ff Pulverizing Harrow, Clod 
Crusher and Leveler, 
Siilt/. 
The ‘'ACME” subjects the soil to the action of a Crustier 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 Teetli avoids pulling up rubbish. 
It is especially adapted to inverted sod, hard clay and “slough land” where other Harrows utterly fail, and also 
works perfectly on light soil. Sent ON TltlAL to any responsible farmer in any part of the United States.

Farmers and Sportsmen.— The interest of farmers and 
decent sportsmen are identical. It is for the benefit of both 
that lawless ruffians, armed with impudence and shot-guns, 
eliould be surpressed. Scores of shooters, who in the cities 
and towns where they live are law-abiding because of their 
fear of the police, go out every season, and between seasons, 
trespassing on the farmers’ lands, breaking down his fences, 
peppering his live stock with shot, shooting his pigeons and 
poultry, and conducting themselves generally in a manner 
that ought to land them in the State prison. Ttiis pestilen¬ 
tial horde is yearly increasing. The respectable portion of 
society may well ask if there is any remedy for this evil, 
and what that remedy is ?—From the Forest and Stream, 
Nov. 3, 1881. 
The editors of the Forest and Stream, (39 Park Row,
