Ill a cultivator having ray improvement at- 

 tached, when in nse ou a bill-Bide, tbe spring 

 on the side of tbe cultivator on the upper side 

 of the hill is connected with t_he bracket-plate 

 antl adjusted in its connection therewith as 

 near as may be within tbe provisions of the 

 device to exert a sufficient force to hold tbe 

 shovel-beams in a position substantially par- 

 allel with tbe direction of its forward move- 

 ments, and in sach a manner as to enable tbe 

 operator without extra exertion to carry the 

 sbovel-beams to either side for the purpose ot 

 properly cultivatiog the plants, substantially 

 in tbe same mauuer as in tbe nse of tbe culti- 

 vator on level land without the employmentof 

 my improvement. Thesesprings are arranged 

 on both aides of the machiiiG in such a man- 

 ner that either can be used to adapt tbe ma- 

 chine for use in a ba^k-and-fortb movement 

 on tbe same hillside or in the same direction 

 on opposite hill-sides. In this instance I have 

 employed a spiral spring in one piece, having 

 a slipping or sliding connection on their 

 bracket-supports ou tbe main frame to permit 

 of a lateral movement of the shovel-beams be- 

 yond tbe capacity of the springs; but this same 

 result can bo obtained without tbe slipping 

 action of the spring by tbe employment of a 

 ceut rally-link-jointed two-part Spring, in which 

 instance its outer end may have a suitably 

 fixed link or hiiig'" connection with the main 

 frame. , 



From the foregoiug it will be seen that I 

 produce a spring-conneclion between the main 

 frame and the shovel beams of tbe cultivator, 

 by which I render it an ellicient machine for 

 tbe cultivation of crops on the bill-side.

 axle and elevated draft-tonguo constitute tbe 

 frame for supporting a pair of parallel plow oi 

 shovel carrying beams, tbe latter being com- 

 bined with devices for throwing the shovels

 to adapt themselves tn any irregularities 

 thereof.
