The ACME ” subjects the soil to the action of a Crusher and Leveler, and to the Cutting', Lifting', Turning pro¬ 
cess of double rows of STEEL COULTERS, the peculiar shape and arrangement of which give immense cutting power. 
It does not conform to uneven surfaces of the ground (if it did, it manifestly could not properly be called a Leveler), 
but conforms (levels) uneven surfaces to itself. The three operations of crushing the lumps, leveling off the ground, and 
thoroughly pulverizing the soil, are performed at one and the same time. 
The entire absence of Spikes or Spring Teeth avoids pulling up rubbish. It is especially adapted to inverted sod 
and hard clay, where other Harrows utterly fail; works perfectly on light soil, and is the only Harrow or Cultivator that 
cuts over the entire surface of the ground.

“Gentlemen: The ‘Acme’ Harrow bought of you, 
was used by me in putting in order all my corn land, 
J >art of it being old blue grass sod, It worked splendid- 
y, made the soil fit for a garden, and did the work 
with ease to my team. Many of my neighbors saw it 
work, and will purchase next season. It is the best all 
work harrow I have ever owned or used.” 
“ Sirs: I take pleasure in recommending the ‘ Acme ’ 
Harrow: it is just what every good farmer wants. I can 
fit sod or hard clay ground in one-fourth the time and 
better than any tool I ever used. I have a forty-tooth 
steel tooth harrow ; also, a good Superior Drill, but the 
best farm implement on my farm is a No. 6 ‘ Acme’ Har¬ 
row. I would not take $50 for my harrow if I could not 
get another.” - 
“ Sirs: The ‘ Acme ’ Harrow 1 bought of your agent is 
all that is claimed for it. I could not have fitted my 
wheat ground with any other harrow. I am well satis¬ 
fied with my harrow.” - 
“ I prepared 400 acres of rice land with my * Acme ’ 
Harrows, and must say that I never had my ground so 
well prepared before.” 
“ Sirs: I would say, I like it as well as at first. Last 
spring I found it the thing to fit my fall plowing for a 
crop. I have used no other harrow this season. I have 
let several of my neighbors try it, and they all agree 
it is the ‘ boss 1 harrow. The soil I have used it on is 
heavy clay ; two or three have bought of your agent 
after trying mine, and others think they will buy in the 
Spring.” - 
“Gents: I used the ‘Acme’ Harrow I purchased from 
you last Spring, on a piece of stiff ‘ Buckshot ’ land well 
sodded with Bermuda grass. Broke the land, which was 
wet, with a sulky plow, ran the harrow three times over 
and sowed millet seed. Covered the seed by running the 
harrow over twice. The clods were leveled down, the land 
was put in better condition than I expected. The stand 
of millet was very fine, and the yield very good. The 
above was the roughest piece of land I ever prepared for 
small grain.” - 
“ I prepare my Potato ground with the ‘ Acme ’—then 
after furrowing out and dropping the seed, I cover with 
the ‘ Acme.’ It is the best Potato coverer in the world, 
and will pay for itself on a ten-acre potato field in one 
season.” 
“ Sirs: I used a No. 6 1 Acme ’ on 14 acres of sod for 
corn, fitted the ground in one-fourth the time and better 
than I could with any other harrow I ever saw. I used 
it to put in a part of my wheat; the wheat was covered 
better and looks better at this date than the rest of the 
field that was drilled and phosphated. The ‘ Acme ’ is 
the best harrow and leveler, and clod crusher I ever saw.” 
“ Gentlemen: I bought one of your ‘ Acme ’ Harrows 
and Pulverizers last Spring, and worked it on new in¬ 
verted sod, putting in flax. It worked like a charm, and 
is all that is claimed for it. The soil was a black, sandy 
loam, with some stone and gravel in it. Three times 
going over new breaking makes a fine seed bed. Every 
farmer should have one.” 
“I would not swap the ‘ Acme ’ for all the machines I 
ever saw for preparing sod, and when a machine will 
pulverize our Minnesota sod (as the ‘ Acme ’ does) you 
can rest assured that it will pulverize any sod the sun 
ever shone upon.” 
PAIR FLAY. 
If your dealer does not keep the “ ACME ” for sale, don’t let him palm of an Inferior 
tool on you by assuring you that he has something better, but SATISFY YOURSELF 
by ordering one OX TRIAL. We will send it on trial to any responsible Farmer in the 
United States, and if it does not suit, it may be sent back, we paying return freight 
charges. We don’t ask for Money or IVote until you have tried it on your own farm.
