Great Grain Gain 
Keep the ground stirred with the Success Anti-Clog Weeder and Cultivator, and your grain 
will grow faster and yield from io to 20 bushels per acre more. With this greatest of all cultivators 
oats or wheat may be cultivated as easily as corn. 
The only Weeder made that has flat , spring-steel teeth. Warranted not to break or to clog 
with weeds. If any teeth break the first year, they will be replaced free. Light, strong, angle -steel 
frame, adjustable shafts and handles. Earns its cost the first season. Saved five times its COSt 
in a season on one farm. A boy with a horse and a Success Weeder can weed and cultivate 20 acres 
in a day; both weeding and cultivating will be done better than with any other machine or by any 
other method. Every farmer in the land needs and should have 
Hallock’s SUCCESS SB WEEDER 
“Please ship me another Success Anti-clog Weeder. I loaned mine to a neighbor 
to putin oats with and it did the work perfectly.’’ 
A. J. Johnson, West Berlin, Mass. 
“ Have tried the Success Anti-clog Weeder on oats and it works flue !” 
Jacob F. Forney, Calcium, Pa. 
“ Enclosed find Money Order for four more Weeders. Please ship by first freight, 
as the parties are in a hurry for them. Those I have already sold are giving excellent 
satisfaction. One man says he would not exchange his for twenty-five men.” 
Chas. H. Hartung, Burket, Ind. 
“Please send two more Weeders. Have been too busy with crops to talk 
Weeders, but since we began to use ours, there is no need for talk ; the Weeder speaks 
for itself. Please rush them, the parties are waiting for them.” 
T. Holton Orcutt, London, Ohio. 
Many farmers are making money selling the Success Anti-clog Weeder. 
The first order from each town secures special price and agency. 
Prices and full information mailed free. Be sure to give name of county when you write.

A Winning Combination. 
For the Dairy 
Farmer a herd of 
good dairy cows 
and a Little Giant 
Separator make a 
winning combina¬ 
tion. A good herd 
is always a profit- 
a b 1 e investment, 
yet the returns 
from it can be in¬ 
creased by 20 per cent by the use of the 
Separator. Send for circulars.
