It is 26 per cent. Cheaper than any other. ' 1 Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, Which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. , A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. i It is the only Harrow in the world that csn be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. •It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and wall in barrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf, -Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roots or rocks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. 1132 BRITISH AND MERCIAN- X TIXB INSURANCE COMPANY, Established 1809.
