Hitchcock's Patent Cast Iron Ploughs, ' 

 (h Cast Iron and Wrought Iron Standards, of sizes 

 uit all the common purposes of farming. The result 

 our years' experience in using and vending these 

 ^ijighs, enables the subscriber to recommend them to 

 farming community with the greatest confidence — ■ 

 the improvements made by Mr Hitchcock in his 

 igh, renders them far superior to .iny other now in 

 Having sold five hundred, many of which have 

 ised on very stoney farms, have known of no one 

 1 has used his plough enough to scour the iron smooth, 

 he learned to graduate the chain so as to balance, or 

 ;e the plough to run level, but gives them a decided 

 erence to any other with which he has been acquaiat- 

 JOi and there have been repeated trials of them in com- 

 tion with various other noted ploughs, of both Cast 

 and Wtought Iron, in the same field, by the same 

 , for the particular purpose of ascertaining their rela- 

 qualities. 

 ra^hese ploughs are simple in their construction, and 

 ig, — of easy draught and management ; their shape 

 apted to the lifting and turning the furrow slice in the 

 possible manner — loosening and pulverizing the soil, 

 leaving it unusually light and friable In turning in 

 s, stubble, and coarse manure, they work remarkably 

 , and cover everything. 



e castings are warranted to be of the best quility of 

 for ploughs, and sound. In case any of the iron 

 ks in consequence of defects, they will be exchanged
