This PI ow is presented to the public in view of benefitting farming. No one after trying it can cny it is merely n scheme.for making money, hut one of great usefulness: therefore Ho not hesitate to re commend it to f anners as one of the bent nnd cheapest subsoilcrs ever in use. Any one disposed to 'doubt it, can try it and BiMsfy themselves. The best of fanners that have seen it iu operation can testify to the above. It will turn 4 inches of top noil and loosen (i fnches of the subsoil with less power than you can turn 8 inches in 'the old vyny, and w ill suit both .land and crop- better. . It prevents Ihe land from baking, and mixes less of the top soil with the subsoil. ! Any man that underHtunds fumiing cm soon discern its merits. It will plow the grass and weeds away from the crop aud throw the clean dirt back to it at the same time, which you will readily perceive saves labor, and that is one great object. It can be used to great advantage in plowiug wet land. For seeding small grain it will cover the seed from two to four inches and loosen the soil four or five inches below the seed. As for preparing land for Clover and Grasses, it has no equal. A cotton or corn planter may be readily attached, as also a fer tiiizerjjistributor. I propose selling County or Slate Rights for the use of this Subsoiler on reasonable terms. Any one wishing to test the Plow before the Right Is procured can apply to me. The Plow can be seen at Cook i Ellyson'a Agricul tural Works in Charlotte, and at Ilarrbhurg Depot and Concord, N. 0. FLAM M. QUr.KY, Ilarribburg Depot. Cabarrus county, N.
