To make money at farming It is necessary 
to use the best labor-saving and time-saving 
implements. The cost of cultivation Is 
brought down to the lowest notch with the 
Iron Age l’ivot Wheel Cultiva¬ 
tor. The work of cultivation Is done 
quickest and easiest. The wheels, guided by 
the feet, carrv the gangs of teeth to right or 
left, as desired Pivots have hardened steel 
ball-bearings. Gangs can be reduced to three 
or even two teeth. Equipped with one pair 
plows, shields and fallow tooth attachment. 
Does excellent work, even on hillsides or 
among very crooked or irregular rows.
