WIItLIS'S I^ATEST IMPROVED VEGBTABL.E 

 CUTTKR. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Ruta Bnga. 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 callle to eat. It will cut with ease 

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

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been maile the nasi year in Ihe 

 form and wnrUumiiship of these Ploughs; the inmild beard 

 has been so formed as to laii the furrow nomplciehj oner, 

 turning in crery pnrlicle of grass or suU'hte, and leaving- the 

 ground in the br.it pobHblc manner. The lenflh of the 

 mould board has Ik n very much increascil, so that the 

 Pliingh works with Ihe greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the buldiug and the team. The Coinmiliee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worrcster, say, 



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

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

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

 try Prouty & Alears, but if your /oik/ is hcaey, hard orrocl.y, 

 EKGiN WITH Ma. HnwAnn's.'' 



At the above mer.tioned trial the Howard Plough did 

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

 plough exhibited. Kk^ other turned more than twentyso/ea 

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

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and one half inches, to 

 Ihe same power of team ! All acknowledge that llowanl's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantioily 

 made. 



There has been quile an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new bindside; this shoe likewise secnies 

 the mould board and jandside together, and strengiliens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 toSl5. A Plonoh, 

 sufficient for breaking up with fonr cattle, will cost alioiit 

 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 Store, 

 Nos. 61 & 52 North Market Street, by
