The Greatest Labor Saging Farm Inpk
ment in the United States.

Oh common size one horse plow, coupled
with the rigid couplings, slide bars, hinge
OF loose joints, adapting itself to the vara-
tion Of the team and ground, with perfect
fi,edom Of motion, and is adjustable to any
given width, from tho plows close together
out TO four feet apart, or all practical purpo-
.ses, with the bar or the mould to the corn as
may be desired. 1t is drawn by two h,rses
astride OF the row. BY the use of this plow
the corn will not be covered up as much as
blythe single plow. Each plow passes the
corn ut the same time, the earth meeting at
to same time braces up the corn. BY
using the bars to corn first and second plcw-
ing, 1t moulds the earth up to the warmth
down around the roots, early in the season,
nd by transp osing the plows so as TO bring
the noulds together. double warmth Of
heated earth is gained, giving the corn an
earlier start than can he gained by level cul-
ture. 1t may be used with draft-bar in
front Where the corn is small; where large,
remove the draft-har and use the arch bar on
the front oi the beams. attaching the whip

zap the slide pressure on the bar, common to
q single plow, and causes the plow Of the
same size and weight to iun much lighter to

work and of much better quality than sin

The Owen Cultiva.or is composed of two
double shoveis, the front shovels passing
the corn at the same time, the rear plow taxi

the plow. II is controlled by ons hand thus
doubling the work of the double shovel,

dispensing with wheels and tongue, using
