ImDrOyed Plough .

"HE subscribers, under the firm OF GEORGE
i WATT s. co. have established in the
city OF Richmond Mandatory of Ploughs,
&c, Jus, below Mr. James Harden's Livery Sta
bes, on Franklin street.
As thev are confident OF Offering Plough re-
ally Improved, and worthy oil patronage. they ASK
an attentive reading OF the following description
and recommendation OF Warts CrFF-BsAcE
AND GuAdg, or CENTRE DRAuGHr PLorGH.
This Plough was invented and PATENTED a
few wears ago by Mr.. Wau, native Of Hano-
YER bat al the time resident OF Alabama. As
little effort has been heretofore made TO Introduce
il 10 the public through the press, It's excellencies
are known 10 comparatively few. II has, how
ever, one essential evidence of character-lr
STANDS WELL AT HOME.
The peculiarities in the construction OF this
Plough are-that the mould-board is fastened 10
the side, instead of the bottom OF the beam; a
cuff or square staple is made TO embrace the
BEAM the ends penetrating the extending upright
or helve Of the understandable whole being
secured together by screws and nuts. The posi-
ton oil the beam to one side, and out OF the plane
OF the mould board makes il less liable TO choke.
The beam, having no bolt or mortice through II,
is stronger and more simple; and, should II break,
il may be renewed al less expense. The handles
are straight, las we'll as the beam) except at the
upper ends, and fastened in the usual manner,
with screws and bolts, to the heel OF the Plough.
These hollis serve as pivots, on which the wood
work turns; thus, when the screws oil the cuff
those two fastening the lower ends oil the handles
and the one fastening the beam 10 the handle
are slackened, and the handles are pressed, The
beam moving freely through the cuff, the hind
part i. lowered and The front Overwhelmingly.
the 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 (or upright) Of the moud-board, when
the screws are slack the beam is turned 10 The
furrow and The point of the Plough TO the land
By drawing the key back, and tightening the
screws, il is reversed-ihus giving or taking
away land 10 sui, small or large corn, &c. This
makes il strictly the Guage or Centre Drausht
Plough To guage or centre draueht plough
is 10 bring The connecting point Of The bar Tor
swingle lree) and olives 10 straight line, drawn
from point OF The animals shoulder (where the
draft is taken) 10 the centre of resistance on The
rnould-board: thus, if line. drawn from the cen
ire OF resistance through the connecting point OF
The olives and bar should strike above that point
OF the shoulder, The plough would run 100 deer;
il below, 100 shallow; il 10 The right, il would not
take tee land; il 10 the eft IL would take too
much. Hence the great importance OF guas'ng
or GENRE draughting the Plough instead OF alter
ing the back band, which is often necessarily
pnt SO far back as 10 throw the bnrthen upon
the loin-where, 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 given TO il
by the ploushman, unless il should break-ii
cannot lose or gain either land or drausht but re-
mains permanent. That these properties belong
