E,uDr0yed Plough, !.

TIME subscribers under The firm OF GEORGE
i WATT & CO., have established in Inc
city of Richmond a Mandatory Of Ploughs.
&c, just below MIR. James Earden'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 WArr'o CrrsDnaen
AND GUAog, OR CENTRE DRArGRT PLorGH.
This Plough was invented AMI PATENTED
few years ago BY Mr.. Wat, native OF Hano-
yer, bu, al The time a resident oil Alabama. As
little effort has been heretofore made 10 Introduce
it TO The public through The press its eyccencies
are known 10 comparatively few. il has, how
ever one essential evidence Of character 1T
STANDS WELL. At HOME.
The peculiariies in the construction OF this
Plough are-that the mould-board is fastened 10
the side, instead of The bottom Of The BEAM
cuff or square staple is made 10 embrace The
beam, the ends penetrating the extending upright
or helve OF the mould board-lhe whole being
secured together by screws and nuts. The posi-
lion OF The beam 10 one side, and out OF the plane
OF the mould board, makes il less liable 10 choke.
The beam, having no bolt or mortce through il,
is stronger and more simple; and, shon d II break,
il may be renewed al less expense. The handles
are straight, Gas well as the beam,) except at the
upper ends, and fastened in the usual manner,
with screws and bolts, 10 The heel of The Plough.
These bolts serve as pivots, on which the wood
work turns; thus, when the screws OF The cuff
those two fastening the lower ends of The handles,
and the one fastening the beam TO the handle
are sackened, and the handles are pressed, The
beam moving freely through the cuff, The hind
part is lowered and the front elevated whereby,
The Plough is made 10 run deep or shallow, az
circumstances require. Again by driving down
The wooden peg in the groove between the beam
and helve Tor upright) OF The mould-board, when
the screws are slack, The beam is turned 10 the
turrow and The point OF the Plough 10 The land
BY drawing The key back, and tightening the
screws, il is reversed-thus giving or taking
away land TO suit small or large corn, &c. This
makes il strictly the Guage or Centre Draught
Plough. To guage or centre drausht plough
is 10 bring the connecting point OF the bar (or
swinge lree) and olives in straight line, draw
from point OF the animals shoulder (Wherc the
draft is taken) to the centre Of resistance on the
mould board; thus. if a 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 deer;
il below, too shallow il 10 the right, it would not
take toe land; il 10 the lett, il would take 'oo
much. Hence The great importance Of guaging
or centre -draughing the Piopgh, instead OF alter
ing the back band which is often necessarily
PM SO far back as to throw the burhen upon
The loin-where, according 10 the structure OF
the horse, Nature never designed weight
10 be carried. Last, though uery important.
this Plough cannot alter from the set given 10 IL
by the ploughman, unless il should break--it
cannot lose or gain either land or draught but re-
mains permanent. That these properties belong
to This Plough, is attes,ed BY certificates from gen
tlemen OF intelligence in Hanover, King Ill

certificates are TOO numerous 10 append 10 this al
ready extended notice, We can only refer The en-
curing public 10 Them as fully sustaining all that
