Gardner’s Grappling Pitch¬ 
ing Apparatus.— O ne of the most valuable and 
practicable combinations ever invented for unloading 
hay, grain, straw, cornstalks in bundles, etc. Included 
in the arrangement are the Fork, Car, including Knob 
Pulley, four Pulleys, and three Scr^jv Hooks, (see engrav¬ 
ing). The fork can ascend straight, or on a twist; the 
knob enters the car, and both car and fork move off with¬ 
out difficul ty. It runs on a rod-track,—which is most du¬ 
rable, simple, cheap, and easily put up. The apparatus 
is also valuable for stacking purposes, and does the work 
very successfully. Manufactured by E. V. R. Gardner 
& Co., at JohnsonB, Orange Co., N. Y. We will present 
this Pitching Apparatus for only 30 subscriptions at 
$1.50 each. Freight from manufactory to be paid by re¬ 
ceiver. [We will supply the Apparatus for $31.00.] 
No. 202. Dickey’s Farm Fanning-Mill. 
—No one who raises grain of any kind, can afford to 
be without a proper machine for cleaning the grain ready 
for market or use. Mr. A. P. Dickey, of Racine, Wis., has 
been engaged for 35 years in the manufacture of farm im¬ 
plements, and has added many valuable improvements to 
the expedition of farm work in that time. He has for years 
manufactured his well known Fanning Mills. He makes 
them of nine sizes, which have a capacity for cleaning 
grain from 40 to 400 bushels per hour. These fans range in 
price from $32 to $90. The cut represents a No. 1 Farm 
Fan, which sells for $35. We will present this to any 
person sending us only 33 subscribers at $1.50 each [or we 
will forward it on receipt of the price, $35], the receiver 
to pay the freight from the manufactory in either case. 
BRADLEY HARROW—TEETH INCLINED. 
No. 203.-Bradley’s Reversible Har¬ 
row. —It is claimed by the manufacturers that no im¬ 
plement for working the soil has ever been invented 
which meets such a variety of requirements as this. The 
frame is made of wrought iron, strong and durable; the 
teeth of solid steel, chisel-pointed, which can easily be 
lengthened or shortened, according to the requirements 
of the soil. As the Harrow is made in sections, hinged 
together, it is flexible, and conforms to uneven surfaces. 
It is thoroughly effective in pulverizing lumpy ground, in 
preparing green sward for a crop, and in covering grain. 
The teeth are pivoted; when the Harrow is drawn in one 
direction, they slope, and can then be used as cultivators, 
for covering seed, or harrowing lightly-turned sod with¬ 
out disturbing it; when the Harrow is reversed, the teeth 
BRADLEY HARROW REVERSED—TEETH UPRIGHT, 
are upright, and perform the ordinary work of the com¬ 
mon harrow. The use of these implements is one or 
the modern improvements in agriculture. Manufactured 
by Bradley & Co., Syracuse, N. Y. The style we oiler 
(45 teeth) is made in three sections, 15 solid teeth in each 
section (6 feet wide). Price, $25. We will supply it for 
25 subscriptions, at $1.50 each. Receiver to pay freight. 
No. 204 .—Victor Five-Hoed Seed Drill. 
—There are many farmers who do not feel able to in¬ 
vest a large sum of money in farm implements. Munv 
such persons have small farms that require but little 
labor to cultivate 
them. To meet a 
long felt want by 
this class of most 
worthy citizens,Mr. 
Ewald Over, of In- 
dianopolis, Ind.,has 
invented and per¬ 
fected a five-hoed 
Seed Drill, to be operated by one horse. These drills are 
provided with a graduated forced feed and do their work 
as well as the best ten-hoed drill in the market, and are 
especially adapted for sowing small grain of all kinds. 
They are substantially made, light in weight, and cheap 
in price. For 25 subscribers we will present one of 
these five-hoed drills [or will send one on receipt of 
the price, $25], the receiver to pay freight in each case.
