except the handles. the beams light Vet

The mould boards are much tlattcr than

line of draft changes every time the
pillow is reversed. So that the Snd-cuttcr
is always in line, ohviating the need of
machinery to move the cutter. The
single pillow has side draft. 81 that the
horse goes always in the tulrow this
draft shifts of itself when the pillow is
reversed. There is II" finger work in
handling these plow>. The one horse
pillow has an attachment 10y which it can
