 ;o Oct. 1816. 



Remarks.— There is not only much saving and gain

 such as have been injured in their wind. 



WILLIS'S IMPROVED GUILLOTINE STRAW 

 CUTTER, 



Pope's Tlireshing Machine was invented bythe lati 

 Joseph Pope, Esq. of Halloweli, Me., and has been in 

 successful operation in different parts of the country for 

 many years. It is found to opi^rate well for all lunds 

 of grain, and is well adopted for cleaning rice. 



PLOUGHS. 



Tina implemeni, one of the oldest and most useful 

 employed on a funn.^' has undergone of 1 ite years, a won- 

 derful change in all ils most essential parts, and has bien 

 greitly improved. The Cast Iron Plough is now most 

 generally used among the best farmer.*, and considered 

 decidedly the best. Among the different ploughs now 

 made of cast iron, Howard's stand unrivalled. They 

 have been used at the different Cattle Shows, and Plough- 

 ing Matches, and have in all cases been approved by 

 them. At the Rrigbton Cattle Show at the exhibition 

 in October, 183?, they received the premium of $10, 

 awarded as being the best plough piesenled. 



Extract from the Rijiort of the Committee. 

 " The Ploughs were all of cast iron, and by six of the 

 most approved manufacturers. The one by Mr Charles 

 Howard of Hingham, was a superior inipjemcnt, consid- 

 erable improvements having recently been made by him. 

 in making the mould board much longer than usual, and 

 saelling ihe breast of the share, so as to mahe every 

 pgrt bear equally, by which means the plough runs more 

 true and steady, is always free from carrying forward 

 any earth, and wears perfectly bright; and being made 

 on mathematical principles, he informed the committee 

 he could make the dilfi:rent sizes always the same."

 Side IIii l Pi.orcii. This plough, for which a |>re- 

 mium was given at Brighton, is founil to be a very great 

 im|,rr>venicnt on the ploughs now in use, for working on 

 sidr: hills. The mouldboard is so constructed as to shift 

 on each siile, as may be leqoiied. by turning on the un- 

 derside of the pliiiigh as the team turns a'l each end of 

 the fill row. 



Howard's Improved Double Moold-Boakd

 out land— splitting hills — plonghing between corn, pota- 

 to, and vegetable cultivation, to great advantage. A 

 oreat labor saving machine, saves nearly all the lioeing 

 of corn or potatoes. 



One of the most useful articles to be found on a farm. 

 It is u-'ed on grass ground to admit the air and moisture 

 ,o liie ror.ts ol- the grass. They are very much esteem- 

 ed in the old countries.
