HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been maile the past year in the 

 form and workmanship ol these Ploughs ; the mould Ik ard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrow completely orcr 

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

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

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

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect tn 

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

 of Ploughs at Woroester, say, 



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

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say 10 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and e,isv to woik, 

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

 -EniN WITH Ma. Howard's.'' 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Pl'-ugh did 

 more work, with the same power of team, than atiy olhcr 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentysceji 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draujht, while ih? 

 Howard Plough turned twcntynine and one'half inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howanl's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 



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

 having to furnish a new landside: this shoe likewise sccnies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to S15. A Ploiii'h, 

 sulficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost abi'iiu 

 Slo 50, and with cutler *1, with wheel and cutter, $2 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed St.iie, 

 Nos. 61 & 52 North Market Street, bv

GRVIN CRADLES. 



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

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

 adopted hereaftf-r, and the grain cradle will become of as 

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



There has been a very great improvement in the manu- 

 facturing of this arlide, 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.
