My improvements relate, first, toanovol har- 

 row and elod-pnlverizer, consist ine of aiiuinber 

 of segmental i»l;ites binged toand foriuingtlie 

 surface and periphery of a cylindrical fniTnc 

 or roller, to wliicli a revolving motion i-s im- 

 parted by suitable mechanism as it is drawn 

 along' over the .'surface of the ground. These 

 plates are altaclied at one side or edge to the 

 surface of the fi-amo or roller by hinge joints 

 in such niauuerthat by the revolving motion 

 of the roller thoy are alternately thrown out 

 radially from its periphery into a position to 

 drop agair.st and be drawn over the soil be- 

 neath them as the machine progresses, and 

 are thou folded or brought back into place and 

 position on the roller. By this constnictioii 

 ;iad mode of opeiution the harrow has both a 

 broakingand pnlvcrizingaction and aharrow- 

 ing and leveling oi)ei-ation as it is drawn over 

 the ground. 



The second part of my inveution consists in 

 the combination, witit the revolving hari-ow 

 audclod-pulverizfr, of novel moans forgiving 

 to it the rcrinired movement of revolution dur- 

 ing the progressive movement over 1 he ground, 

 by which also the harrow can be thrown into 

 and out of aclion at any time during work. 



Another part of my improvement relates to 

 a novel frame and running-gear for support- 

 ing and Ciirrying the revolving liurrow in po- 

 sition for work, and also for receiving and 

 holding in working relation to the liarrow a 

 seed, grain, fertilizer, or manure hojjper and 

 broadcast distributing device, by means of 

 which, when de-sired, tiieoper.itions of sowing 

 or distributing such matter and of covering 

 it up or harroM'ing it into the soil can bo per- 

 formed simultaneously by and during the one 

 forward movemcut or progression of the ma- 

 cliine. By means of this part of my improve 

 meut (he harrow can be employed in operat- 

 ing upon the soil to bring it into proper con- 

 dition for sowing, and then, by placing within 

 the frame in front of the harrow ase^d sowing 

 anddistributiug device, the same machine can 

 be used successfully and to great advantage 

 in sowing andeoveriugseeds andinother and 

 similar operations.

 izer, the cylindncal frame having a surface 

 composed of curved toothed plates orsegmcnts

 swing out from said cylinder during certain 

 portions of its revolutions, the cylinder being 

 ari'anged to revolve backward during the pro- 

 gress of the machine, substantially asset forth.

 surface of the fiame mIicu dosed, and mech- 

 anism for imparting to the said frame arotary 

 molioii in a backward direction during its 

 travel or progression over the surface of the 



grounil, substantially ;\s hereinbefore set fori li.~
