HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould board 

 has tieen so. formed as to lay the furrow completely over, 

 turiiing in every particle of grass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has been very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works willi the greatest ease, boih with respect lo 

 the holding and the learn. The Committee al the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer lor use on a iarm, we might perhaps say to 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy lo work, 

 try Prouty & Mear*, but if your land is heavy, hard or rocky, 



BEGIN WITH Mk. HoWAHD's." 



At the above mentioned trial the Hpward Plough done 

 more vork, with the least power of tetim, of any plough ex- 

 hibited — no Plough doing over Iwentyseven and one half 

 inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the //oujord Plough 

 done twcntynine and one half in<;hes, to the same potrer of 

 team! All acknowledge that Howard's Ploughs are much 

 the strongest and most substantial made. 



Tliere has been quile an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, wtiich can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside, this shoe likewiie secures 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to S|5. A Plough 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SlO 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 50 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by
