a little below tile the general level levei of tile nied nned fied we have found it effective as a of tile the surface ind and it can be used to kill weeds and stir the ground around the young crop chopi yet not materiale mater ialy tear or uproot them and for this peculiar service it surpasses any other tool with which chwe we are acquainted jn po catoe culture it is really excellent and saves half the usual expense it prepares an admirable seedbed seed bed for young 0 plants it is a very effective leveler and and in seeding in down land for meadows it leaves it more abre level uniform and smooth than any tool ili in general use in short we confidently recommend the thomas harrow as simple rational effective and satisfactory is to the tiller of the soil thin slanting teeth that never
