WILLIS'S LATEST lilIPROVED VEGETABLE 

 CUTTKR. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Rula Baga, Mangel Wurtzel, and other roots. The 

 great objection to other machines, is their cutting the roots 

 into slices, which makes it almost impossible for the cattle 

 to get hold of them: this machine with a little alteration, 

 cuts them into large or small pieces, of such shape as is 

 most convenient for the cattle to eat. It will cut with ease 

 from one to two bushels of roots per minute. For sale by 

 J. BK-ECK & CO., Nos. 61 :. ul 52 North Market st.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great iniprovcnicnls have been nnuic the past year in the 

 form and workmanship ol these Ploughs ; tlie mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrnw complclchj oiicr, 

 lurnitiir in every particle nf grass or siuhblc, and waving the 

 ground in the bed possible vianncr. The length of Iho 

 mould board has be n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works wiih the greatest ease, Iroth 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 (or u.se on a farm, we might perhaps say to 

 the inquirer, if your l;md is mostly light and easv to work, 

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

 BEGIN WITH Mr. HowAno's,'' 



At the above mer.t-.oned trial the Howard Plough did 

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

 plough exhibited. No other turned more ihan iwentysoven 

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

 Howard Plough turneil twen limine and one half inches, lo 

 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 to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secuies 

 the mould board and landside together, and streii^ihens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S5 to SIS. A Plough, 

 suflicient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SIO 60, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Stiire, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by
