This pillow has four distinctive features all of which
recommend themselves. The first is the combination
of the Sub soil and Turn Pillow, which is entirely new
The second is the in which the mould board is
attached to the Standard being arranged as to slide
up or down, and may be placed as to turn the sod
leaving the soil perfectly broken without turning
up the CLAY. The third is the manner in which the
Plow Is regulated, by of rod attached to the
Landslide and BEAM which answers the double purpose
of Brace and Regulator by which the depth OF the fur
row may be fixed without altering the harness. The
fourth is the manner in which the Point is attached
