HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in I he 

 form and workmanship o( these Ploughs; the mnulil biaril 

 has been so foiineil as to lai/ the furrow rorifilr.'elil orcr, 

 turning in evcrij particle of grass or siuhble,and icnring the 

 ground in the' best possible ma7incr. The leiipth ol the 

 innidd boaril has hi n very much increase:', so that the 

 Pbiiigli works with the greatest ease, both wirh respect to 

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

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should onr 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 laiiil is mostly light and easy to work, 

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

 BEGIN wrrH Mb. HowAnn's.'' 



At the above me-.fiOned trial the Howard Plough ilid 

 more icorh, with the same pmrer of team, than any other 

 plough e.vhibiled. No ,itlier turned more than tweniyse.'cn 

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

 Howard Plough turned twcnh/ninc and one half inches, to 

 the same poxoer of learn .' All acknowledgt that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side o( ibis Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside: this shorlikewise secuies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S 6 toSl5. A Ploin-h, 

 sufiicienl for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 S.n 50, and with culler Si, with wheel and cutler, S2 50 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural WarchoMse and Seed Slme,

GRAIN CR\DLKS. 



The diiTrrence 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 

 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 article, they are now made on the tnost 

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

 superior manner and marie of the best cast steel.
