PLOWS.

J. Plows. June 26, 1797. 



No Claim. The plow to be (except the 

 handles and beam) of solid cas f iron, consisting 

 of a standard, sheath and mold plate. The 

 sheath serves a double purpose of colter and 

 sheath and the mold plate serves for n share or 

 point and mold board, that is to cut and turn 

 the furrow.

Md. Plows. Nov. 25, 1808. 



No Claim. The beam, handles, and sword, 

 all of wood, are nearly similar in their con- 

 struction to those of the common plow. The 

 landside and mold board, both of cast iron, 

 are connected with wrought screws, and there 

 is attached to the upper side of the moldboard 

 a share, which in its shape differs from any 

 other now in practice, it being fastened on the 

 upper side, of the mold board with screws, the 

 point doubling over but running even with the 

 landside, and leaving a hollow under the mold 

 board, so that small stones, will pass without 

 interruption. It is made of wrought iron whose 

 edge is steeled, and weighing from four to eight 

 pounds, according to the size of the plow. 



In Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, 

 particularly in Maryland, the farmers prefer a 

 plow of the above construction for deep plow- 

 ing, and its great use is that any number of 

 shares will fit one plow, besides, it can be kept 

 in repair at less expense than any other. 



To the end of the share, but through the 

 beam, the colter is attached, which in its make 

 differs very little from the one commonly used. 

 The clevis varies in its form, according to the 

 fancy of the owner of the plow.

STEPHEN McCORMICK, Farquier, Co. 



Va. Plows. Feb. 3, 1819. 



No Claim. This plow has a plate of wrought 

 iron added to a bar which forms the landside, 

 point, and share. There is a mortise hole 

 through the share near the bar to receive the 

 sheath and brace. 



The mold board is made of cast iron, and is 

 so constructed as to fit on the share end. It 

 has a perpendicular landside of ten inches or 

 less, (agreable to the size of a Plow,) which 

 has a shoulder, that butts against the sheath. 

 The front part of the mold board has a gradual 

 rise to the highest part of the lower edge of the 

 mold board, and has a circular shape which 

 forms a gradual rise to a right angle to the 

 landside. The upper edge widens gradually 

 until it hangs over the heel or bottom part six or 

 eight inches. The mold board is confined to 

 the sheath by two rivets and by two to the 

 stilt. The shares is confined to the mold-board 

 by a brace passing in front of the sheath 

 through the wood or by this side of an iron 

 beam, which is fastened by a screw ; also, a 

 screw passing through near the edge of the 

 mold-board and share. The head is confined 

 by a screw to the stilt. 



The beam is made of iron ; is about six feet 

 long, with a considerable curve, two inches 

 and a half wide, and one and an eighth thick, 

 which is large enough for three horses. The 

 front end has holes to admit an open ring, or 

 clevis; also, a hole through the other end, 

 where it comes into the stilt, which is confined 

 by a rivet pin. This beam is let into the top 

 of the sheath, which is made of wood, and is 

 confined by a cap of thin iron. The beam has 

 a band of iron about five inches in front of the 

 sheath, which is large enough on the under 

 edge of the beam to admit a hook of one end 

 of a brace which passes through the sheath 

 and stilt near the heel of the plow, which is 

 fastened by a screw. The stilts are made of 

 wood, about five and a half feet long.

No Claim. This plow is different from all 

 other plows, inasmuch as the landside is com-
