HOWARD'S IMffiOVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH, 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmam+liip of these Ploughs ; the mould bt-ard 

 has been so formed as to lay the JUrrow completely oi^cr, 

 turning in every particle of grass or slubble, and Leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board ha»b( n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the gr.eatestease, both with r»»pecl to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee al 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 land is mostly light and easy to work, 

 try Prouty &. I\Iears, but if your landis lieavy, hard orrochy, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. HowAan's.'" 



Al the above mer.t;onad trial the Howard Plough rfid 

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

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse/ea 

 and one half inches, to the 113 lbs, draught-, while the 

 Howard Plough turned tv>cntynine,a»d one lm(f inches, to 

 the same power of team .' All acknowledge 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 ol this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having lo furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secures 

 ihe mould hoard and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is fro.m S6 to Sl5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SlO 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and culler, S2 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricullural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by
