I I r y I i ‘ ■ I IHHHHHIIHHHHHHHHIi i 1 The above cut gives a very good idea of the sort of furrow the U SPALDING DEEP TILLING MACHINE makes. The front disk ■ cuts the top of the soil, dispositing it and any weeds, sods, stalks, manure or other matter in the bottom of the furrow. The rear Lj disk cuts the lower, or sub-soil, and stirs it thoroughly with the top soil, pulverizing it at the same operation. The cut shows the machine in loose soil where two horses can draw it, but it will require four horses in Adams County. One of these machines is in operation on the Smith-Wilson farm one mile north of Decatur, preparing forty acres for beets. Here you can see for yourselves just how the work is done, and we should like very much to have you visit this farm as soon as possible.
