THE BOSTON AND WORCESTER 



EAGLE DOUBLE PLOWS. 



THE superior merits of these Plows, consist in, 

 1. The mode of attaching the forward mould-board to the 

 beam, by which great .strength and durability are secured, as 

 also the various desirable changes in depth of work and rela- 

 tive depth of each plow, the:$ame being regulated to any shade 

 of nicety, with perfect facility. 



2. The entire and handsome overturning of the sod furrow, 

 by the lorward mould-board, to the e.xtent of the whole width 

 of furrow taken by I he plow, placing it beneath, out of the 

 way of the teeth of the harrow, cultivator, or other imple- 

 ment, so that it is in no case dragged to the surface in the af- 

 ter-cultivation of the crop: 



3. The thorough and finished work done by the rear mould- 

 board, in taking up its furrow of under soil and sifting or scat- 

 tering it over the inverted sod, so as to entirely till to the sur- 

 face, and at the same time break open any undue cohesion ol 

 the soil, leaving the plowed land in a finely pulverized condi- 

 tion, requiring little labor with the harrow or other surface- 

 working instrument,— and indeed, in all tolerably free loams, 

 rendering the use of these instruments, as pulverizers, quite 

 unnecessary: 



4. The remarkably light draught of the plow, in proportion 

 to the amount of wurk and the thoroughness of pulverization 

 accomplished. 



Sever 1 sizes of the BOSTON & WORCESTER EAGLE 

 DOUBLE PLOW, aiemiide by the subscribers, from patterns 

 of their own original invention. They invite their friends and 

 customers to examine these Plows, as to quality and durabil- 

 ity of material, thoroughness and finish of construction, and 

 to test their working properties.

Church and Barn Vanes. 



THE Vane as used on either churches or b;irns combines 

 both usefulness and ornament- The subscriber ha" had 

 many years' experience in the making of Vanes, and has man- 

 ufactured a large number which have given uniform saiisfac- 

 tiiin. His patterns have been procured at much pains and 

 exjiense, and embrace quite a vaiiety of those most approved 

 and sought after. His construction of Vanes is under his own 

 eye and of the best and most durable material copper only 

 being used. Those in want of Vanes for either churches or 

 barns, are invited to make trial of those made by the subscri- 

 ber. On the score of expense, strength and beauty, they will 

 be found to be what is required. I. S. TOMPKINS,
