The Two Ways 
Which way are you doing your weeding and cultivating? By the old-fashioned pro¬ 
cesses? if you are, isn’t it time you wrote to us to find out about the modern way of 
cultivating—the Halloek way ? Thousands of farmers all over the country are saving 
time and money, adding ten to twenty bushels an acre more to the annual yield by the 
use of the Halloek Success Anti-clog Weeder and Cultivator, the greatest among 
modern agricultural implements. Why not you? Write to-day. Let us tell you 
what others have done, how farmers in all sections used no other machine in the 
field last year but 
HALLOCK’S 
Anti- 
Clog 
Weeder 
AND CULTIVATOR 
and never had such clean fields or good crops. It costs you nothing to investigate but the stamp in writing. 
The new ideas in weeding and cultivating will alone repay you for the trouble. Don’t confound the new 
weeder with the old-fashioned round tooth weeder. Hallock’s Success Weeder and Cultivator is built on a 
new principle—the flat and flexible tooth principle. This makes it equal to the work of twenty men or three 
ordinary cultivators. Hundreds of testimonials—and a reward of $100.00 if you find one false.

whether manufacturing or dealing in the same will be promptly prosecuted. Agents handling our 
weeders are requested to send us names of persons thus infringing on our patents. _

Itools in one. It sows in drills or drops in hills at any distance, opening, sowing, 
covering, rolling and marking the next row, all at once; it is several kinds of wheel 
hoe, cultivator, rake and plough, changing to either very quickly. For all-se—"

^^^^^immense Iron Age business. It’s the work that’s behind 
the machines and the excellent work they do in the field and garden that 
sells them ill increasing numbers every year. Our success is built on work 
—not talk. See uu Irbn Age machiue at work and it will talk for itself. 
It does the best work in the least time. The latest 
Iron Age Implements 
are described in the handsome Iron Age Booh for 1899 which ' 
we send free. All the merits of Iron Agr ideas and work¬ 
manship are contained in the Improvtd-Hobbln* 
Potato Planter, made by the Iron Age people. Per¬ 
fect in principle and construction it has won its way 
everywhere by the perfect work it does. Plants as 
surely as by hand; spaces exactly; sows fertilizer 
just right. Plants from 4 to 7 acres a day. First 
order in new territory secures special price.
