to the agricultural interest From all we can
learn OF its merits. it is destined to take lrecm-
nrnce over all other inventions for turning over
the sol-i indeed it does no. supercedo all others.
It's success has been most remarkabe-harinE
taken tic public mind almost by storm everywhere
it has besn tried.
Its merits, rs q plaf ARE various: among winch
may be noted: |. Its capacity to carry, at the
same time. with the same team, and same plow
man, tro bitt}es, one to turn the snand the other
to sujsoR t. any require depth. .. Its adapta-
hiity to carry any kind of blade. turning right or
left: bull tongue for deep culture; shovel, or
sweep, for breadth Of culture; garden blade for
preparing garden soil: and all these OF any re-
qnired size, shape, pattern or weight; and each
kind Of blade can be taken off and another kind
Put on the stock in three seconds, thus con
yertng il into a pillow, OF n different kind
anfi tor different uses at the will at the operator,
almost instantly: and, in connection with the
above meut med blades it carries subsnll blade
taken on n willy, that will cut, ii necessary, 20
inches in depth, without turning up the soil. s.
Tie construction Of the stock is simple with
out u mort,r screw or nail, fastened, in all lts
parts, by five little iron bolts-that il can DO taken
Nil To pieces IN three minutes. and any one part
detached from all other par.s for purposes OF re-
nGlr renewal. !. 1t is 50 simple in it's me
