HALLOCK’S SUCCESS 
CLOC WEEDS and CULTIVATOR 
READ THE TESTIMONY: 
Messrs. D. Y. Hai„lock <fc Son, York, Pa. Whitesboro, N.Y. 
Gentlemen —Last season I used one of your Success Anti-clog Weeders. Bought 
it of my brother, It. H. Jones, and I wish to let you know how rnu<Hi pleased I am with 
the Weeder. One of my neighbors was afraid to buy, but he was not afraid to borrow. 
He borrowed mine and said lie went over his turnips with it and was very much 
pleased with the Weeder and the good work it did. 
For myself I can say a great deal of my corn—never saw a hoe in the field during 
the entire season. One piece I planted a little too thick; so when it was about one 
foot high I wished to thin it out so it would ear better. So I took the Weeder and 
started in ; went lengthwise and crosswise, and every other way that I could drive my 
horse, thinking it might break off some of the stalks; but 1 can safely say that I did 
not break off two stalks in the whole field. 
Before I had commenced to use my Weeder many of my neighbors thought 
that it would tear up the corn and potatoes. But after they had seen 
me give it this thorough trial they were convinced that it would 
not harm the corn in the least. The fact is, 1 am sure the 
. Weeder will not injure any crop grown on the farm. It 
is very important, however, that 
the Weeder be started early. If the 
weeds are allowed to get* a good 
start the Weeder will simply cul¬ 
tivate them, as it does the crop. 
Yours truly, W. B. Jones. 
Center, N. Y. 
Messrs. D. Y. Hallock & Son, 
Gentlemen —How about the price of your Weeder 
for the coming season? Is it the same as last 
year ? 1 intend to sell quite a good many. I used the 
Weeder I purchased of you last year on everything 
I raised, including even onions, and it worked to per¬ 
fection on everything. I can honestly say I would not be 
without it for $50, if I could not get another just like it. 
Yours truly, T. B. NICHOLS. 
Beware of 
lnfr 1 ngemeii ts 
Messrs. D. Y. Hallock <fc Son, York. Pa. Morley, Mich. 
Dear Sirs —Your favor of recent date, wishing to know if I am going to handle 
the Success Anti-clog Weeder the coming season received. I certainly am if you will 
permit me to, and I Intend to push them for all they are worth. 
I let my Weeder go wherever the farmers wanted to try it, and they all pronounced 
it a grand success; declared that it did fine work. The Weeder that I kept for my own 
use I would not take 820 for if I could not get another just like it. 
I sold one Weeder to a neighbor near by very late in the season, and I will tell 
you what he did with it. He planted one acre of potatoes quite late, and lie tended 
them entirely with the Weeder until he went to hill them up, and spent but five hours 
work all told on the acre of potatoes. He told me he kept the time carefully that 
he spent in cultivating them. Said he started the Weeder before they were up, and 
went over the potatoes frequently. Yours truly, J. W. Hardin. 
Russellvilk, Ark., December 24th, 1897. 
“I had the best of success with the Success Anti-clog Weeder and Cultivator. I 
can truthfully say that I never used a tool thatequalled it in young cotton and corn. 
I saved half of the hoeing and plowing by running the Weeder. I beat all my neigh¬ 
bors raising corn, and equalled any of them in producing cotton, with half the expense. 
Several neighbors say they want one. I want the agency for Pope and Yell counties, 
not just for 1898, but until all the farmers get one. They will all be sure to buy sooner 
or later.” B. H. Allen. 
Write for full information. 
The first order from your town will secure special price and agency. 
Be sure to give name of County. D. Y. HALLOCK & SON, BOX 805 , YORK, PA. 
Messrs. D. Y. Hallock & Son, York, Pa. Irwin, Pa. 
Dear Sirs —I intend to sell just as many Weeders as I can this Spring. I bought 
one last Spring for my own use and they are certainly a complete success, and I would 
not think of farming withoutone. Last Spring, in April, I contracted to cut and haul 
to the saw mill a lot of lumber; so I took all my men away, leaving only my fourteen 
year old boy on the farm. Now, I will tell you what he did. He took the entire care 
of thirty-five acres of corn and twelve acres of potatoes, working both crops entirely 
with the Weeder, and I never saw a finer crop In my life. 
The secret of Success in using your Weeder is to start it early, before anything 
grows, and keep the soil stirred so no weeds will grow. No farmer can afford to farm 
without a Weeder, and all will own one just as soon as they realize its value. 
Yours truly, Hezekiah Gongamere.

Mo Side Draft—the 
line of draft Is from 
the center of greatest 
_ resistance. High broad 
faced drive wheels afford perfect trac¬ 
tion and power. Better ask for our cat¬ 
alogue embracing Mowers, Binders,> 
Reapers, Rakes, Disk Cultivators 
and Harrows, etc., before you buy. 
The power is applied with a chain 
from a largo powerful sprocket attached to 
the main axle. The gearing Is all placed be¬ 
hind the axle. This allows the use of a long de¬ 
tachable bearing crank shaft. A long crank shaft fs 
the salvation of any mower. We use a Solid Piece 
main Frame. We use our own 
Perfect Roller Bearings, 
thus reducing the draft to the minimum. The 
foot lift in conjunction with the carrying spring 
enables the driver to easily lift the bar to any desired 
1 height))- passes over all ordinary obstacles. We use 
serrated guard pi ates on al 1 mowers 
they greatly increase the 
cutting ability..

THE DANIELS’ NEW PLOW SULKY 
will work 
equally as 
well on 
rough stony 
land as on the Western prairies. It is unlike any other sulky In 
the world. Can be attached to any common walking plow in five 
minutes' time, and is warranted not to increase the draft one 
pound. So simple a child strong enough to drive a team can 
operateit. Will turn a square corner without raising the plow. 
The only plow made with a foot lever to start the point of plow 
abruptly in the ground or elevate It to skim over the top of fast 
stones, around roots, etc. We also have 
THE BEST STEEL LAND ROLLER 
in the world, with or without Grass Seeder, and at the same
