The improved Patent Plough.

TIME expensive force necessary for
Il ploughing in the common 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 agriCutu-
raj implement. These improvements are
now before the public, the proper afbiters
in such cases, who will approve or condemn
according to the merits or dement's oil the
performance.
|, also, have become candidate for pub
lie patronage, and shall attempt 10 explain
and give reasons to show at least some ad-
vantages which think my plough possesses
over any other now in use.
For its durability and simplicity Of con-
struction, lis first excellercy, no plough now
in use surpasses it--but its chief advanta-
ges lie in the ease with which il breaks and
inverts the soil, and will plough'in clover
or grass land OF any kind without being
clogged or choaked. These properties
arise from the mechanical principles OIL
which il is formed. The wedge is said 70
possess the requisite properties for breaking
and raising The soil with the least applica-
BILE force. This plough is so formed as 10
form wedge with the mouid-board, which
raises the earth gradually TO the greatest
perpendicular height, when by a regular
turn ofthe moud-board it is inverted, rem
dering the pressure inconsiderable, and
consequently the force necessary to draw
il rroportionably small The beam is made
of iron or wood, and has considerable
curve, which permits all vegetable matter
to pass off. would recommend the iron
beam, as it has several advantages over the
wood, and The difference of expense small.
have thought it duty to my fellow CT
tizens to publish few lines OF instruction
TO facilitate the mode of using and repair
ing the same. Before the plough is used,
the mould board should be secured with
free stone or a well burnt brick and water
until it is perfectly smooth. The nurses
should draw by a double or treble tree,
which is confined TO the clevice or beam by
an open ring. The point and share should
be laid with steel when necessary the lat
ter must be kept level with the bar, and the
point inclined little down. II this be
well attended to by the good husbandman,
he will be able To eat the 'fatted calf
when the indolent will sink into want.
These ploughs will be furnished at my
shop in this County and in Alexandria by
James Atkinson, near Poston's tavern, Pey-
ton street.
