ALLEN’S PLANET MORSE HOE 
is a new tool of great excellence, completed after ten years of 
experiment, by our S. L. Allen, a practical farmer. It is strong 
and well made, and the blades are tempered steel, polished. It 
is especially auapted to the wants of Market Hardeners, Broom 
Corn, Tobacco, Cotton, Illce, and Hod Crowe) 1 *, and allloveis 
of thorough work. It expands to work rows from 18 inches 
to 3 feet apart, and with an extra pair of hoes, 4 feet apart. It 
cultivates shallow or deep, and is a thorough weedkiller ; saves 
most of the hand hoe.ng, and manes the remainder easy. It 
leaves the ground level or ridged at desired, opens furrows, 
hills, etc. ft is steady running, and when used as a hoe, a culti¬ 
vator, or liiller, it is super or to any other similar tool. No 
farmer should he without them.
