HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship ol these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to /ni/ t.'ie /arrow completely orcr. 

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

 ground in the best possible manna; The length of the 

 mould board has b( n very much increased, so thai 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 ^Vllrrester, say, 



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

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

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

 try Pruuty &. Meats, but if your la7id is heavy, liarU arrocky, 

 BEGIN WITH Mn. HowAiiii'a.'' 



At the above meMIoned trial the Howard Plough did 

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

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse/ea 

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

 Howard Plough turned tweniynine ami one half inclies,to 

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

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quile 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 strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to $15. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 S;o 60, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cotter, $2 50 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by

The diflerence in gathering a crop is -so much in favor of 

 cradling, that we must suppose that it -will bei the only mode 

 adopted hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use as an implement of husbandry, as the plownow isv 



There has been a very great im-provement in the manu-
