Its Success in Every Market where intro¬ 
duced bears out this claim. 
A farmer can plow two acres more corn per day 
with it, than with the ordinary Cultivator. Can do 
the work much better and easier than with any 
other. 
Its merits understood, you can not afford to buy 
any other of the many Spring Cultivators, which 
the success of this Cultivator have brought out in 
the past year or two.

Treat’s Injurious Insects of the Farm and 
Garden. $2.00 
Those who remember Mrs. Treat’s articles in “Hearth 
and Home,” and other periodicals, need not be told of 
the pleasing manner in which she presents scientific 
facts. But she is more than a popular writer; as an 
original investigator, she has added much to our know¬ 
ledge of both Plants and Insects, and those who are 
familiar with Darwin's works, are aware that he gives 
her credit for important observations and discoveries. 
This book is entirely new, and will be found one of 
the most valuable, as a popular work, that has ever 
been issued. By Mrs. Mart Treat. Fully Hlus- 
trated. Cloth, 12mo.
