The best weeder tooth is the one that’s most flexible and springy. This 
flat , highly tempered steel tooth is about ioo per cent, more flexible than a round 
tooth. Helps to make the Success Anti-clog Weeder about ioo per cent, more 
effective than other weeders. The thirty-nine teeth are so arranged on the 
frame that weeds can t clog them. The only weeder that has flat teeth; 
the only one that can’t clog. The only machine that will do as good 
and careful work as a hand hoe, and as much work as 20 hoes. Thous¬ 
ands of farmers used it last year; few farmers will be without

Better than a spring-tooth harrow for making the ground ready for planting.

“Have tested the Success Anti-clog Wetv£° thoroughly. I consider it worth a dollar a day to me every 
day that I use it. I cultivated young co’^Vitli it and had no trouble in keeping the weeds eradicated on 
sixty acres of corn with one weeder. An rg> client tool for potatoes and vegetables and for covering grass seed— 
Hungarian, crimson clover, millet, etc.” A. Brown, Elesbery, Mo.

“The Success Anti-clog Weeders give graud satisfaction ; everybody is delighted with them. Those that I sold are doing 
splendid work.” C. A. Woodworth, Popes Mills, N. Y. 
“Enclosed find money order for five more Success Weeders. I want this territory for ’98. Think I can sell several times
