How Do You 
Cultivate ? 
1 
By the old methods, or the new—the Hallock Success Anti-clog Weeder 
method, the method that is bringing increased crops with less work, saving 
time and money for hundreds of farmers all over the land. If you haven’t investi¬ 
gated the Success method, we want to tell you about it—how it accomplishes more 
work than three ordinary cultivators, why it leaves the field cleaner, clearer than twenty 
men with twenty hoes could leave it. Write us to-day. The experience of hundreds of 
farmers is at your service for the asking—and a reward of $ioo if you find one letter or testimonial 
false. We want to prove to every farmer in the land that 
5 
Success 
HALLOCK’S 
clog Weeder and Cultivator 
is the greatest labor, time and money saving farm implement of the century. This is a large claim, but we can prove 
it to you if you will send us your address—can prove to you that hundreds of farmers used nothing else on their fields 
last year but the Success Weeder, and never had such clean fields and large crops. 
We sold more Weeders last year than all other weeder manufacturers combined. It isn’t hard to find the reason. 
The Success Weeder does more work than any other weeder, because it is the only weeder built on the new flat tooth 
principle. Let us explain why. Write us at once. Whatever increases the yield of crops and decreases the cost of 
cultivating should interest you. Send off the postal to-day, and don’t forget to mention county.

All the World 
Knows 
what this trade mark means. They have learned 
that It stands for unequaled qualily in the first essent ial of good agriculture—i. e. 
A GOOD PLOW. 
The stamp, “Oliver Chilled” appearing on the finished plow, or on the 
smallest fitting or separate part, is a guarantee of excellence. Don’t let any 
dealer sell you something else, declaring tliat it is “just as good,” for there is 
nothing as good of the plow kind as 
The “Oliver Chilled Plow.” 
Sold by Every Oliver Agent Everywhere. 
Our descriptive matter is interesting and instructive. We mail it free to 
all inquirers. Write to-day before you forget it.
