Why Do Farmers Prefer the Spring
Tooth Harrow 2

It will a'one do tho work of Cultvator, Harrow

tooth.
Its csclating hinges adjusts 1t readily to uneven
ground, while the frame works close to the sur
face that it not only prevents the sod from turning
up, but W. rks upon the plan of leveller. cutting
down the elevations and filing up the depressions
thus preparing smooth surface that obviates large
per cent. of wear and tear of Reapers and Mowers.
The teeth incline forward like those of Horse
rake, and when tooth strikes any solid substance It
springs back and upwards, thereby clearing the OBJ
stace and Immediately entering the ground again,
without interfering with the working of the other
teeth producing any percepble extra draft on the
team. 5ss
The teeth, being circular, keep constantly vibrat-
ing and sprnging, thus they seldom clog with grass
quency Of lifting by hand, common with other
harrows. is avoided hence, any boy capable of dfiv
ing team can use it.
BY the springng motion of the teeth, and their
reconcing power, We are enabled to stir double the
amount of soil with less power than can be accom-.
plshed with any other Harrow and Cultivator now
in use
The teeth seldom get dull in using. but if keener
edge is deemed necessary, they can he sharpened
with file, or be ground as quicy as the sections of
Moving machine, thus saving the expenses of lay
ing and sharpening that required by other Har-
rows and Cultivators.
It has steel in tooth than than there is in
harrow, and of better quality than is required for
the springs of five carriages, and yet they sold
for less money than frstcass Cultivators, and their
extra cost the Scotch Harrow is as nothing COM
pared 10 the extra benefits Of superior cultivation and
saving of time.
The ground prepared by this Harrow is brought to
higher state of culdvation, and consequently will
yield larger crop than when prepared by any other
implement for the reason It cuts the dirt from tn
bottom, pulverzes and shakes it up, leaving it in
looser and more porous condition than is the case
with other Harrows, and in 80 doing shakes out all
the grass, thistles and weeds Of every kind, and
leaves them the surface to die much quicker than
If partially covered, they always are when other
implements are used: The teeth can be adjusted at
the will of the operator, to pulverize the soil
to any depth from one to eight inches, and can be
moved from one place to another as easily
sled by turning it upside down. The teeth being
made from the best quality Of spring STEEL war
being made of the very best seasoned heart of oak,
will justify the claim Of their being by far the most
durable and better adapted to the wants of the
mer than any other agricultural implement in the
market The best cultivation develops tie best crops
and the largest profits. Thus verifying the old max
i'm, that one acre well cultivated is source Of more
profit than two half cultivated that invariably shows
balance on the wrong side of the ledger. 231
