No. 180.—Acme Pulverizing Harrow/.— 
Price $25.00.—A defect in our agriculture is the lack of 
a thorough preparation of the soil to receive the seed. 
We offer the “Acme” as an implement that not only pul¬ 
verizes the soil, but crushes the clods and is an effective 
leveler. It will be seen by the engraving that the im¬ 
plement, instead of the usual spike-like teeth, has a row 
of double coulters. These are made of the best steel 
and bent into such a peculiar shape that, when the im¬ 
plement passes over the surface, these coulters cut, lift, 
and turn the soil in the most complete manner, leaving 
it in the condition of a thoroughly prepared seed-bed in 
a garden. We have watched the improvements that have 
of late years been made in the “Acme” with interest, 
and add it to our Premium List in the belief that we 
place within easy reach of the farmcrone of the most ef¬ 
fective implements of its kind. Thorough work with 
the “ Acme ” will tell at the harvest. Presented for
