The “ ACME ” subjects the soil to the action of a Crusher and Leveler, and at the same time to the Cutting, Lifting, 
Turning process of double rows of STEEL COULTERS, the peculiar shape and arrangement of which give immense cutting 
power. The entire absence of Spikes or Spring Teeth avoids pulling up rubbish. It is especially adapted to inverted 
sod, hard clay, and where other Harrows utterly fail, and it also works perfectly on light soil. 
The following extracts from testimonials are fair samples of the hundreds published in our pamphlet, and the fact that 
these testimonials come from forty-two different States and Territories serves to show the widespread popularity of the “Acme.” 
“ I have delayed reporting on the success of the ’ Acme ’ Harrow, because I wished to satisfy myself about its operation in all kinds of work. Xused it (the* Acme’) last spring in 
preparing some land for planting cotton, after the land had been broken up into four feet beds. The land was low white crawfish, heavily set in Bermuda and Cooa Grass. It had 
defied all my efforts for three years to put it in a condition to get a stand of cotton. This year I ran the ‘ Acme ’ Harrow over it twice, and it was left almost in as good a condition as a 
garden, and the stand of cotton was perfect. I also tried on Cotton Beds, which had been thrown up very high early in the season, for the purpose of drainage. I found it cut the 
beds down to the proper level and pulverized them thoroughly. I have used it in Bermuda Land in preparing for planting grain, and find that it puts the land in a better condition than 
I have been able to get from the UBe of any other implement.”-“ We have had no Winter freezes, and, to use a common expression, the soil, from continued and heavy rains, had ‘ run 
together,’ with surface hard and crusted. I ran the ‘ Acme ’ over it twice, and sowed clover in as well prepared seed bed as I ever saw in a garden.”-“ I never saw a better 
tool. I used it very severely on a five-acre piece of old pasture and full of small stone at that.” -“ Having used two ‘Acme’ harrows in the preparation of over three 
hundred acres of rice land, I can say that they have given me more satisfaction than any other harrow I have ever used. I was enabled this Beason to do away with the chopping alto¬ 
gether, thus saving from $3 to $5.50 per acre, and to cover the whole crop on both new and old land with a brush drawn by one mule at a cost of fifteen cents to the acre.”-" To 
cover grain with I never saw anything better.”-“ We have been plowing Corn on Green Sward that was harrowed by the ■ Acme,’ which had done its work so well and left 
the land so light that one furrow with the plow was found sufficient between the rows.”- “I used the ‘Acme,’ backsetting a piece of tough Prairie Sod, which I was going to 
let lay this summer to rot. The sods were smoothed down, leaving a good seed bed.”-“ Used it in black bottom ground, that very few plows will scour in, but the Coulters kept 
clean and bright.”-“For tobacco ground there is no implement better.”- “It is the best implement to cultivate orange groves and fruit orchards that has been 
introduced here in California.”-“It pulverizes corn stubble thoroughly without previous plowing, making an excellent seed bed for oats.”-“It is the best tool to 
-cut up thistles and weeds on land that has been plowed some time that I have ever seen.”-“ It will cover sowed corn and peas perfectly, where a common harrow will 
not cover half of them.”
