ALLEN’S PLANET Jr. Silver Medal Seed-drills 
AND WHEEL HOES PERFECTED FOR ’76. 
They “ SOW like a charm; ” no packing of seed in the hopper, no 
crushing it, no difficulty with chaffy or soaked seeds, no watching, 
no pausing or waste at the ends, no irregularity in depth, no skips, 
no springs or gearing to wear out, no noise, no equal. No. 2, 
holds 2K qts.—No. 3, holds K hush, and sows Fertilizers. 
The Combined machine, the Agkicultubist Premium, (see Pre¬ 
mium List), holds 1 qt., and “ is a perfect seed-sower .” It has one 
pair of hoes for general work, one for heavy furrows, a plow and 
subsoiler. THE DOUBLE WHEEL HOE (see cut) works easier, 
better, and six to twelve times faster than the hand hoe. “Wheels 
can be set two, six, or ten inches apart. It has three different pairs 
of hoes, and a pair of subsoilers ; all our blades are steel, temper¬ 
ed and polished. Will work 6, 9, or 10 inch rows, two at onoe, 
often saving cost in a day. 
Our NEW polished steel blade HOUSE HOE, perfected after ten 
years of experiment, and trial by our S. L. Allen, a practical farmer. 
Saves most of the hoeing, and makes the remainder easy: leaves 
the ground level or ridged as desired, opens furrows, hills, and 
cultivates shallow or deep, and is a thorough weed killer. Especi¬ 
ally adapted to the wants of Market-Gardeners, Broom Corn, 
Tobacco, Cotton, Bice, and Root Growers, and all lovers of thorough work: should be owned by every farmer. Send for 
cuts with full description and testimonials, free. Mention this paper. S. L. ALLEN & CO., Sole Manfrs., 119 S. 4th St.,

“ CHAMPION ” HOG RINGER, RINGS, and HOLDER. 
The only Ring invented that will effectually prevent Hogs from Rooting. Be¬ 
ing a Double Ring, and having no sharp points in the flesh, it does not cause ir¬ 
ritation on soreness, as in other Rings. The smooth part of the wire being in the 
nose, it heals rapidly. One of our rings being equal to two or three of any other 
ring, makes this ring cheaper than the cheapest. Time and money saved in using 
the Champion. One operation, and the work is done. 
Price of Hog Ringer, 75c. each ; Coppered Rings, 50c. per 3 00 ; 
Tinned Hog Rings, GOc. per 100 ; Hog Holder, 75c. each.

I have invented a better 
self-feeding Hay, Straw and 
Stalk Cutter (on a new 
principle) than the world 
has ever seen before, be¬ 
cause it is more simple, 
FIVE TIMES more 
durable, and will cut 
by hand or liorse-nower. 
faster, and a great deal 
easier, than any other. 
The $ 11 , $12 or $13 sizes 
_ easily cut by hand-power 
30 to 00 bushels per hour. The $19 size cuts by power 180 
bushels per hour. Larger sizes I'A to 2 tons per hour. 
I have also invented the best, cheapest, and easiest 
worked Turnip, Pumpkin, Potato and Carrot Cutter, The 
$13 size, turned by a boy, easily cuts a bushel in less than 
two minutes. Yon are not required to pay for any of my 
cutters until tried on your farm and found entirely satis¬ 
factory, and that all I claim for them is true. I make 
allowance for freight. Circulars free. See November
