This Tedder has been submitted to the severest test of field work in this country and Europe, 
and is admitted to be the only one yet offered to the public that will thoroughly spread long, heavy 
grass, taking it up from the bottom, tossing it gently into the air, and leaving it light upon the 
ground for the free access of sun and air. By its feature of construction found in no other tedder , 
its forks extend outside and in the rear of the wheels , thus the wheels are always inside and in front 
of the forks, and no hay that has been tedded is run over and matted down, as is the case with all 
other tedders where the wheels are outside the forks, since in passing back and forth one wheel 
must either lap over upon the tedded hay to get a full width or some of the hay be left without 
being tedded. 
By its movement the forks are inserted beneath the hay with a quick, plunging stroke that is 
almost the exact motion of a fork in the hands of a brisk and skillful man, tossing and shaking 
the hay thoroughly from the bottom. 
The forks can never be clogged, but instantly clear themselves in heavy grass—just where 
the work is most needed. This is impossible with other forms of tedders. By means of a lever 
the operator can raise or lower the forks to pass obstructions or adapt them to rough ground. 
The forks having spiral springs, meet obstructions without injury—the simplest and best fork 
attachment known. 
The Improved Bullard Tedder will spread four acres of heavy grass in an hour, accomplish¬ 
ing the work of six or eight men. It does its work so thoroughly that the hay may be taken to 
the barn in the best condition the very day it is cut, for its draft is so light, that without injury to | 
the horse, the tedder can be kept going constantly during the process of curing. It docs the 
work so quickly that the process of turning the hay can be several times repeated. 
The value of a tedder cannot be understood from a poor and inferior machine. The Bull¬ 
ard Tedder gives full effect to every hour of sunshine.

THE PLANET Jr. 
Horse Hoe, Plow, Cultivator and Coverer Combined. 
This is the most useful combination of one horse cultivating tools ever offered the farmers of 
this or any other country; it combines in one tool the qualities of the plow, the wheel hoe, the 
cultivator and corn coverer. When used as shown in the following cut, it is a perfect tool for 
cultivating and light plowing of all crops, and for hilling and ridging. When the frame is shut up 
close, it will open a furrow like a plow. The front two teeth and the rear one can be changed in 
pitch for deep or shallow work or for light and heavy land. The side hoes or plows can be quickly 
changed to any angle to throw much or little soil to or from the row. 
When throwing a furrow toward the row it will finish at one passage one side of each of two 
rows, when from 2 feet to 3^ feet apart. 
By reversing the rear teeth it is ready for hoeing; the side teeth shaving off close to the plants 
and the rear ones returning the earth for use in finishing up with .a hand hoe. In this form it runs 
very steadily, and can be used to shave very close to the smallest plants, without danger to them. 
The curved front edge of the hoe slanting backward cleans the surface without working deep till at 
a safe distance from the row.
