The object of this invention is to provide 

 cultivators constructed in such a manner that 

 the plows can be readilj- adjusted to work at 

 any desired depth in the soil and to throw the 

 soil toward or from the plants. To the arched 

 axle are attached the forward ends of inclined 

 connecting-bars and curved supporting-bars, 

 therearends of which are attached to the ends 

 of an arched bar connected with the arched 

 axle by tbe handie,sof the cultivator, whereby 

 all the plows can be raised from the gronnd at 

 a time and tbe depth to which the plows enter 

 tbe ground will be limited. To the rear ends 

 of the inner beams are attached curved and 

 slotted bars, which are secured by bolts to the 

 inclined supporting.bars,so that the said inner 

 beams can be adjusted toward or from each 

 other, as will be hereiualtcr fully described.

 the arched asle B, with the end parts of which 

 the forward ends of the beams and braces H

 nected, and the arched bar P, connected with 

 tbe axle B by the inclined bars O, the curved 

 bars or runners S, and the handles 1?, as sot

 arched axle B, the plow-beams H, and the 

 plow-standards K, of the braces I, the clarap-

Considered generally, the improved imple- 

 ment consists of a double set of cultivator 

 shovels or plows attached to and drawn by a 

 single carriage which straddles tbe two rows 

 being cultivated. One of the sets of plows is 

 used in cultivating one of tbe rows and the 

 other of the sets in cultivating the other row. 

 The two sets are spaced a|)art to suit the dis- 

 tance between the rows,and are suitably joint- 

 ed to the carriage to enable the sets to be ad- 

 justed laterallv and to be raised and lowereil, 

 and each set is managed by a single handle, 

 enabling the entire implement to be managed
