“ I don’t like that cat, its got splinters in 
its feet,” was the excuse of a four-year-old for 
throwing the kitten down the area. 
A French officsr said to a Swiss colonel 
“ How is it that your countrymen always 
tight for money, while we French always 
fight for honor?” The Swiss shrugged his 
shoulders and replied, “ I suppose it is because 
people are apt to fight for that which they 
n?ed most." 
“ Is Mrs. Brown iu ?” inquired a gentleman 
of the servant who responded to his ring at 
a door-bell.—“No, sir; she’s not at home.”— 
“ Well, I am sorry,” said the gentleman, in a 
regretful tone, “ as I owe her some money, 
and called to pay it.” Whereupon a voice 
from over the balustrades was beard: “Oh, 
I am in; to be sure I am 1 Why, Sally, didn t 
you know that ? Ask the gentleman to walk 
in.”

The “ACME ” subjects the soil to the action of a Crusher and Leveler, and to the Cutting-, lotting, filming 
process of double rows of STEEL COULTERS, the pecul ; ir shape and arrangement of which give immense cutting 
power. Thus the three operations of crushing- lumps, leveling off the ground and thoroughly pulverizing the soil are 
performed at one and the same time, the entire absence of Spikes or Spring Teeth avoids pulling up 
lubbish. It is especially adapted to inverted sod and hard clay where other Harrows utterly fail; works perfectly on light 
soil, and is the only Harrow or Cultivator that cuts over the entire surface of the ground. 
Highly commended by scientific and practical Farmers, many of whom pronounce it to 
be the most valuable recent improvement in farm Machinery, while 
All agree that “The judicious use of an implement like the '‘Acme” 
“Pulverizing* Harrow, Clod Crusher and Leveler in the preparation and 
“ thorough pulverization of the Soil before planting will increase the ’ 
“ yield from Five to Ten Dollars per Acre.” 
If your dealer does not keep the “ACME” for sale, don’t let him palm off an inferior 
tool on you by assuring you that he has something better, but SATISFY YOURSELF by 
ordering one ON TRIAL. We will send it on trial., and if it doss not suit, you may send it 
return freight charges. We don’t ask for money or Note until after you
