 J. s. KINNEY, Washington. With yoke of oxen and a boy to drive l can scrape and finish up as much road in JGrc hours, as can with any other scraptr known to me in ten hours, besides doing it easier both for myself and team. A. D. WATERS, Hartford. In our opinion, roads can be made and repaired with with your scraper, at saving of at least ens third of the expense of doing it with the old kind. It is no harder for the holder, and far less worrying to the team.
