Ods. — In continuing our remarks on field im- 

 plements, it may be well to observe that 

 many of them have been constructed to ac- 

 commodate stetches into which both heavy 

 and light land is frequently thrown. Such 

 is the case with Coleman's expanding harrow, 

 and other kinds of jointed harrows tried in 

 the field. We are not, it may be hoped, 

 going beyond the bounds of our jurisdiction, 

 when we state the probability of stetches 

 disappearing before improved implements 

 and improved husbandry. Hence, it may not 

 be necessary to make provision for this kind 

 of land by manufacturing implements ex- 

 pressly for the purpose. — The word cultivator 

 implies a general field implement, and may 

 be divided into classes for surface and deeper 

 cultivation. 



This implement was exhibited in several 

 classes, and performed well in each. The 

 test was most severe both on light and heavy 

 land, and it sustained its reputation as a 

 general-purpose cultivator, while the price is 

 very moderate. 



This useful implement was placed in compe- 

 tition with the above (Stand 78, Art. 10), 

 and fully deserves being placed in the same 

 rank. It is easily taken out of the gi'ound 

 while turning, and in this respect may be 

 considered superior to its rival, and it also 

 breaks and more fully pulverises the soil, 

 while it is larger and more expensive. 



A very good implement, and worked steadily 

 and well through the clods. It is on a 

 larger scale than others ; the workmanship, 

 and the general arrangement in the details, 

 of a superior class. 



For its useful adaptation to heavy land as a 

 drag and paring implement. The wheels 

 are well arraug(;d, and the iron lever greatly 

 facilitates its turning at the head-lands and 

 in travelling. 



The Duoic drag, an implement of great power, 

 and steadiness in working heavy land. The 

 arrangement for raising and lowering it is 

 very simple, whether for travel or for ad- 

 justing tlie different working depths as a 

 stubble-parer.

This ini])lenient worked well under all the 

 difficulties of a dry and parched surface, not 

 only as a d^-cp cultivator, but as a scarifier. 

 1 1 IS inexpensive, and a very useful imple- 

 ment, moving and pulverizing the soil.
