There are more questions asked about, and more difference in theharrows used, than in most other tools. In my belief two kindsare indispensable.

My experience would indicate thatthe u Corbin harrow so called, gives the best results for the far as I know it has given entire satisfaction. 426 VERMONT AGRICULTURAL REPORT. PLANTERS.
