ALS FROM 39 STATES AND TERRITORIES.

The <b>"ACME"</b> subjects the soil to the action of a <b>Crusher</b> and <b>Leveler,</b> and at the same time to the <b>Cutting, Lifting, Turning</b> process of double rows of <b>STEEL COULTERS,</b> the peculiar shape and arrangement of which give <b>Immense cutting power.</b> The <b>entire absence of Spikes or Spring Teeth</b> avoids pulling up rubbish. It is <b>especially adapted</b> to inverted sod, hard clay, and "slough land," where other Harrows utterly fail, and it also works perfectly on light soil.
