At work on the farm Of the agricultural

which turns a furrOw eight inches wide
Professor Spillman ID much pleased with
the new invention, which does excellent
work on the ground, and il better than q

be thrown down hill in all places. The
disc plow is said to be = great success in
California, where il has been used for sew
eFal years. When the regents were in ses-
sion they were shown the pillow At work,
and were delighted with it.
