The "PLANET ; Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the "Planet ; Combined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use throughout the civilized world. It is so strongly built as to with- stand incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle. The Frame is longer than usual, and about one and a half inches higher, making a tool that will not clog easily.
