u
i WATT & CO, have established in The
city OF Richmond Mandatory of Ploughs,
&c, JUS, below MIR. James Harden's Livery STA
bles, on franklin street.
As they are confident OF Offering Plough re-
ally improved, and worthy Of patronage, they ask
an attentive reading OF the following description
and recommendation OF Warts CUrr-BRAcE
AND GUAGE, on CENTRE DRarGHT PLouGn.
This Plough was invented and PATENTED 4
few years ago by MIR. Wait, native OF Hano-
yer, but al The time resident .! Alabama. As
little effort has been heretofore made 10 introduce
il 10 Inc public through The press, its exoellences
are known 10 comparatively few. II has, how
ever, enc essential eYdencc Of character
STANDS WELL AT HOME.
The pecularities in the construction OF this
Plough sre-that the mould-board is fastened 10
the side, instead oil the bottom Of the BEAM 4
cum or square staple is made 10 embrace the
beam, The ends penetrating the extending upright
or helye OF The mould-h oard-lhc whole being
secured together by screws and nuts The posi-
lion OF The beam to one SIDE and out OF The plane
OF The mould.bcard, makes il less liable 10 choke.
The beam, having no holt or mortice through il,
is stronger and more simple; and, should it break
ii may be renewed CT less expense. The handles
are straight, Gas well as the beam,) except al tie
upper ends, and fastened in the usual manner,
with screws and hclls, 10 the heel OF the Plough.
These bolts serve as piyots, on which the wood
work turns; thus when the screws OF The cuff
those Two fastening the lower ends o! The handles,
and the one fastening the beam 10 the handle
are slackenet, ard The handles are pressed The
beam moving freely through The cuff, the hind
part is lowered and The front elevated whereby
he Plough is made 10 run deep or shallow, as
circumstances require. Again by driving down
the wooden peg in The groove between The beam
and helve Tor uprighD Of the mould-board, when
The screws are slack, the beam is turned 10 me
furrow and The point Of the Plough 10 the land
By drawing the key back and tightening the
screws il is Icversed-lhus giving or taking
away land 10 suit small or large corn, &c. This
makes il strictly the Guage or Centre Drau2hs
Plough. To guage or centre draught plough
is TO bring The connecting point OF the bar Tor
swingle lrec) and elves in straight line, drawn
from point OF The animals shoulder (where the
draft is taken) 10 the centre Of resistance on The
mould-board; thus, if line, drawn from the CEN
ire OF resistance, through The connecting poin, OF
the olives and bar should strike above that poinr
OF the shoulder The plough woId run 100 deep;
il below, too shallow; il 10 The right il would mol
take tie land; il 10 the lett, 1t would take too
much. Hence The great importance Of guagng
or GENRE drauehiing The Plough, instead OF alter
ing the lack bend, which is often necessarily
put SO far back as 10 throw the burthen upon
The loinwhere, according 10 the structure OF
the horse, Nature never designed weight
10 be carried Last though rery important
this Plough cannot alter from the set giren 20 il
by the ploughman unless il should break-it
cannot lose or gain either land or drauSht, but re-
mains permanent. That these properties belong
to this Plough, is attes,ed by certificates from gem
teinen OF Intelligence in Hanover, King VIII
lam New Ken. and Charles City, already pub
lshed By us in handbill Of 2oth October. Those
certificates are too numerous 10 append 10 Ibis al
ready extended notice, we can only reier The en-
curing public TO them as fully sustaining all thai
we have said Of The implement. Among the

Judgment may be confidently relied upon
The patentee Of the PLOUGH, an experienced
mechanic, may be found generally al the esab-
;shmen', and will take pleasure IN explaining

A card of simple directions will accompany he

smiths, and every reasonable effort will lie made

tural community TO extend to Us share Of pat
ronage.
II This Plough, two years ago, received a pre-
MUM of IS from the Hanover Agricultural So
ciety, and last Fail, though no premium was MI
fered, the Henrico Agricultural Society, at the
Recommendation of he Committee, aw0rded a 81

Ii is our purp pose TO have constantly or hand
full supply Of The above Plough OF all sizes,
with wrought or cast points, and Of lie mos, i'm
proved kinds all of which We expect 10 sell as
low as ordinary Puuehs are sold in The City mar
kel.
