Hallock’s Success Anti-Clog Weeder. . ■<* :c - There is an unfailing rule of human nature that, the older a man gets, and the longer he does certain things one way year after year, the harder it is for him to believe and accept new ideas, and to admit to himself that they are better than the ones he has been practicing for perhaps ten, twenty, thirty or forty years. And every man gets that way, sooner or later, but sbme worse than others. Now, we expect that the -ideas presented in this add regarding surface cultivation will “rub the fur the wrong way” on all those farmers who have become “sot' in their ideas regarding the best way to keep their growing crops free" of weeds and how to cultivate the same. We don’t want’ to sell you something you don't want or believe in. Furthermore, you have a perfect right to cultivate your crops as you think best for yourself and your pocketbook, and to think or not to think for yourself—just as you please. We want you to read this add, and after you have read it you can follow your own sweet will for or against suiface cultivation, just as you wishWe give you the plain, unvarnished, trustworthy facts in the case (every word of which we belive), and if you can’t see the good of surface cultivation and why Hallock's “Success* Anti-Clog Weeder and Cultivator is the best of all weeders, that’s your own affair, not ours. We do our part—but you have to work out your own salvation. - » Does this letter mean anything? The ioi Live Stock Co. Farming and Stock Raising. Bliss. Okla.. Oct. 15, 1901. Janesville, Machine Co., Janesville, Wis: Dear Sirs:—We take pleasure in saying that we have used a large number of the Hallock “Success” Anti-Clog Weeder and Cultivator and that we are well pleased with them. We use them early in I’ie spring on our wheat, and are convinced the yield can be increased I i3to 5 bushels per acre by going over the ground 2or 3 times, v ■ '-an be done at a very small expense. ;o use them in cultivating both our listed and checked corn, in conn. < t : on with both the disc and shovel cultivator, where they do splendid w -rk. They are a great tool fox killing the small weeds and pulverizo.g the ground, thereby preserving the moisture. Corn in this locality that was cultivated with the ordinary cultivator, was almost a total failure. We used the Hallock Weeder on 1,400 acres of our corn ground and the yield will be from 25 to 40 bushels per aqre this season. '■ . No farmer who raises corn or wheat can afford to farm without them. You may refer any of your prospective customers to us, and we will be pleased to tell them how we use the weeder and the results we have obtained from their use. ./ Will say we used the weeder on the wheat we sold for see<) this year and the wheat so cultivated graded No. 1 and tested 63| pounds to the bushel. Yours truly, (Signed) The 101 Live Stock Co. By J. C. Miller, Supt. For sale in Rensselaer, by F. W. Bedford.
