are let into the runners four and one-half inches deep ; 

 these slope from top to bottom edge backwards, forty-five 

 degrees, so as to draw over the rough ground, and break 

 clods by pressing on them. These runners are let into 

 the cross-pieces one inch, and are fastened together by 

 large screws. A strip of two by four is halved down on 

 the runners in the front, for a draw-bar. The tongue is 

 fitted with hooks, which are attached to rings on the 

 draw-bar, so that it can be removed when the sled is 

 turned over to be used as a clod-crusher. 



A LAND LEVELER.

 ing, the three plank leveler and clod-crusher is useful. 



Fig. 62. LAND LEVELER. 



The planks are held together by a chain, and both with 

 large washers, which pass through links. If short pieces 

 of heavy chain are fastened to the holes in the rear plank 

 they will mark sufficiently plain for corn or potato 

 planting.
