The Principal Advantages op this Harrow are as Follows: — 1 It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. 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. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a !>->_' ready for shipment, or that can bo ui:.au to a blacksmith’s and sharpened, at half tho cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and springtooth movement of the Harrow it is impossible 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 t hain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, -leaving a smooth surface. 1132 jTORTH BRITISH AND MERCANTILE INSURANCE COMPANY. .
