Clearing Weedy Land. — There are two 
ways of clearing weedy land; one is to plow 
under the weeds and barrow the soil in such a 
way as to keep then) below the surface where 
they will decay. The other is to use some im¬ 
plement that will do both of these at the same 
time, and 90 save labor and time. The 
“ACME” Pulverizing Harrow, Clod Crusher 
and Lcvoler, is the best implement in exis¬ 
tence for clearing land of weeds, both after 
the olow or by its own separate use. On 
plowed laud it forces the weeds still deeper 
in the soil and turns its small farrows over 
them, covering them out of the way. On 
stubble laud it drugs down the weeds, cuts 
them up, tears out the roots, loosens the soil, 
and works the weeds into it, and thus not 
only kills every weed, but puts the laud into 
the best condition for a crop. See advertise¬ 
ment on page 205,
