This Fork is presented to the public as the .sNe
Plus Ultra'' of Horse Forks 1t has been in Prac-
tical use for two years, and has met with a sue
cess unparalleled in the history OF agricultural
implements. More we're sold the past year than
of all others together, thus proving that Farmers
prefer it to any other. BY the experience of the
past two years we have improved it in several re-
specis, and confidently recommend it as the best
in market. 1t has decided advantages over 9TH
ers and only needs trial to convince the most
skeptical With the pullies furnished with the
Fork it can be rugged to deposit the hay 10 any
part of the NOW by simply pulling small cord.
1t is equally adapted Tor stacking. Inc handle
being short is out Of the way in going over or nm
der beams, through shed windows &c The
bale and brace being made of WROUGHT IRON,
and the tines Of STEEL and SICKLE SHAPED
it is very strong and durable, and will hold as
much as horse csn draw. The bale foloing to
the handle when the hay is discharged, it occu-
pies less room to work it than any other Many
other For ks have parts made of cast or malleable
iron, which is liable to break, making them ex-
tremely dangerous to use. The head of this Fork
is protected by our patent Strengthening bands,
through which the tines pass, making 1t lmpossi-
BILE to break Although very strong, it is small
and compact, and can be used BY boy. 1t will
take of load of hay ordinarily in three to SIX
minutes.
The Country Gnnteman Of Oct. %. 1862, says:
cit is decidedly the most perfect implement in
the line of Horse Hay Forks that has ever been
made, and we know it will never fail to give sat-
| istaction"
The New York Weekly Tribune Of May %.
1858, saws I'VE have witnessed its operation
and consider it q most valuable impif ment and
one that will tighten the strain on human muscle,
and economist labor at time when here Ia the
greatest demand for it."
The New England Farmer, the Springfield Re
| publican, the Atlas and Argus, and many OF our
leading papers, speak Of it in the highest terms.
/ We have received testimonials # I'm III usands Of
practical Farmers who have used it and say, ut
| exceeds our expectations. 1t is convenient TO
handle. Can be used by boy Viii save it,
cost in a single harvest, and often In single
