Highest Premium Improved Eajgle Plow, 
Manufactured and sold at the United States Agricul¬ 
tural Warehouse, 195 Front-St., N. Y. 
T HESE Plows combine new and important improvements, 
adapted to the different qualities of soil, and the various modes 
and systems of culture. Their Eagle Plows, as improved, are 
much longer; the mould board, landside, and share, are extended 
without any addition to the draught of the plow, thus adapting this 
plow'to the more perfect turning and running under the green 
sward, and inverting the furrow slice, so desirable in green sward 
plowing—the principle of these plows is such, from where the fur¬ 
row is received upon the mouldboard to where it leaves it, that it 
enables the plow to take up the furrow slice with the greatest pos¬ 
sible ease, bearing equally and lightly upon the whole surface of 
the mouldboard, turning it over with the least possible bending or 
twisting, and preserving it flat, smooth and unbroken; laying the 
fhrrow slice closely and compactly side by side, and creating but 
slight friction upon the face of the mouldboard. Passing through 
the soil thus, the plow Requires Very little power of draught be¬ 
yond what is required to cut out the furrow slice. In testing the 
quality of these plows, the power by which they are moved—the 
ease with which they are handled, and the manner in which they 
complete the work, are three important points, all of which ate 
wisely, accurately and judiciously preserved. The character of 
these plows for ease and draught and management, and the excel¬ 
lence of their work, though well established in ihe minds of the 
community, was most fully exhibited to the public at the grand 
trial of plows by the American Institute at Harlem and Long Is¬ 
land October, 1847, whose able and impartial committee awarded 
the highest premium to J. Mayher & Co., for the best plow for do¬ 
ing the best work with the least draught, (in a trial open to the 1 
whole Union,) running in its natural course, and keeping in itstru© 
position without any effort of the plowman, and turning a furrow 
12 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with a much less draught than 
any other plow on the ground, among which were the Bergen 
Plow, Minor and Horton Plow, John Moore’s Plow, and B. Myers' 
Plow, of Newark. The Eagle Improved Plow of J. Mayher & 
Co., was at the late trial pronounced by the committee and experi¬ 
enced farmers to be the nearest perfection of any implement of the 
kind in this country, in respect to materials, workmanship, and in 
form of construction. The castings are of superior kind, they are 
made out of the strongest kind of cast iron, the point and edge of 
the share and base of the landside, are steel chilled hardened, and 
will wear out six shares and landsides of the common plows; the 
workmanship of this plow is nothing inferior to any in the country; 
the timber of which it is made is the best of white oak; every far¬ 
mer knows that timber in his plow is of the utmost importance— all 
of which in fact renders the Eagle Plow the very article everji far¬ 
mer wants. The high character of these plows is abundantly sus¬ 
tained by a continued and extended patronage, which the manufac¬ 
turers hope by their efforts and exertions to retain. Being experi¬ 
enced Plow Makers, they will not spare any exertions to gender 
their plows superior to all others. 
They have also for sale over one hundred different kinds of plows, 
all of the latest and most improved kinds, together with the moss 
extensive assortment of Agricultural Implements ever offered in the 
city of New-York, among which may be found a large assortment 
of Harrows, Cultivators, Wheelbarrows, Ox Yokes and Bows, 
Shovels, Spades, Hay and Manure Forks, Rakes, Hoes, Scythes, 
Sneaths. Cradles, &c., &c., all of which they will sell cheaper thata 
thev can be purchased in any other store in the United States.
