Of Steel Plowa Into
This Country.

Perhaps some III aut older 1881
ieAta will remember when The
rolling lands II MakaWaa were
covered with beautiful fields II
waving grain. aud the non mill
where this wheat was ground. was
Hitaated 0n King street, OH The site
now occupied by the eastern end Of
our store, now tlled with ship
ohandlery. Well. Ia those early
days Of the sixties, the only ploWs
used on these Islands for cnltiFn-
ton Of grain OF cane were the old
fashioned cast iron Eagle pl0ws,
No, : aud No, 90 A little later
the cast iron Paris pillow OF breaker
was introduced into the cane fields
and did good service for some
yearn, one day "a farmer came
into our store and inquired for II
atee plow, aomething that bad
never been known IN this country.
llo had used them in the Western
States, and said he knew they
would do much better work in our
soil than the rough iron plows used
here. We Immediately ordered two
Moline Stool Plows which were
soon put TO use and did fair
work. but were found too light for
our heavy soil. We then made
patterns for some heavier and
larger steel plows which were made
by the Moline Plow Co. These
were great Improvement on the
first, but many improvements have
been made since about the year
seventy, when these first steel
plows were introduced. And now
for number OF years, we have had
the celebrated Hall Steel Flows
and Breakers, cutting from four
inches to sixteen inches. 1t is inn
possible to make any one pillow that
will be equally we'll adapted to all
the variety of soil and climates on
these Islands, but HUNDREDS of our
Flows and Breakers are in use on
all parts of these Islands and have
given universal satisfaction, reduc-
ing in many instances the cost of
the cultivation of cane where form
erly the Paris Piows were used.
