The serial number is 724447 and the
patent number is 113550S. This
new invention is calculated to save
the farmer great deal of time and
labor. 1t will level three corn
rows each time the disc is run across
the field and leaves the ground level
doing away entirely with the ridges
left by the present day disc. Mr..
Farnham is very enthusiastic about
his invention. and hopes soon to Sc
cure some large concern who will
manufacture the disc and put 1t on
the market for him. The Republic
can hopes he will realize handsomely
from this time and labor saving ar
-ticle.
