There are two situations, in either Of

upon the same spot surrounded, perhaps,
by a desolated family, lamenting that stu

Jewett-s Patent Cary Plough.
TINHE subscriber would in forfn his friends
and customers that he has now on hand
a large supply of the above just y celebrat-
ed ploughs, OF this years manufacture, and
is therefore prepared to fill all orders at the
shortest notice.
Within the past year have added some
valuable improvements to said plough. The
mouldboard s | J inches higher, and is fas-
tened to the standard with bolts and screws,
instead of rivets as formerly. 1t can there.
fore be easily taken off for repairs or any
other purpose, at pleasure. The standard
is also , inches higher, and east with the
same circle as the moutdboard until ii en-
tiers the beam. This prevents all possibility
Of lis choking even in the most foul ground.
The heel OF the landslide is also cast with
chill, which wiz prevent its wearing SO
fast, thereby causing the plough to run Tess
steady than when new.
To those who have used these ploughs,
(and there are thousands of the best farm
ers in Missouri and Illinois who have,) not
one word to their performance need be
said. To those who have not tested their
superiority over all other kinds now in use
with US, and their perfect adaptation to our
light, loamy soil, | VIII say that YOU would
promote your interests by giving them tri-
az You viii find them to work easy for
your team, to do the work with great expe-
dition and to do it We'll The mouldboard
being made of wrought iron, of peculiar
shape, and the entire shear of steel, they
scour bright in all soils, which is the great
desdo:a,nm IN a plough for this section of
country.
