THE CHARTER OAK SWIVEL PLOW. 
THE ONLY PERFECT SWIVEL, PLOW. 
Orono, Me., Aug. 16,1875. 
Dear Sir .-—We have to-day tested, by actual trial, the ef¬ 
ficacy of the Charter Oak Swivel Plow that you sent me 
some weeks since. It was used ou dry, stiff loam grass land. 
The ground was somewhat sloping, and the furrows were 
turned up the slope. I expected a failure, and seemed like¬ 
ly to realize my expectations as the furrow slice would slip 
over the end of the mold-board, and fall back Into the fur¬ 
row. It then occurred to me to try the effect of expanding 
the brace that held the mold-board in position. This done, 
the mold performed its work admirably, completely invert¬ 
ing the furrow-slice, and leaving the bottom side up with 
ease. 
I have long doubted the possibility of constructing a 
swivel plow which would do good work on level or slightly 
undulating land. I am no longer faithless, for I have seen 
the Charter Oak Swivel Plow accomplish this. 
Very truly yours, J. R. FARRINGTON, 
Farm Sup't Maine State College.
