The Coming Cultivator.
The Blbb Cotton Cultivator is now on ex.
hibition In Abveville for the first time.
This implement was patented lthis year by
Mr.. VIM. Bibb, q practical farmer In Oconee
county after several years trial on his farm.
This cultivator Is simply four-footed plow
designed TO cultivate both sides OF the
row at once. The horse walks on the left side
of the row and the plowman ON the right.
The claims made for the cultivator are that
each one saves the labor Of horse and hand
pulverizes the soil thoroughly: 1t can be used
in all stages OF the crop, having sweeps and
other attachments. 1t looks capable OF sus'
tanning the claims.
MIR. r. NJ. Ellison, state agent, is IN the city.
The cultivators sold this year in the upper
counties seem to have proven TO be the very
thing for the cotton farmer, who muss neceB
sarily take advantage OF rapid and cheap
cultivation.
