f ATE SPRING! CROWDED WORK! 
M-A This year a large amount of work must be done in a 
very short time. With our wide HARROW more than twice, 
as much ground can daily be prepared for seed as without 
it, and all crops UHEAPLY CULTIVATED through the 
season in a SUPERIOR manner. 
ALLEX IIIGLEY Windsor, Ohio, pays: “I saved half 
month’s labor in two days, getting a much better crop with¬ 
out using a hoe.” 
ANDREW RAESSLER, Shelby ville, Ill., saysI can har¬ 
row twice as much ground yith it as with other harrows.” 
EDWIN" THORNE, Millbrook, N. Y., says: “ Wc can dis¬ 
pense with cultivating once each Way, saving a vast amount 
of labor.” 
E. F. SMITH, Morning Sun, Iown, says: “It was much 
easier on the team, though one third wider, doing more 
work." 
L. R. AUSTIN, Coldwater, Mich., says: “I have a40 and 
a 30-tooth square drag; but with your liarrow can do twice 
the work in half the time.” 
IRA BEARD, Cahoka, Mo/: “I think it equal "to three 
common harrows.” 
F. PETITT, Salem, N. J.: “ My brother savs his does the 
work of three old harrows. Mine, I think, saved me $5 in 
Vb hours’ work.”
