Get io to 20 bushels more oats or wheat per acre by right culti¬ 
vation. Begin right by preparing the ground for sowing with the 
Success Anti-Clog Weeder and Cultivator. When the grain comes up, 
cultivate it—as you would corn—with the Weeder. Keeps the surface 
of the ground mellow, kills the weeds just starting. Better than an extra 
load of fertilizer. The only tool that can be used to cultivate grain with¬ 
out injuring it. The best weeding machine for all crops ever invented.

is just what thousands of farmers are seeking—what every farmer should have. 
Has 39 flat, pliant spring-steel teeth that weeds can’t clog. Teeth are remov¬ 
able and warranted for one year. Handles and shafts adjustable. Angle-steel 
frame—least weight, greatest strength. 
“I have given the Success Anti-Clog Weeder a thorough trial and of all tools for 
weeding and cultivating, it is ahead ! I put in xny oats with it, and my son says he can 
do more and better work harrowing sod grass with it than he can with any spring tooth 
harrow made. The weeder leaves the ground thoroughly pulverized. A neighbor 
worked 13 acres of corn with it in 8 hours, and says it’s the best cultivator he ever saw.” 
C. N. WEST, Hollister, Pa. 
“Have tried the Success Anti-Clog Weeder on oats and it worked fine.” 
JACOB F. FORNEY, Calcium, Pa. 
"I received three Success Anti-Clog Weeders on Thursday last and all are sold. I think I have 
sold all the weeders that have been sold in this section this Spring, and there are three or four 
agents here for other weeders.” F. C. LANG WORTHY, Brookfield, N. Y. 
“Received the Success Anti-Clog Weeders all right and have sold all of them. They have given good satisfaction. I have sold them in several different 
towns so have them well advertised. I want lots of territory for next year.” GEO. HOWES, Moretown, Vt»
