TINE subscribers, under The firm OF GEORGE
J. WATT & Co, have established in the
city OF Richmond Mandatory OF PloughA,
&c, just below Mr.. James Hardens 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 Tie following description
and recommendation OF wars Curr-BaAoE
AND GUAGE, OR CENTRE DRAUGnT PLouGH.
This Plough was invented and PATENTED
few years ago by Mr.. Wal, a native OF Hano-
yer, bat al The time resident u .Aiabana. As
little effort has been heretofore made 10 Introduce
il 10 the public through The press, lis exceliences
are known 10 comparatively few. II has, how
ever, one essential evidence of character III
STANDS WELL AT HOME.
The peculiarites in the construction OF this
Plough are-tiat the mould-board is fastened 10
The side, instead OF the bottom Of the beam; a
Gun or square staple is made 10 embrace the
BEAM The ends penetrating The extending upright
or helye OF the Notwithstanding whole being
secured together By screws and NUS. The posi-
lion OF the beam 10 one side, and out oil the plane
oil the mould boald makes il less liable 10 choke.
The beam, having no bolt or morice through il,
Is stronger and more simple; and, should j, break,
II may be renewed IL less expense. The handles
are straight, Gas well as the beam,) except al the
upper eEds and fastened in the usual manner,
with screws and bolts, 10 the heel OF the Plough
these bolts serve as plvots on winch The wood
work turns; huS, when The screws OF the cuff

and The one fastening the beam 10 The handle
are slackened, and the handles are pressed, The
beam moving freely through The culi, The hind
part is lowered and The front eevated-whereby
The Plough is made 10 run deep or shallow, as
circumstances require. Again: BY driving down

and helve Cor upright) OF the mould-b board when

| BY drawing the KEY back and tightening the
screws, it is Tcversed-!hus giving or taking
away land 10 sui, small or large corn, &c. This
makes it strictly the Guase or Centre Draught
Plough. To guase or centre draushl plough
is 10 bring The connecting point o, the bar ter
SwinsIc ree) and elves in straight line, drawn
from point OF the animals shoulder (whcre the
draft is taken) 10 The centre OF resistance on The
mould-board; thus, il ! 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 too deep;
il below, loo shallow; il 10 the right il would no,
take the land; il 10 The lett, it would take Too
much. Hence the great importance Of guaging
or cenre-draughlin2 the Plough instead OF alter

this Plough cannot alter from the set given 10 ii
by the ploaghman, unless il should break-il

mains permanent. That these properties belong
to this Plough is attesed BY certificates from gen.
