THE BOSTON AND .WORCESTER 



EAGLE DOUBLE PLOWS. 



?^t, 



THE superior merits of tlif-se Plows, consist in, 

 1. Tlie mode of attaciiing the forward mould-beard to the 

 beam, by which great slrengih and durability are secured, as 

 also the various d(i^rL;bIe changes in depth of vpork, and rela- 

 tive depth of eachfiow, the same being regulated to any shade 

 of nicety, with perfei ; facility. 



3. Tlie entire and handsome overturning of the sod furrow, 

 by the forward mould-board, to the extent 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 tlie inverted sod, so as to entirely fill 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 

 unnecepsary: 



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

 to the amount of work and the thoroughness of pulverization 

 accomi)lished. 



Sever, 1 sizes of the BOSTON & WORCESTER EAGLE 

 DOUBLE PLOW, are made by the subscribers, from patterns 

 of their own original invention. They invite ttieir friends and 

 customers to e.xamine these Plows, as to quality and durabil- 

 ity of material, thoroughness and finish of construction, and 

 to test their working properties.

Oyster Shell Lime. 



THE subscriber has been induced at the request of several of 

 his friends in the farming interest, to enter into the manu- 

 facture of SHELL LIME, for farming purposes, and la now 

 prepared to deliver at any of the railroads in Boston or 

 Charlestown, the article in lots of from 10 to 100 barrels, at 

 the low price of 35 cts. per barrel, or if taken at the kiln in 

 Medford Street, Charlestown, at 30 cents. The money must 

 be sent with the order. 



Also, for sale, 100 barrels of Thomaston Lime, in lots to suit 

 purchasers. 



Application may be made nt No. TO State Street, Boston, 

 or at the Kilu, situated on Gould's Wharf, (so called) Charles- 

 town. JAMES GOULD, Agent. 



0° The shell lime made into mortar, with four barrels of 

 sand to each barrel of lime, will make a cement of better 

 quality than the best of Thomaston lime, for cellar walls or 

 stone work of any kind. 



It also contains double the quantity of Phosphate of lime, 

 than is contained in stone lime, consequently for farming pur- 

 poses is much the cheapest.
