FALL PLOWING. 
The advantages of fall plowing are great,—the soil is im¬ 
proved, crops increased, and deeper plowing can be prac¬ 
tised than in the spring. 
These plows won Four Gold Medals at the NATIONAL 
TRIAL at UTICA, N. Y., in 185 V. They do a quality of work 
which no skill in spading can equal. Six sizes are made. 
Four of the large sizes are arranged for two mould boards 
—one for sod and one for stubble plowing. A skim or for¬ 
ward plow can also be attached to either of these large sizes 
for “Michigan,” or sod and sub-soil plowing. 
These plows turn a deep .flat furrow on level land, leave 
no dead furrows nor ridges, pulverize the soil very thor¬ 
oughly, will not clog, and are designed for both level and 
side-hill plowing. 
There are eight sizes, from a light one-horse, to a heavy 
plow for 4 oxen, furnished with either wood or iron beams, 
and manufactured by 
F. F. HOLBROOK & SMALL,
