for corn, with two plows and two teams,
letting one plow follow the other in the
same furrow. going deeper and covering
the turf. To facilitate the operation, Mr..
Hart has made several small plows and
fastened them to the beam in front of the
breaking plow, so that one man, with three
horses, could do nearly the work Of two
men and four horses. Such an arrange
ment is new here, though plows of this
kind were in use east twenty years ago.

bulls christened Dukes and Lords by way
of adoption into the royal family king -
