The Cooley Creamer purchased last year gives great satisfaction. We are selling print butter made from it

tirely by hand process, but have become convinced that the "Eureka” Butter-worker cannot possibly 
Injure the graiu of the butter. L. B. HALSEY', Sheffield Farm. Mahwah, Bergen Co.. N. J. *

ing, Turning process of double rows of STEEL 
CO l I.TEKn, the peculiar shape and arrangement 
of which give immense catting power. Thus the 
three operations of crushing lumps, leveling off

pertorined at one tiiur. The entire absence ol 
Jspikc.s or Spring Teeth avoid* pul log up rubbish. 
It is especially adapted to Inverted sod end hard

fectly on light soil and is the only Harrow or Cu tt-
