AlRarlna,PloM


We were yesterday shown a plow, In.
vented by J. N. LEtoNoE, Frenchman,
now rerding In this city, which Is to be
sen, ~ The Worlds Fair, as Chs Of the nr.
ticies OF ST. Louis manufacture.
NJ Renee invented the plUw some years
Since Ia Alulers, Africa, where II Il now Hl.
lu,St cxc,u lively used, The plow we saw
WI, niudn In this city, ut the foundry of
MIMurmy Il pawley, on Chestnut, between
NI0,o 5Wi Tenth streets, where It may be
,..u 4 hoS been tried In this State, and
anSwn, the purpose admirably. II Is pro-
nodncei by ju lgoS 10 be far superior to any.
tning u, the kind ever used In this country,
We will say n Few words lie construction,
aud m,nurr Ut operation.
II runs without being held by the hands,
NnI Is supported and kept slrnight In the
furruw hy two wheels, by which It's depth
l. also regulated. The clovis Is composed
vi an iron bar which Is raised or lowered, as
ocra ion may require, by q small screw,
which may I've turned with tho hand, The
great advantage oil this plow Is that the mo-
tive power Il placed nearer the work lhpn
In other plows. and tho muld.hoard being
ton than in any other plow now used -
Consequently, Il requires one',hird less
power to do the same amount Of work. II
l., also, arranged with particular regard
Tor blowing rough, stumpy land, and for
breaking the grunId close around the roots
Of trees, the olevis moving on either side as re-
CURED. In blowing with this ingenious piece
OF machinery, all man has 10 do 10 10 walk
along behind it or support himself on the han
die as he may incline, AMI turn the pillow and lei
It in ut the corners, II turns up the ground at
Irregular depth, from the most shallow TO the
deepest rurrow, ns required, uncvenness Of the
land making no difference in iu running. The
paragon of itS genus possesses oil tho advantages
0r all other pOws in use, and many peculiarly
its own. It's, indeed, an ingenious oontrivOncc
and farmers ought 10 see it It thOy wish TO pos
sesS complete article Of this sort.
Those who have rough, stony or stumpI
lnl should not fail 10 possess one, rs larg'
roors and other imredimsnts to blowing Or'
turned up BY il without difficulty, and the groun'
thoroughly worked--prepSred for seed, II
those who may DO interested in this new i'm
provcment, wo will say that these plOws ar,
comparatively cheap considering the work Their
is upon them. There are nine different size
designated by tho numbers from one TO nine
No being The smallest, No, with oil tn
fixtures ccmes 1t about 800, and they incrcaS
q, the rate Of about 50 per number as they as
cni on The Scdle Of size. All the works ex
oepliug the beam and handles arc Of caslirOr
nnl tho pillow may be had il desired, with, o
w,hout The regulating wheels,
a sm,n mOlel Of the plow was sent on
Washington yesterday for the purpose Of bein
pi,en,ei, aud one that had been used near III
c,y will be sent 10 the Worlds Fair at NeN
York. Mr. Romeo deserves great credit FOR III
invention, and it will doubtless be paironized b
farmers, aud answer the purposes for which
is intended We understand that these pillow
are to be IN muCactured at MeMurry and Pauly'
on Chestnut street, where Mr.. Romeo will
found, willing to give any information that ma
be desired on the capacity and prstensiOns Of h
plow.-St. Loais Intel.
