Letter from J. R. Farrington, Bwp't Maine State Agricultural College. 
Orono, Me., August 10,1875. 
Gentlemen .•—'We have this day tested by actual trial the efficiency of the Charter Oak Swivel Plow; It was used on dry, 
stiff, clay-loam, grass land, the ground was somewhat sloping, and the furrows were turned up the elope. The mold-board 
performed its work admirably, completely inverting the furrow-slice, and leaving it bottom-side up with care, I have long 
doubted tile possibility of constructing a swivel plow, which would do good work on level or slightly undulating land, X 
am no longer faithless, for I have seen the Charter Oak Plow accomplish this. 
Truly Yours, J. It. FARRINGTON, SupT.

« 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 or 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 Host Ringer, 75c. each ; Coppered Rings, 50c. per 100 ; 
Tinned Hog Rings, 30c. per 100 ; Hog Holder, 75c. each.
