_ Is adapted to all soils and all work for which a Harrow is needed. 
Flat crushing spurs pulverize lumps, level and smooth the ground, 
^ while at the same time curved coulters cultivate, lift and turn the 
entire surface of the soil. The backward slant of the coul- 
ters prevents tearing up rubbish, and reduces the draft. 
Made entirely of cast steel and wrought iron, 
r" ■ and therefore practicnlly indestructible.

The man who plants for profit, must work wnne 
the sun shines. Waste time means money lost* 
He must have tools that will do the work Quick 
and do it right. The PLANET JR. Labor-Sav¬ 
ing Karin Tools are modern essentials to success¬ 
ful competition. They are money savers, labor 
savers, time savers. They make it possible for a 
man to do a half a dozen things in the time it 
used to take to do one. \ ou can see their pictures, 
learn their uses, satisfy yourself as to their merits,

IT T " mu A PERFECT SKIMMER. 
i HAVE a 6 -can, a 4 -can, and a 3 -can Cooley Cabinet Creamer. I 
IflH 1 think they are as perfect a Creamer as can be made. 1 have 
m ' my temperature at 40° when I strain the milk in, and I can get 
W L— WfrV every bit of cream in 4 hours, testing by the Babcock Tester, as I 
have tried jt repea t e< jiy a nd could not get a trace of butter fat. T he 
butter made from the cream has no rival for grain and flavor. I 
have seen a good many Creamers, but none to beat the Cooley 
Cabinet. It separates all the cream perfectly and is easily cleaned 
an | d hav r e e tried the Centrifugal Cream Separators in competition with iff , 07, j] ffi 
my Cooley Creamers, and prefer the Creamers to the Separator. $
