The Diagonal Road and Far
 z c R fl P E R

V s confidently recommended as the very best im- II plement of the kind ever introduced for work ing roads, digging cellars, banking and grading around buildings covering underdrains, scraping up the loose manure in and around the barnyard, spreading it very evenly the meadows where it has been dropped, scraping the snowdrifts from sheds, yards &c also into out of the path, lay ing up wet land into beds for the purpose of drain ing, and indeed for any and every kind of work where any scraper can be used
 It is light, simple in its construction, very dura- ble csSy to handle working faster and leaving its work in better shape than any other scraper known.
 Let those who have used it tell what they think of it.
 H. Tucker, of Rockville, Ct, says-I can put a piece of road in good shape without any hoe at al and about as fast again as with common scraper- and yet it is worth more on a farm than on road. in smoothing land for stocking. I stocked 6 or acres last faH After it was plowed, instead of har rowing as usual hitched to the scraper diagonal ly and went it, the same way that plowed in half tbe time it would take to harrow it, and it filled up all the holows scraped off all the hillocks, and left it in the best shape for sowing that Any farmer would not be without one, if he should one six months.
 A. D. Waters. of Hartford, says-With yoke of oxen and boy to drive, can make and finish tscice much road as with the common scraper, and do it easier for myself and team.
 Wm S. Pond, of Milford, says-It is worth all the old scrapers that can be made.
 Similar opinions from those who have used them might be multiplied to almost any extent But all we ask, is to give them trial
