no obstacle; in fact it is m stony and
hard land that its advantages are most
apparent, the principle upon which the
pillow is hung being calculated to force
it into the ground, however hard. The
Plow is handled by the driver from his
seat by asimple system of levers enabl-
ing him to control its operation with
absolute certainty.
The vibrating frame to which is at
tached the pillow is pivoted to the axle,
and is SO arranged as to be frictionless.
The axle itself is adjustable, and can be
raised, lowered or tipped in either direc-
ton at viii, throwing the pillow on the
| mouldboard or Landslide, precisely as is
| done by hand, enabling the driver to
| regulate the depth and width Of the
furrow almost instantly. This is the
only machine which permits these nc
tions, and without these no plow
sulky can succeed in doing anything
like good work.
OF course. as it Is a new departure
from the old established order of things,
where men worked from daylight until
dark, killing their horses and wearing
themselves out while yet in their prime,
It has met many objections from this
class of self-killers, who neither pity
themselves or their teams, many calling
1t ga lazy mans plow," etc., ETC. This
criticism is too ludicrous to deserve Sc
rious consideration. The Threshipg
Machine, Reaper, Mower, and Drill al
save labor and time, and are, like the
4 Osborn Plow Sulky, labor saying ma.
chimes.
| This machine is not new and un-
tried machine, having been manufac
tured for the last eight years, as thu
flattering testimonials published will
prove.
The Belfast (Me.) Journal, speaking
of this pillow, says: "The recent in
ventions in agricultural implements ar
taking the poetry all out of the occu
patton of farming. Here is Fred, At
wood advertising the Osborn Ple1
Sulky, by which the agriculturist sit
comfortably on a cushion, and turns u
the soil as though he was on a pleasar
! drive. Poor Richard said that
! "He who by the pillow would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive,
, But here is an invention by aid of whic
? q man may double his thrift by doin
both-which shows how far we are i
advance. of Ben Franklin's time. n
more does the plowman, like the one
: Gray's Elegy, 'homeward plod h
weary way"-but at supper time in
gets on and rides to his evening repast
We would speak also of the Flaw
Mower" and the Meadow King Rake.
The former is one of the cheapes
simplest, and easiest moving machine
in the market, and is first cla
machine in construction, finish and op
peration. Is very simple, having bl
three moving parts. Gearing at OF
. end, and handle so adjusted as to pr
vent all side draft. Will cut oyer rong
and uneven ground, hillside and bord,
to perfection. 1t will work on ne
lawns where it would be almost impo
sible to use some mowers. 1t will CT
everywhere.
THE MEADOW KING RAKE"
This rake is very simple in its plal
and durable in all its parts. It has +
ratches, springs, or friction devices fl
