 same place. Plows. June 20, 1882. Filed 

 Apr. 7, 1882. 



Claim. 1. The improved method of plow- 

 ing herein shown and described, the same 

 consisting in cutting a triangular slice from the 

 soil along the furrow to be made by a vertical 

 cut and excavating underneath said slice, caus- 

 ing it to drop, right side up, into the trench 

 or furrow being made, and spreading the ex- 

 cavated earth over the slices of soil deposited 

 in the trenches last made, substantially as 

 shown and set forth. 



2. A plow adapted to cut off a slice of earth 

 triangular in cross section from the surface of 

 the soil by a vertical cut and excavating un- 

 derneath the same, causing the slice of earth to 

 drop into the bottom of the trench or furrow 

 right side up, substantially as set forth. 



3. In a plow, the combination, with a rotary 

 cutter or colter cutting in a vertical, or ap- 

 proximately vertical, plane, of an oblique cut- 

 ter or cutter head adapted to excavate earth in 

 an oblique direction from the surface of the 

 soil to its point of intersection with the cut 

 made by the rotary cutter or colter, substan- 

 tially as and for the purpose herein shown and 

 set forth. 



4. The combination, in a rotary plow, «of 

 the master wheel C, shaft F, pinion E, bevel- 

 wheel G, frame I, hung upon shaft F, and hav- 

 ing the handle or lever I', shaft K, mounted in 

 said frame and provided with the bevel pinion 

 N, and rotary cutter head L, and the rotary 

 colter or cutting-disk O, all constructed and 

 combined to operate substantially in the man- 

 ner and for the purpose herein shown and spe- 

 cified. '

 support k, chain /*, support / 3 , pulley /*, and 

 rack / 5 , substantially as described, whereby the 

 spades may be adjusted to any desired depth of 

 thrust, as set forth. 



3. In combination with the cylindrical body 

 of the spader and its shaft B, the rollers V V, 

 supplementary roller-shafts X, screwed on shaft 



B, and having flanges x and nuts x', all arrang- 

 ed as shown and described. 



4. The combination, with the shaft B, disks 

 G G, and lever I, of the arms g 3 , having slots 

 g 4 , and the dust-boxes H, having side openings

New York, N. Y. Plowing and Tilling Ap- 

 paratus. July 4, 1882. Filed July 13, 1881. 

 Claim. 1. A rotary plow consisting of a 

 helix of thin metal coiled edgewise around and 

 along a central shaft that is arranged in the 

 line of the advance of the plow when at work, 

 said helix being concave on the forward side 

 and convex on the rear side, and being con- 

 structed and operated by means of driving-gear, 

 so that it enters the ground at the hind point, 



C, and turns in the direction whereby the screw 

 advances, with respect to the ground, in the 

 direction of the movement of the screw along 

 the ground, substantially as described. 



2. The combination of the slicer I with the 

 rotary helical plow A, having concave front 

 and convex rear sides, and arranged on a shaft 

 whose axis is in the line of the movement of 

 the plow along the ground, substantially as 

 described. 



3. The combination of the clearer J with the 

 rotary helical plow A, having concave front 

 and convex rear sides, and arranged on a shaft 

 whose axis is in the line of the movement of 

 the plow along the ground substantially as 

 described. 



4. The combination, with the rotary plow 

 A, of the reciprocating saw-colter O, having a 

 horn, X, substantially as described.

 rods connected thereto by swivel-joints extend- 

 ing respectively backward and forward to op- 

 erate the clutches on the said half-axles, sub- 

 stantially as hereinbefore set forth.
