AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
[Mabch. 
Tlie Phifer « SKELETON 55 Wheel 
Sang Plow and Cultivator 
for Corn, Cotton, and Potatoes, for the season of 1800 is con¬ 
structed under an entirely new patent (June 16, 1868). The 
4 cast-iron Hangers (of the former patents) are substituted 
by a single wrouglit-iron Rbck-sliafr. The draught is direct¬ 
ly from the beams of the plows, and consequently no neck 
draught on the horses. It is much more simple and efficient 
than our previous manufacture. 
The “Phifer Plow ” was awarded : 
The Gold Medal, at the Utica International Plow Trial, 
September, 1867. 
Silver Medal, (Highest award) at the Maryland In¬ 
stitute, October. 1S67. 
First Premium, at the Mechanics and Agricultural 
Association, New Orleans,,La., January, 1868, after the sever¬ 
est tests and most determined opposition. For Agencies and

HON. H. S. RANDALL, 
President New York Wool Growers' Association, and 
Author of Sheep Husbandry, says in Rural New Yorker: 
“ We much like the Sheep Shears made by Henky Sey¬ 
mour & Co. They possess the superior advantage of being 
made from one piece of metal, which gives them solid 
springs. The stops are tempered so they cannot wear away 
and let the blades lap. Among their varieties we entirely 
prefer for fine wool sheep, Strong’s Patent Thumb-piece 
Shears. Tlie .Thumb-piece gives better facilities for clipping 
the legs, heads, etc., of any kind of sheep. I also use their 
Toe Nippers. No. Sis most used. I have tested the articles, 
and such is my verdict.”
