We are assured not only by the manufacturers of these tools, but by those who used them last year <whlch 
was their tlrst upon the market) that by uslna them aocordliiK to directions the owner has no need to hand- 
hoe his crops at all, but that the crops are finer than those grown In any other way, and the Helds are kept 
entirely free from weeds, or so nearly so that a single handful cannot be found on an acre late in the sea¬ 
son. One reliable gentleman Informs us that with one of these he took the entire care of two acres of corrr 
planted on sod land In just eight hours’ time between planting and cutting time. And he adds that he hud 
aline crop and scarcely a weed could be found the last of the season. 
That they are a perfect success Is shown by the fact that they met with a large sale last year in every 
State east of the Mississippi River, and north of Mason * Dixon’s line; also in eight other States and In 
Canada, They were warranted in every case to give satisfaction, or the purchase money would be 
refunded, but as yet the Company has not been asked to refund one cent for any reason whatever. 
They are adapted for the cultivation of all farm hoed crops, includivfi all the veyetabtes. This statement 
may sound strange, but the circular gives ample proof of Us correctness. 
We believe that in the use of this tool every farmer will find that which he has so long wished but 
hardly hoped for. entire relief from the drudgery and hard work consequent upon growing hoed crops. The 
manufacturers. The Z. Breed W. A C. Co., No. 2ti Merchants Bow, Boston, Muss , Issue a copiously riustrated 
and very Interesting circular, which they will bo pleased to send to all those who will send them their 
names. In It are found strong testimonials from gentlemen with a leputatatlon In their own S^tates If not 
throughout the nation. All speak of this Implement in the highest terms of praise. One New York farmer 
says It saved him Its price In one day. A Massachusetts farmer says he would not do without one If he had
