This invention consists essentially in tbe 

 combination, with a series or number of spades, 

 forks, tines, or digging instruments, of a bar 

 or fra?oe carrying the same, stationary guides 

 -for said' bar or frame, and mechanism, which 

 may consist of a crank-shaft and suitable con- 

 'uectiojis, for reciprocating said bar or frame 

 and its spades, forks, or tines upward and 

 downward to force the latter into the earth, 

 and for oscillating or racking the barer frame 

 or the spades, forks, or tines, at or near the 

 termination, of their descent only, to throw up 

 the earth by the said spades, forks, or tines 

 with a quick movement, as more fully herein- 

 after described.

 causing the spades, tines, or implements to en- 

 ter the gronnd in straight linea, and meansfor

 plements upward and outward quickly as 

 said bar or fiamo approaches the end of its 

 downward movement, substantially as and for 

 the purpose specified- 



2. The combination, with the bar or^rame 

 and its attached spades, tines, or implements, 

 of mechanism for reciprocating said bar up 

 ward and downward, and guides for said Itai 

 atljustablc to dtlVcrent inclinations, substan- 

 tially as and for the pnrposo specified. 



.1. Tbe combination, with the bar or frame 

 and its attached spades, tines, or implements, 

 of the crank -.shaft and rod for reciprocating 

 said bar, and guides for said barer frame, pro- 

 vided at their upper ends with eyes, whereby 

 they aresuspcndcd concentrically toaaid crank-

My invention consists in an improved con-^ 

 struuttoa and arrangement of machinery for 

 plowing or digging or breaking up the earth 

 I^rior to its undergoing tbe subsequent opera- 

 tions of turning over, sowing, and harrowing 

 when tbe land is to be tilled, and prior to its 

 being lifted and removed when the object is 

 simply that of excavation, as in the forming 

 of dams, &c. In the former case I add the 

 contrivances for turningover, sowing, and bar- 

 rowing to those for plowing,digging, or brfeak- 

 iiig up, so as to enable one machine to perform 

 all these operations at one and the same time, 

 but in duo succession so far as tbe order of 

 their procedure is concerned, and in the latter 

 case I may add or omit the elevators for lift- 

 ing the brokeu-up earth into a vebir.laorcou-
