Cla@a.p Corn Culture 
20 Acres a Day, Better than by Hand, with 
THOMAS’ SMOOTHING HARROW. 
81 Slanting Teeth of Tempered Steel for $25, 
The many small teeth being round and sloping back¬ 
ward do not tear up the strongly rooted corn, but effec¬ 
tually Destroy tUc Young Weed* on the surface, 
stirring the soil in as well as around the hill. A 
boy cau take entire care of 100 acres of corn, and thus 
obviate Hand-Hoeing entirely. The number, 
shape, and position of the round, slanting teeth render this 
harrow the most complete and rapid Pulverizer 
ever used, cutting the lumps with a downward draw-cut, 
instead of pushing them aside: for the same reason it 
draws very easily, and covers a wide surface. 
Wheat and all sown crops are benefited by cultivation, 
as certainly as corn or cabbage, which can be profitably 
done with the Harrow, 
Increasing the Yield 3 to 5 bushels per Acre. 
Farmers’Club, New York City, savs: “In potato culture 
it is really excellent: saves half the expense.’’ 
An agent writes us as follows: “I offered a circular to 
John Gritman (Springville, Iowa), an influential Quaker. 
He said, ‘ I don’t want that.’ Said I, ‘ Read it, it will do you 
no harm.’ He said, ‘ No, I have the thing itself; thee must 
not think we are so far behind the times. I sent $100 for four 
Harrows last spring.’ • Well,’ said I, ‘as you have used 
them, tell me, will they do all the papers say?’ He said, 
• I tell thee,William, this Harrow will do all the papers say 
it will.’ ” 
WM. E. BURNS, Monmouth, Ill., says: “I harrowed 
my corn and potatoes. One team'will do 20 acres a day.” 
I. A. XV. CAMPFIELD, Sullivan, Ill. : ‘A hoy 12years 
old will do more corn ill one day than 10 men the old way.” 
.IAS. A. PINE, Omaha. Neb.: “I cultivated my corn, 
and it worked like a charm.” 
15. FORD, Buda, Ill.: “ On my corn it did good work.” 
II. COMSTOCK, Liberty Mills, Ind.: “ My son. 12 years 
old, harrowed 100 acres in 5 days, wheat, oats, and coni.” 
s. CLARK, Cambridge, Ill.: “ It is excellent for coin."

PATENT 
HARD - STEEL PLOWS 
17union y in their shape the scien- 
JLi title adaptation of natural lines embraced by Knox’s 
Patent, and have extra qualities of hardness, each piece of 
metal being made by a process that converts about one 
third on each side into steel, and allows It to be hardened as 
much as fire and water can make it, while the center re¬ 
mains soft or flexible. This gives them a toughness that 
avoids the liability of breakage so general with other plows, 
and a surface better adapted to slide through the soil, which 
reduces the amount of power required, and further adds to 
durability. 
These Hard-Steel Plows received the highest premium, §‘iO, 
awarded to Plows at the Vermont State Agri¬ 
cultural Fair, September, 1871. 
Messrs. Sessions d• Knox were awarded the highest prize hij 
the Meio York State Agricultural Society, Oct.. 1871.
