AND WHEEL, HOES PERFECTED FOR ’7S. 
They “ SOW like a charm; ” no packing of seed ill the hopper, no 
crushing it, no difficulty with chaffy or soaked seeds, no watching, 
no pausing or waste at the ends, no irregularity in depth, no skips, 
no springs or gearing to wear out, no noise, no equal. No. 2, 
holds V/ z quarts. 
No. 3, holds bushel. 
The Combined machine the Agricultubist Premium, (see Pre¬ 
mium List), holds 1 qt., and “ is a perfect seed-sower.” It lias one 
pair of hoes for general work, one for heavy furrows, a plow and 
subsoiler. THE DOUBLE WHEEL HOE : works easier, better, and 
six to twelve times faster than the hand hoe. Wheels can be set 
two, six, or ten inches apart. It lias three dili'erent pairs of hoes, 
and a pair of subsoilers ; all our blades are steel, tempered ana 
polished. Will work C, 9,10, or 12 inch rows, two at once, often 
saving cost in a day. 
Our NEW polished steel blade HORSE HOE, perfected after ten 
years of experiment, and trial by our S. L. Alien, a practical farmer. 
Saves most of the hoeing, and makes the remainder easy ; leaves 
the ground level or ridge.cl as desired, opens furrows, hills, and cultivates shallow or deep, and is a thorough weed killer. 
Especially adapted to the wants of Market-Gardeners, Broom. Corn, Tobacco, Cotton, ltice, and Root Growers, and all 
lov-ers of thorough work: should be owned by every farmer. Lull Desciiptive Cnculais and testimonials free. Mention

“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 Hog Ringer, 75c. each ; Coppered Rings, 50c. per 1 00 ; 
Tinned Hog Rings, 60c. per 100 ; Hog Holder, 75c. each.
