How Many Hoes 
Would it take to work 20 acres of corn in a day? How many dollars would the hoeing cost? ^ A big boy and a 
liorse can weed and cultivate 20 acres of almost any crop in a day with the Success Anti-clog Weeder and Culti¬ 
vator. The greatest labor—time—money saving farm implement of the century. 
1 consider the Success Anti-clog Weeder and Cultivator a God-send to 
the farmers. This year I cultivated eighty acres of land in corn, peanuts, soja 
beans and black peas. I went over this whole crop every four days, thereby 
nipping in the bud all the grass and weeds that were continually starting, and 
keeping the crop in excellent growing condition all the time. On my peanut 
crop alone it saved its cost in labor. The Success Weeder and Cultivator is a 
labor saver and a yield increaser. It is the best thing I ever saw for putting in 
clover seed. I find many uses for it, and do not think a farmer can work to 
the best advantage without one.” A. F. Mathews. 
VVaveuly, Va., 1898. cv* 
The Success Anti-clog Weeder and Cultivator does its work to perfec¬ 
tion. I think it is the most perfect agricultural machine I ever used. I raised 
six acres of corn last year, and I unhesitatingly say that it saved me more 
than its cost in the cultivation of this crop alone. Two of my neighbors, to 
whom 1 loaned mine, have asked me to order weeders for them. 1 am sure I 
can sell a good many of them. I did no hand hoeing on my corn last season , 
and my neighbors remarked on the entire absence of weeds from my corn 
fields. Hand hoeing is the hardest and most expensive part of cultivation.” 
West Northfield, Mass., January 11, 1898.

is tbe only weeder made with flat 
Liberal inducements to farmers and 
teeth—twice as flexible, durable and effective as round teeth, 
others to sell the Success Weeder.
