132 square inches; in the second, it required 75o yard pounds to 

 turn a slice of 121) square inches. 



The work performed by this plow was entirely satisfactory. 

 The furrow channel was perfectly cleared; the earth was tho- 

 rouo;hly pulverized; the grass, weeds and stubbles were entirely 

 buried, so that they could not possibly spring up again; the plow 

 ran very truly, so that a boy could hold it, and, as will be seen 

 on inspecting the table, it consumed very little power in propor- 

 tion to the work performed. The workmanship throughout was 

 excellent and conscientious, and the material was as good as wood 

 and cast iron could make them. 



We have no hesitation in awarding a gold medal to this plow. 



As heretofore remarked, plow No. 69 has a stubble mould- 

 board, for stubble plowing, as in Class IV; a skim plow, to be 

 used in connection with the stubble mould-board, for sod and sub- 

 soil plowing, as in Class V; and a sod mould-board, for sod plow- 

 ing, as represented in Fig. 118, — turning either lap or flat furrows 

 by a change of cutter, and working from seven to ten inches deep.
