PLOWS AND PLOWING. 
torn from the land by the breast of the plow. 
The fin cutter also lightens the draught of the 
plow. Fig. 33 shows the form of the mould 
board, the position of the beam over it, and the 
position of the land side. 
Fig. 34 is a pretty good representation of me 
work of this plow in stubble or old land. It is 
compare with that done by the stubble plow 
No. 37. The stubble plow No. 37. would not 
make nice work in sward furrows; it would 
break them too much. 
Fig. 36 represents an elevation, and fig. 37 a 
plan of the new sward plow for moist adhesive 
soils. There is another size, for furrows nine 
noticeable that the furrows are nicely laid 
for the reception of the seed grain; that the 
furrow slice is all taken up and forced over to 
an inverted position and there it stays; and 
that the furrow channel is en¬ 
tirely cleaned out for the recep¬ 
tion of the next furrow. It is 
impossible, however, to repre¬ 
sent these practical matters ex¬ 
actly on paper; we can only 
represent them generally. 
Fig. 35 represents the work 
of an approved sward plow, in 
stubble furrows. It is not broad 
and full enough at the heel to 
clean out the furrow channel. 
Then, too, after the furrow slice 
has reached the perpendicular 
position, there is not force 
enough in the mould board to 
compel the slice to grow over 
to its proper place, and as there 
inches deep, of the same general form and pro¬ 
portions with the one here represented. The 
handles, fig. 36, are long and raking, the beam 
is high, giving a space of 17 inches forward of

is not cohesion enough in the slice to hold it I the coulter, and 
together, a portion rolls one way, and a portion 
the other. The centre of the furrow on top is 
therefore the highest, the furrow channel is 
half filled up, and the work generally will not

the plow is mounted with a 
Scotch clevis, the adjustment for earthing being 
represented in fig. 36, and that of landing in fig. 
37. The general outline of the mould board is 
very well represented in fig. 37. The share is
