filled with Goods manufactured by Mr..

Petlengl's Patent Swivel Plow is the
best implement made by him, and is
probably TO day the best pillow ia this
State. The mould board is 10 three
pieces, hinged with strong ron bolts, so
furrow may be taken OF any desired
depth. This plow is self locking ia its
operation. and is the only successful
seli-locking swivel pillow in use -
During the past year Mr.. Merrill has ia
vented a new self adjustable clevis for
this plo~, which gives three draft lines
This is very ingenious device, and yet
so simple in its operation that ii cannot
get out OF order. The plow works and
turns so easily, that hos twelve Years
OF age has been known to handle one
with ease Every piece OF the plow is
cast separate and the pats are las
sembled.' thus break can be very
easily repaired. and that at a VERY light
expense. Mr.. Merrill keeps large stock
oil these parts constantly on hand. The
plow has been in the MAJ ket ONLY 4 few
years, but every year its weak points
have been stIeng thened AMI new features
have been introduced. Till il has reached
point 80 near perfection it seems i'm
possible 10 suIpass il. So conf lent is he !
OF It's excellence. Mr.. Merrill oilers TO
match il with any level land Plow in the
State.
Pettengill's Improved Horse Hoe and
Cuitivator Combined. another excellent
farm tool, is manufactured exclusively by

known throughout The State that We need
not dwell upon It's merits. MIR. Gilbert
