The Best Corn CuItivator Made.

In again calling the attention Of the public to this
G lltiyator, we would say that we built over one hun
d. ed ofthem the past season, which were sold and used
through inany sections Of Wisconsin, and we have yet to
leun of the first one that failed to give satisfaction.
While the main features Of the llawkeye CuluyatOr
remain the same, we have adopted such minor improve
ments as experience suggested-using only the best
material, and putting them up IA The most snbSt9atial
manner.
Besides all the advantages Of other cultivators, we
claim the following, some OF which othersd 90 not possess;
LIST. All the slovels being moved sideways by the feet,
the ground between the rows is all cultivated, leaving
no balks, as is the case where only the two forward shoy-
els move. The side motion il Ou the pendulum princi-
pie, the shoyels being suspended and their depth graded
by a chain. Being free from from friction it is the easi-
est, apd any boy who can manage q team can work IT.
"a. The easy manner Of throwing all the plows out Of
the ground, by placing the feet upon the treadles conve-
niently arranged, TINS cleaning the shoveis Of trash,
and for turning at the ends, leaving the hands free to
guide the team.
81. The arrangement of handles in ratohed work, SO
that the plowman can with ease change the depth of
either or both sets of plows tohfte IN motion.
4th. Easy adjustment Of shoFels 10 a greater or less
width
5th. 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 iointed standard. with a fiat coulter bar fas-
tened with a wooden pin, which breaks when the shovel
strikes az obstruction, allowing it 10 tucn bach without
injury to the Cultiyator. .
It'll. The ease with which either pairof side shoyels are
lowered when running in 9 dead turrow, Or On q side
hill thus enabling you to cultivate il the same as il it
were level~-the Shovels conforming at ali times to une-
ven surfaces. A great advantage over other cultiyators.
Sth. The side beams being piyoted TO the main beam,
the back shOyels can De set to run deep and the forward
ones shallow, when the corn is small.
9Th. The back sloyt!s are of such a distance from the
forward ones as 10 render them les- liable 70 choke than
any other cultivator.
10th. Tie sect can be moved forward or back, accord
ing to the weight Of drieer, to avoid ali downward pres
sure upon the necks % the horses.
nth. This Cultiyator has a great advantage over 9TH
r sin the height of axle.
u. We c aim for this implement the utmost simplicity
of structure, ease Of management, ~lightness Of draft,
strength and durability.
The Hawkeye CultiYator has taken the lead wherever
it has been introduced. ii took the
lSt Premium at Wisconsin State Far,
over all Others, and also at the
Grant Couhty Fair,
last fall Farmers who wish to secure onr Cultivator
made by US last year were sold before the season for
using, and many farmers who intended to have the
IIawkeye were disappointed By not ordering timely
Shop price, including selt-adjusting sheetIron shields
and double-trees, $6j 20 Terms, $500 to accompany
order, balance on delivery.
We have testimonials from noarly every NO. Who
bought our Cultvator last spring, all speaking in the
highest 'vf"' 'A - favor. We have only room for
one:
Messrs. Trainer & Co.:
Dear SAs Last spring 7 purchased one Of your
"Hawkeyc" Cultiyators, patented by W Furnas, and
consider it superior to any cnltivatoI l have ever seen.
The facility with which the depth Of the Plowsis altered
while IN motion, the ability to lower the side plows
which happen to run in "A dead furruw. the lUoo9en pn
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 pioNs are thrown ont of the ground are
points in which your cultivator excels any other, The
plows having a very easy side motion. YOU can cultivate
all the ground, doing their work to my satisfaction.
Very truly yours, SIDNEY BRADLEY.
