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 once, 
Often saving cost in a day.

years of experiment, and trial by our S. L. Allen, a practical farmer.

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, Rice, and Soot Growers, and all lovers of thorough work: should be owned by every farmer. Send for
