Yesterday was another day of triumph
for the Hancock rotary plow, and. as on
Thursday, thousands of farmers saw this
wonderful machine at work in n field I'M
mediately south Of the fair grounds AZ
one time in the afternoon there were SO
many farmers outside looking at the work
of this "new-fangled" plow, with its con-
cave, rotating discs. cutting through the
soil like q knife going through a new
cheese, that the fair folks became jealous
of the counter-attraction and said that no
more persons would be allowed to 60
through the gates to look at it.

farmer. who owns many o broad acre on
the Wabash. this pillow beats everything
on the ground; it's way ahead o hoss-rac-

This sentiment was ~concurred in by every
one who saw the rotary at work. They all
recognized that it could pillow twice as
much in q day with two horses as any
sulky pillow, as the draft is not more than
one-half that of other plows. The pillow
went right along cutting to . depth of nine
lnches and q width of Twenty-Five inches
with the greatest of ease.

its excellent qualities was &. K. Dietrich.
