HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in ihe 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould Ik an! 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrow completely orcr 

 turning in every particle of grass or sliU>ble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has h( a very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the holding and ihe team. The Coininiuee at 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 farm, we might perhaps say to 

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

 try Prouly &. Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrocky. 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



At the above mer.t;oned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, ir^ith the same power of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse. 'en 

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

 Howard Plough turned twerJitpiine and one X(il.f inehes.to 

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

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most subst3i>tially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

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

 having lo furnish a new jandside: this shoe likewise seciiies 

 the mould hoard and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Si 5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking np with four cattle, will cost about 

 SIO 00, and with cutler Si, with wheel and cutter, $2 DO 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Stoic, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by

Chairman. 



GRAIN 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 hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 mucli use as an implement 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.
