and covers the seed at a uniform depth, pro-
ducing more and better grain than any similar
implement made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines. AS a cultivatOr
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation. BY removing the center cul-
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the best
independent cultvstor male. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
