It pitches into mows, over and under purlin beams, and into any place where a hand fork will work. 
It stacks Hay and Straw in the held, making high, and long ricks. 
Be sure and get the very best Fork, one that will hot break and get out of repair. Do not buy an inferior article simply 
because it is cheap. Our Fork is not an untried experiment, but lias stood the severest test during the past season, and re¬
