The Best Corn CuItiyator Made.

In sgain calling the attention of the public to this
Cultivator, We would say that we built over one hun
dred ofthem the past season, which were sold and used
through inanys sections of Wisconsin, and We have yet TO
learn of the first one that failed to give satisfaction.
While the main features of the Hawkeye Cultivator
remain the same, we have adopted such minor improve
ments as experience snggested-nsing 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 others do not possess:
LIST. All the shoyels being moved sideways by the feet,
lDe gTouad between the rows Is an cuitlsated, leaving
no balks, as Is the case where only the two forward shov-
els move. The side motion is on the pendulum princi-
pie, the shoyels being suspended and their depth graded
by Il chain. Being free from from friction II Is the east
est, and any boy who can manage a team can work IL.
I'd. The easy manner of throwing all the plows out of
the ground, by placing the feet upon the treadles conye-
niently arranged, thus cleaning the. shovels OF trash,
and for turning at the ends, leaving the hands free to
guide the team.
Sd. The arrangement of handles in ratched work, so
that the p~lowman can with case change the depth of
either or both sets of plows aohile in motion,
4th. Easy adjustment Of shoyels to a greater or less
width
9th. The front shovels 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 fiat coulter bar fas-
tened with a wooden pin, which breaks when the shovel
strikes air obstruction, allowing it to turn back without
injury to the Cultiyator.
18th. The ease with which either pair Of side shoyels are
lowered when running in II dead furrow, or on Il side
hill, thus enabling you to cultivate il the same as If it
were level-the Shovels conforming at all times to une-
ven surfaces. A great advantage over other cultivators.
9Th. The side beams being piyoted TO the main beam,
the back shovels can be set to run deep and the forward
ones shallow, when the corn Is small.
9Th. The back shoyels are of such a distance from the
forward ones as to render them less liable to choke than
any other cultivator.
10th. Tie seat can be moved forward or back, accord
ing to the weight of driver, to avoid all downward pres
sure upon the necks of the horses.
18th. This Cultivator has a great advantage over 9TH
r sin the height of axle.
IL. We claim for this implement the utmost simplicity
oil structure, ease OF management, lightness OF draft,
strength and durability
The Hawkeye Cultiyator has taken the lead wherever
1t has been introduced. IT took the
lSt Premium at Wisconsin Stdte Far,
over all others, and also at the
Grant County Far,
last fall Farmers who wish to secure our Cultivator
will consult their own interest by ordering early, as all
made by us last year were sold before the season for
Hawkeye were disappointed by not ordering timely.
Shop price, including selt-adjusting sheetiron shields
and double-trees, S65 90 Terms, $500 to accompany
order, balance on delivery.
We have testimonials from inoarly every man who
bought our Cultivator last spring, all speaking in the
highest terms in its favor. We have only room for
one:
Messrs. TRAINER & Co.:
Dvas siIs -I~es asrine I rurchaaed one of your
" Hawkeyc" Cultivators, patented by w. Furnas,, and
consider it superior 10 any cnltivator l have ever seen.
The facility with which the depth of the Flows is altered
while in motion, the ability 10 lower the side Flows
which happen to run in a dead furrow, the acooden pin
arrangement in the coulter bar which breaks when the
shovel strikes an obstruction, thus saving any important
part OF the machine from injury, and the facility with
which all the piowS are thrown ont of the ground are
points in which your cultiyator excels any other. The
plows having a very easy side motion. YOU can cultivate
all the grounu. dolng their work TO nay satisfaction.
Very truly yours, SIDNEY BRADLEY.
