HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay ike furrow completely oner, 

 tvming- in every particle of grass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has h( n very much increased, so that 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 Worcester, say, 



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

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

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

 try Prouty &, Mears, but if your /anii is Acai>!/, Aarii orrocAi/, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



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

 more work, with the same pewer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse/en 

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

 Horeard Plough turned twentynine and one half inches, to 

 Ihe 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 liiis 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 toSl5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SIO 60, and with cutler Si, with wlieel and cutter, $2 00 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Stole, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by
