- HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship o( these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to la^i the furrow rompletebj oner, 

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

 ground in tlic best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has hf n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



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

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

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

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orroehj, 

 BEGIN WITH Mb. Howard's.'' 



At the above mer.t;oned trial the Howard Pl-^ugh did 

 more work, with the same power of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyseven 

 and orie half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Howard. Plough turned twetilifnine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team .' All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quiie an improvement made on the shoe, 

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

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secuies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strenglhens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 toSlS. A Ploiiph, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 Sip 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and culler, S2 00 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Slure, 

 Nos. 51 & 62 North "Market Street, by

TYi''. VP CHAINS, 



Just received by 500 Chains for tyeing up Cattle. 



These chains, introduced by E. H. Derbv, Esq. of Salem, 

 and Col. jAcauEs, for the purpose of securing cattle lo the 

 stall, are found tc be the safest and most convenient mode 

 of fastening cows and oxen to the stanchion. 



For sale by JOSEPH BRECK & CO., No. 52 North 

 Market st. 



GRAIN CRADLES. 



The diffrrence in gathering a crop is so much in favor of 

 cradling, that we must suppose that it will be the only mode 

 adopted hereaftpr, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use as an implemeni of husbandry, as the plow now is. 



There has been a very great improvement in the manu- 

 facturing of this article, they are now made on the most 

 improved plan ; the scythe is well secured and finished in a 

 superior manner and made of the best cast steel. 



For sale by JOSEPH BRECK, & CO. No. 51 & 52, 

 North Market st., Boston. July 13 



REVOLVING IIURSE RAKE. 



This is one of the most useful and labor saving machines 

 now in use. One man and a horse with a boy to lead, will 

 rake on an average from 25 to 30 acres per day, with ease 

 and do the work well There is a great advantage in this 

 rake over all others, as the person using it does not have to 

 stop the horse to unload the rake. For sale by J. BRECK 

 &CO., No. 62 North Market St. May 22. 



GRIlVOiiTONES, ON FRICTION ROLLERS. 



Grindstones of different sizes, bung on friction rollers and 

 moved with a foot treader, is lound to be a great improve- 

 ment on the old mode of hanging grindstones. Stones hung 

 in this manner are becoming daily more in use, and wherever 

 used, give universal satisfaction. The rollers can be attach- 

 ed to stones hung in the common way. For sale by J. 

 BRECK & Co., No. 51 North Market street.
