WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED VEGETABLE 

 CUTTER. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Ruta 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

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould bcarrt 

 has been so formed as to la\i the furrow compleiety oner, 

 turning m every particle of g-rass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The lenoth of the 

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

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the fiolding 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 I routy & Hears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrockv, 



BEGIN WITH Ma. HoWAHD'S." 



At the above meritioned trial the Howard Pl-ugh did 

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

 plough e.vhibitcd. No other turned more than twentyseven 

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

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and one'lialf inches, to 

 the same power of learn ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantialli 

 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 hoard and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from $6 to $15. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 ♦ 10 60, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 68 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store.
