HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; llie mould beard 

 has been so formed as to liuj the furrow eompletehj oocr, 

 turnihg- in every particle of ^rass or stuhbtc, andtcaoinff the 

 f(round in the bat ponsi'ble manner. The length of the 

 mould board has Ik n very much increased, so that Irtfe 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

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

 of Plough^ it Worcester, sav, 



" Should uur opinion be asljed as lo which of the Ploughs 

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

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

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrochj, 



BEGIN WITH Mr. HoWAUD's.'' 



At Ihe above mer.tMiied trial the Howard Plough did 

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

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyseveu 

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

 Howard Plough tumed twenlynine and one half 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 of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having lo 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 $6 to 8|5. A Plough, 

 sufficienl for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SiO 50, and with culler Si, with wheel and cutter, 82 60 

 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
