View of the movement of two furrow slices as turned by the "Michigan" or sod and 



subsoil plow. 



Kendall & Whitney's No. 3, Side-hill, and Nourse, Mason & Co.'s Side-hill, No. 83, 



resembled each other in general construction, and being tried on 

 slightly sloping sod, did poor work. 



Isaiah Fry, North Berwick, No. 4. 



This, the Foxcroft plows, and those of J. W. Hanson, were quite 

 similar in general appearance and form. It cut a slice 7^ bj 15 

 inches, and did good work — appeared to be well made. 



L. Whitjian, Winthrop, Nos. 21 and 22. 



The mold-board is medium, neither convex nor concave, the plows 

 are easy to hold, and did fair work ; but the cutting being perpen- 

 dicular, the grass was not perfectly covered. The point is some- 

 what faulty — in other respects the plows are very like those of T. 

 Yarney & Son, described below.
