HAY 1, 1844 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



" I wish you had been Eve," said an urchin to 

 an old Miiiid who was proverbial for her meanness. 



" Why so ?" she asked. 



'' Because," said lie, " you would have eaten a 

 the apple, instead of dividing it with Adam." 



Dow, Jr., the writer of the " short patent ser- 

 mons" of the N. Y. Mercury, recommends every 

 man to know himself — if not, he should inquire of 

 some one who does know him, and then act accord- 

 ingly. Good advice this. 



The Americans are followers of the English in 

 every thing. — London ^,?e. 



We must conffss, Mr Age, that our soldiers fol- 

 lowed you in the last war. — Louisville Jour. 



"What were the dark ages.'" inquired the 

 schoolmaster. " 1 guess they were the ages be- 

 fore spectacles were invented," replied the preco- 

 cious pupil.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past vear in the 

 form and workmanship o( these Plouehs ; the mould h« ard 

 has been so formed as to Iny the furrow romplptc'y orcr. 

 turning- in every particle of grass or stubble , and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould lioard has Ik n very much increnscd, so that the 

 Plough works with ihu greatest ease, both with respect to 

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

 of Ploughs at Worpester, say, 



" Should our opinmn be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to w*trk, 

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your land is heavy, iiard orroc/.y, 

 CEGiN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



At the above m'^r*t:oned trial the Howard Pl'^ugh did 

 more work, irith the same power of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned nmre ihan twentyse/en 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while ihe 

 Howard Plough lurned twentt/nine and one half inches, to 

 fhe same power of team ! All acknowledjje thai Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvempnl made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landsidc: this shoe likewise secures 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Sl5. A Plough 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 «iO 50, and wilh cutler £l, wilh wheel and cutter, S2 50 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New linglnnd Agri<-ultural Warehouse and Seed Sturei
