Readers of the Farmer have noticed in
horse hoe aud cultivator. These implements
have generally given good satisfaction where
they have been fairly tried, and they seem
destined to stand among the most useful
helps to the farmer. The following extracts
are from letters that we have seen from
people who have tried the machines

MRssRs Ross Il Co.-Geuts As to my
experience with your hoe can say that
SO far as have used it in cultivating corn
and potatoes the only crops for which
have used it, | am confident that il has
saved at least one half of tho expense Of
cultivation and that the work has been done
10 better manner than could be done by
the ordinary method with pillow and hand

farmer and very valuable'Hs labor saving

ancc, crop prospects are as ilatterinG rs
could be desired; indeed, unless sumo un-
forcscen calamity should bciaIl the wheat
crop. it promises to be the most abundant
one for several y~carS-yet every CbScryant
farmer has seen some of the most Halter
ing prospects ruined in the short space of
TEL or twelve days. Indeed. such are the
uncertainties of this crop that not much
reliance can be placed in its success until
it is housed.
