This implement we introduced into this mar
ket in 1870 and its success is best attested by
the certificates appended below In form ana
appearance it closely resembles the Routt Plow,
but it is of lighter draft and has differently ar
ranged shares. We find them, from actual trial,
to be superior to all other plows for cultivating
corn, potatoes, nurseries, gardens, &C.:
First-It saves labor, blowing two burrows at a
time, finishing one row each round having made
four complete burrows.
Second-It is more durable, its frame being
made of wrought iron; it has no rod coulter,
will not clog or choke in foul or weedy ground as
other plows do; is light of draught and easily
managed only weighing thirty eight pounds,
leaves the ground in better condition. destroys
the weeds and grass effectualiy, and pulverizes
the ground completely, causing it to hold its
| moisture in dry seasons.
