 caused by collision with obstructions ; the forward ends of 

 the beams are attached to a slotted cross-bar which is stay- 

 ed by angle rods from the tongue, the draught rods having 

 a vertical play by the motion of the clevis pin in an upright 

 slot in the tongue. The lateral adjustment of the plough 

 beams is by means of slots in the cross-beams, to which the 

 former are clamped by set screws. 



Claim.— I. — The arrangement in a cultivator of the brace 

 rods // //, and slay rod /■, in such manner that the longitudi- 

 nal strain upon the implement shall be thrown upon the 

 side beams li B, and front beam C, wdien the implement is 

 unobstructed by stones, &c., but when the implement is 

 obstructed by stones, &c., the sudden jar due upon the 

 tongue A shall be relieved by the oblong slot c, and finally 

 be sustained by the stay rod i, all substantially in the man-
