 stantially as described and shown. 



8. The combination of a carriage of sub- 

 stantially the construction described, of a sup- 

 plemental frame suspended on one side and 

 carrying the plow and pulverizing wheel, which 

 operate in connection with each other, and a 

 seed-dropping device mounted on the opposite 

 side, the aparatus operating to plow, pulverize, 

 and plant at one operation, as set forth.

Claim. 1. The revolving plow I, of tubular 

 form, for encircling, operating upon, and rear- 

 wardly delivering the soil, substantially as de- 

 scribed. 



2. In a machine - plow, the combination of 

 the cutter proper g', having plain or irregular 

 edge for severing the slice of soil, and the re- 

 volving tube I for inverting the same. 



3. In a machine-plow, a tube, I and a cutter 

 g', the latter being provided with a lip, R, pro- 

 jecting into the tube, as and for the purpose set 

 forth. 



4. In a machine-plow, the lip R, projecting 

 rearwardly from the cutter g', and formed to 

 present an edge, r, obliquely to the carrying 

 part moving away therefrom, for the purposes 

 of facilitating the revolution of the tube, de- 

 creasing compression, and increasing breaking 

 effect. 



5. The tube I and cutter proper, g', the lat- 

 ter having a lip, R, projecting into the former, 

 said lip being provided with a brush, S, radia- 

 ting from the convex side of its rear edge, r, 

 combined and operating as described. 



6. The combination of the cutter g' , lip R, 

 and tube I, having slots or escape-holes /', for 

 the purpose set forth. 



7. In a machine plow, the fixed cutter G g' 

 and the revolving tube I, having gear-holes, f, 

 in combination with shaft F and suitable gear- 

 ing driven from the ground-wheel B, substan- 

 tially as shown and described. 



8. The tube I, having gear-holes /' and 

 escape-holes i, guarded by outside plates T, 

 substantially as set forth. 



g. The combination of the tube I and the 

 cutter £' with lip R and guards T. 



10. The combination of the revolving tube 

 I, fixed cutter G, collar H, tie-rods J, and roll- 

 ers K, substantially as shown and described. 



11. In a machine-plow, the tube-shaft F, 

 collars G and H, and tie-rods J, substantially 

 as described, and for the purpose of supporting 

 the bracing and tube. 



12. In a machine-plow, the drive-wheel B, 

 gearing b d, cross-shaft D, bevels E, tube-shaft 

 E, and gearing //', for revolving the tube I, 

 substantially as set forth. 



13. In a revolving-plow, the ribs or guide X, 

 or their equivalents, to prevent any tendency 

 of the soil to slide sidewise. 



14. The combination of tubular plow I and 

 frame G H J, or its equivalent, and rollers K, 



provided with retaining flanges k, as and for 

 the purpose set forth. 



15. In a revolving tubular plow, the tooth 

 or breaker W, substantially as described, and 

 for the purpose set forth. 



16. In a revolving plow, the combination of 

 tube I, rear collar, H, and tooth or breaker W, 

 substantially as shown and described.

Matilda Furnace, Pa. Combined Plows and 

 Pulverizing Harrows. Dec. 16, 1879. Filed 

 Nov. 4, 1879. 



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

 bination, with a wheel-harrow, of a plow lo- 

 cated by its side and adapted to turn the fur- 

 row into said harrow, and of a second plow ar- 

 ranged in a line (but on a higher plane) with 

 ' the first, and forward of the harrow, as and 

 for the purpose set forth. 



2. In a tilling apparatus, the forward plow, 

 11, made vertically adjustable, in combination 

 with a revolving pulverizer made vertically ad- 

 justable, so that the latter may admit the pass- 

 age below it of any depth of cut or thickness 

 of field-growth removed by the former, sub- 

 stantially as described and shown. 



3. In a tilling apparatus, the combination, 

 with an ordinary beam plow, of a horizontal 

 axle crossing the said plow beam and support- 

 ing upon the furrow side a revolving wheeb 

 pulverizer adapted to move in the furrow last 

 made and to receive the earth from said plow, 

 and upon the other end an adjustable gage- 

 wheel travelling upon the land, the two wheels 

 when adjusted in combination supporting, 

 steadying, and equalizing the movement and 

 cut of the plow, substantially as described and 

 shown. 



4. In a tilling apparatus, the combination, 

 with an ordinary beam-plow, of an axle con- 

 nected to said plow and made vertically ad- 

 justable thereon, said axle carrying on one end 

 a pulverizing-wheel adapted to move in the 

 furrow and receive earth from the plowshare, 

 and upon the other end an adjustable gage- 

 wheel travelling on the land, as set forth. 



5. In a tilling apparatus, the combination 

 in gangs of a series of ordinary beam plows 

 and revolving wheel - pulverizers adapted to 

 move in their respective furrows and to re- 

 ceive and pulverize the earth from their respect- 

 ive plows, substantially as described and shown.

Chicago, 111. Rotary Gang-Plows. Feb. 



3, 1880. Filed Aug. 2, 1879. 



Claim. 1. The crank-axle C, having upon 

 one end the disk-plow B, and mounted at the 

 other end diagonally upon the wheeled support- 

 ing-frame A, in combination with the movable 

 bearings D, the crank-lever E, hand-lever G, 

 and link-rods connecting the lever and axle, 

 whereby the axle is made capable of adjustment 

 in two directions to either raise and lower the 

 disks or change their angle to the line of draft,
