HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvemcnis have been made llie past year in 

 form and workmanship of these Plousrhs ; the r. luld hi 

 has been so formed as lo lay ihe fii'rrmc rnrnplrtety o 

 lurnwg in every partiele of grass orslul'hie, and leaving 

 frround in the best passible manner. The leiisth of 

 mould board has lu n very much increased, so that 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, (mth wiih respec 

 the holding and ihe team. The Committee at the late t 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as lo which of the Plou 

 •we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps sa 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy lo w 

 try Prouly & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orro~ 

 begin with Mr. Howard's." 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough 

 more work, with the same pewer of tarn, than any a 

 plough e-vhibiled. No ,ither turned more t'.aii Iwentyse 

 and one half inches, lo the 112 lbs. draught, while 

 Howard Plough turned ticentynine and one half inche: 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howa 

 Ploughs are much the strongest aud most substanti 

 made. 



■There has been quite an improvement made on the si 

 or land side of this Plough, which rnn be renewed will 

 having to furnish a new landsidc: t. s shoe likewise sect 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Si 5. A Plot 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost al;
