We have no hesitancy in recommending any implements made by the Deere factory. In quality of material, construction, and:results obtained from actual operation, they represent the highest degree^ excellence iri? farming implements. DEERE PLANTER We present to the farmers this week the Deere combination planter and fertilizer distributor. It can be used to plant any crop .from - mus tard seed to cornfield beans. The distance apart and the quantity of seed dropped can be quickly regulated. If the s>?d are sound, a" farmer who uses a Deere pl?nter can have a definite idea as to* the stand of the crop when the seed are put in the ground. Nothing superior'on tho market. Another strong "feature is that the quantity of fertilizer can not only be regulated, but it is mixed with the soil by the distributor, in stead of being in a, stream, which might prevent gemination ehould tifie ?eed fall directly upon the guano. Deere Diverse Cultivator Another Implement which we strongly recommend is the Diverse Cul* ivator which is easily adjusted to any width TOWS. Where rows are ir-' egular in w: Jth this cultivator can be adjusted without stopping the *-ara. The centre tooth can also be removed if desired. The Diverse Cultivator is a labor ?aving implement that every farmer in Edgefield. \_ iounty should own. It is not only labor saving but does the work in a lighly satisfactory manner. We-study the farmers needs and carry an .ssortment of the most improved implements to meet their needs. Call to dee us-if we haven't what you want, will order it for you. STEWART S KERNAGHAN.
