 same time as tilled, and in one and the same 

 continuous operation, substantially as described 

 and shown. 



5. In a tilling implement, the seat 56 and 

 draft-bars 46 47, in combination with the T 

 rocking lever 8 9, ratchet-posts 35 36, frame 6 

 7, with its cultivating attachments, lever 43, 

 and axle, arranged as described, to cause the 

 driver's weight to assist in forcing the imple- 

 ment into the earth, or to raise and sustain it 

 above the ground, substantially as shown and 

 described. 



6. In a tilling implement, the combination 

 therewith of an adjustable triangular lifting and 

 carrying arrangement composed of the T rock- 

 ing levers 8 9, supported on the axle 48, the 

 cultivating attachment bars 6 7, and ratchet- 

 posts 35 36, whereby the carrying wheels and 

 axle serving as a fulcrum, the power of the 

 team, acting through the T rocking levers at 

 either end, alternately serves to raise or sustain 

 the implement from the earth at will substan- 

 tially as shown and described.

Claim. 1, In a tilling implement, combin- 

 ing two or more revolving cutters, 51 revolving 

 with a central roller or axis, 52, the subdivision 

 of that roller into, or the surrounding of that 

 axis by a number of smaller rollers, 2, rotating 

 on independent axes 3, and having sharpened 

 cutting edges 4, that serve to cut up, crush, or 

 disintegrate the weeds, stalks, or other field 

 growth that may pass between said revolving 

 cutters, substantially as described and shown. 



2. In a tilling implement, combining a re- 

 volving spade, composed of one or more rotat- 

 ing blades, 53, the combination therewith of a 

 series of parallel bars, 5 their supporting wheels 

 6 and 7, eccentric track, and side plates, 8 and 

 9, for projecting and withdrawing the spade- 

 cleaners and forcibly ejecting the earth at 

 each revolution, substantially as described and 

 shown. 



3. In a tilling implement having a revolving 

 or fixed spade, the combination therewith of a 

 sifting-grate of unequal spaces, the revolving 

 toothed bars 12, with gear-train 13 and 14, the 

 side frames, 11 and 15, the latter provided with 

 an inclosed gear-box, the chain 21, and chain- 

 wheels 20 and 31, substantially as shown and 

 described. 



4. In a tilling implement combining a re- 

 volving cutter, a revolving spade, and a sifting- 

 grate, the combination therewith of an auto- 

 matic seed-drill, of a convenient device for 

 planting the earth at the same time as tilling 

 it, and in one continuous operation, substan- 

 tially as described and shown.

Claim. 1. In a tilling apparatus, the com- 

 bination, with a plow carred on a frame, of a 

 wheel supporting said frame and adapted to 

 move on the bottom of the furrow last made, 

 and to receive and pulverize the earth from the 

 furrows in process of making, as set forth. 



2. In a tilling apparatus, a revolving pulver- 

 izer, closed or partially closed on the furrow 

 side, adapted to receive the earth from the land 

 side, and provided with internal pulverizing 

 apparatus adapted to pulverize the earth and 

 to let it drop in the furrow behind the pulver- 

 izing-wheel, as set forth. 



3. In combination with the revolving pul- 

 verizer having bars and teeth, as set forth, the 

 shield 8, fixed to the shaft and operating in 

 connection with the plow and the revolving 

 wheel, as and for the purposes set forth. 



4. In combination with a tilling apparatus, 

 consisting of a plow and a revolving pulverizer, 

 receiving the earth from the plow, moving in 

 the furrow last made, and leaving the pulver- 

 ized earth therein, a seeding device, the parts 

 operating together, as set forth.

 ing devices, and of the levers 23, lifting-bars 

 26, shackle-bars 25, lifting cranks 27, and the 

 shaft-crank, connecting-rod, and lever, as set 

 forth. 



2. In combination with the lifting apparatus 

 and the suspended frame, the springs 24, ar- 

 ranged upon the bolts of the principal lever- 

 bars 23, and operating with the controlling 

 lever, to raise the frame, as set forth. 



3. The combination of a carriage-frame and 

 combined plow and harrow-frame with the lift- 

 ing-springs 24, the principal levers 23, lifting-

4. In a vertical wheel-harrow, the combina- 

 tion of transverse removable bars and the per- 

 forated rims, whereby the spaces are made, ad- 

 justable in width, as set forth. 



5. A vertical wheel-harrow, 2, in combina- 

 tion with a pulverizing-plate, 15, having hing-
