The Improved Patent Plough.

TyEIE expensive force necessary Tor
j ploughing in the coilmon way, has
been long known and lamented by farmers.
Many attempts have been made to obviate
that Inconvenience, by the construction OF
plough on Mechanical principles, and pa
tents have been granted to applicants who
profess TO have improved on that agrcultu-
raj implement. These Improvements are
now before the public, the proper arblters
in such cases, who will approve or condemn
according to the merits or dement's OF the
performance.
|. also. have become candidate for pub
lie patronage, and snail attempt TO explain
and give reasons to show at least some adj
vantages which think my plough possesses
over any other now in use.
For is durability and simplicity OF con-
struction. It's first eXCellency, no plough now
in use surDasses it-but its chief advanta-
ge, lie in he ease with which it breaks and
inverts the soil, and will plough in clover
or gras land of any kind without being
clo@ge6 choaked. These properties
arise from the mechanical principles on
which il is formed. The wedge is said to
possess the requisite properties for breaking
and raising the soil with the least applica-
he force. This plough is so formed os 10
form wedge with the mould-board, which
raises the earth gradually TO the greatest
perpendicular height, when by regular
turn ofthe moud-hoard it IS inverted, rem.
derinc. the pressure inconsiderabie, and
consequently the force necessary 10 draw
it pro 1ortionably small. The beams made
of iron or wood, and hes considerable
curve. which permits ali vegetable matter
TO pass of. would recommend the iron
beam. as il has several advantages over The
wood, and the difference OF expense small.
have tbought il duty 10 my fellow CT
tizens to publish few lines OF instruction
IN facilitate the mode OF using and repair
;na the same. Before tie plough is used,
The mould board should be secured with
free Stone or well burnt brick and water
, unt; il iss perfectly smooth. The horses
should draw by double or rene tfee'
which is confined to the clevlce or beam by,
an omen ring. The point and share should
be laiI with steel when necessary The lat
ter must be kept level with the bar, and the
no;nt inclined little down. II this be
well attended to by the good husbandman,
; he will he able TO eat The iat,ed cali,
