The Acme Harrow.

1t gives us pleasure to call attention
of farmers to this valuable implement.
1t is the best harrow we have ever
seen to pulverize and thoroughly pre-
pare land for wheat or other crops
which require the soil well mixed and
thoroughly pulverized. Every farmer
should have one. 1t will almost pay
its cost in one season. They are very
durable, being made almost entirely Of
iron and spring steel. Price S25, One
of them is on exhibition at Mead &
Ritchey's produce store. Drop in and
see it when you come to town.
