Tho present invention relates to that class 

 of cultivators whicii are composed Of a pair of 

 parallel beams connecteil together by screw- 

 rods or other devices for permitting said 

 beams to be brought closer together or sepa- 

 rated from each othei-, as may he desired. 



Tho invention consists in a cultivator com- 

 prising a pair of i)arallel beunis of unequal 

 length which are adjustably connected to each 

 other hy means of screw-bolts and nuts, and 

 arc each provided with an ordinary clevis, 

 through which is passed a split or lap ring for 

 connecting tho same. Shovel (u ploM- stiind- 

 ards attached to the leav ends of the beams 

 are connected at their npperends with handle- 

 rounds or eonnectiug-bars which are provided 

 with .slots for reeoiviug scr<!w bolts passed 

 tbrnngh saitt standards, so ax to |)ernnt the 

 beams and stainlards to be adjusted laterally 

 by turning the nuts of the connecting screv/- 

 rods.

 toeither sideof the beam and standard, so that 

 one of the bent iron rods or bars can be taken 

 oft' of its side of the beam and standard and 

 transferred to the rear end and secured to the 

 attachment, aud thus made to run in the reai

 are adapted for plowing on one side only o* 

 the row of growing i)lants; aud, also,. In a 

 block whicIi is secured to an endwise moving 

 rod which is screw- threaded at both of ita 

 ends, one of the ends being passed through 

 the beam and the other through the lower end 

 of the standard, whereby the block can bead- 

 justed back and. forth, carrying with it, the 

 two feet, so as to cause them to run shallow oi 

 deep, as may be desired.
