The Best Corn CuItivator Made.

In again calling the attention Of the public 10 this
Cultivator, we wonld say that we built over one hun
dred ofthem the past season, which were sold and used
through many sections of Wisconsin, and We have yet 10
learn of the first one that failed TO give satisfaction.
While the main teT lures of the liawkeye Cnltivator
remain the same, we have adopted such minor improve
ments is experience suggested-using only the best
material, and putting them up in the most substantial
manner.
Besides all the advantages of other Cultivators. we
claim the following, some OF which otllersd do not possess:
LIST. All the shoyels being moved sideways by the feet,
The ground between the rows is all cultivated, l. ewing
no balks, us is the ease where only the twOforward shov-
els move. The side motion IL on the. pendulum princi-
pie, the shoyels being suspended and their depth graded
by q chain. Being free from from friction II is the east
est. and any boy who can manage a team can work il.
ID. The easy manner of throwing all the plows out Of
the gtound, by placing the feet upon The treadlGs conge-
niently arranged, thus cleaning the shovcls of trash,
guide the team.

that the plowmen can with ease change the depth Of
either or both sets of plows mhde ia motion

width
9Th. The front shoyeis are turned Of mould board
shape, and can be reversed for killing, and being on pa
tent movable blocks can be turned to throw the soil
either to or from the corn as desired
9th. The Jointed standard. with a Hat coulter bar fas-
tened with a wooden pin, which breats when the shovel
strikes a1 obs truction, allowing it to turn back without
injury to the Cultivator.
18th. The ease with which either pair Of side shovels are
lowered when running in a dead turrow, or on a side
hull thus enabling you to cultivate ii the same as If it
were level-the Shoyels conforming at all times to une-
ven surfaces. A great advantage over other cultiyators.
sth. The side beams being pivoted to the main beam,
the back shoyels can be set to run deep and the forward
ones shallow, when tn corn is small.
9th. The back shovel Is are Of such a distance from the
forward ones as to reIler them less liable to choke than
any other cultivator.
