PULVERIZING HARROW 
Clod Crusher 
and Leveler, 
The “ ACME” subjects the soil to the action of a Steel Crushei* and JLevelerj and to the Cuttingry Eiftiust^ 
TuriJiiifi: proce>;8 of double ganqs of CAST STEE.E COUETEK S, the peculiar shape and arrangement of which give 
iinniense, cutting.power. ,Thus the three operations of crushing lumps, leveling ofi'the ground and thoroughly 
pulverizing the soil are perforined at the same time. The eutire absence of Spikes or Spring Teeth avoids 
pulling up rubbish.^ It is especially adapted to inverted sod and hard clay, where other Harrows utterly fail; w'orks 
perfectly on light soil, and is the only Harrow that cuts over the eutire surface of the ground.
