/ PLOwS AND AGRICULTURAL TOOLS
| FOR THE SOUTH.
Editor Patron. | wish to say a
word to the Brothers throughout the
South in regard to improved farm
ing tools. 1t is true there are many
who know of them, but then there
are thousands who never saw or
heard of them. There are but few
farmers in the South who know
that there are tools now in use in
the Western States that would en-
able the laborer now in the field to
do double the work now done with
/ the tools now used. First there is
THE CORN STALK AND COTTON
STALK CUTTER.
This will enable a man with 2
horses to cut 10 acres of stalks each
day, SO they can be plowed in the
ground and will not inter fere with
the after cultivation. Next is the
THE THREE HORSE FLOWS,
Cutting ID, Is, 10 or IS inches.
These plows will do double the.
work a man can doswith a 2Sforse,
10 inch pillow and do the work
much better. | do about three acres
each day with an IS inch piow, and
can turn under weeds or grass six
feet high so as not to be in the way
of planting. There is no difficulty
in driving three horses abreast. If
farmer will break his land once
with three horse pillow, he will
never want to use two horse pillow
again. The work they do is so we'll
done and so much better in rough
ground, that good farmer will not
be satisfied to go back to one or
two horse pillow. Next we have the
TWO HORSE CORN PLANTER.
With this machine two men can
plant S or 10 acres Of corn per dav
and do it well; can drill it or check
row if wished. 1t requires but lit.
tie practice to learn to check row
as well as it can be done by hand.
1t is true that the land has to be
well narrowed before the corn
planter can be used to advantage,
but then that should be done any
way.
THE CULTIvATING CORN HARROW.
This is harrow with a bent tooth
shaped with chisel point, that can
be run over the young corn and |
will do IS acres per day with two |
horses, and do it as we'll as can be
done with any tool. The best I |
know of is called the Castor Tooth
Harrow made IN St. Louis. Then
next
THE WALKING CULTIvAToR.
consider this the best labor-saving
DOL | ever saw, for corn or cotton.
Eight acres per day is about the
lverage work that can be done with
t, and the work can be done as
we'll as with any pillow l have ever
cen used. In fair land, one man
With good team can cultivate 60
ores of corn, or he can do all the
blowing on 10 acres of cotton.
THE RIDING SULKY PLow.
here are many men in the South
Who have not the physical ability
0 walk all day after breaking
low that could do good work with
hree horses and riding plow cut
ng I8inches. | am aware man can
o as good work with a walking :
low as a. riding pillow, but 1 see no {
eason why a farmer should not 6
lake his work as light and pleasant
5 possible, and an old man can !
reak three acres per day and at I
lgnt feel we'll and not worn out
18th his days work.
Now, brother farmers. | ask Won
try these plows. l have tried |
lem and found them good and c
'eful, and | wonld not do without t
lem. =
BY the use of these, the laborors II
the country could do twice as a
UGH as they now do, and it will t
liable the South to raise all the Ii
'rn they can consume. I am sat a
he'd that their use for one wear c
i'll enable the farmer to paw for s.
EN- out of his increased crop. c
