we believe meets all the requirements Of |
our undulatiEg soil. IL carries four plowe. il
of any kind that is desired, and win do |
good work on hill-sides as we'll as fiat landa. /
Thus one man, with span of horses or /
mules, may do the work of four hands md 1
horses in a day, and much better. The |
wood work Is very simple, and, with quit |
able bars, the wood work can be stocked in |
two days by good blecksmitll. or corrae.
on very sfnnpy, CT rocky land, there might |
be some difficulty in working it--ntherwise 4
we believe 1t will be perfect success. It'll |
SO constructed that farmer can lay off any 4
wiuth g! cotton or corn row that he desiyes. |
and then cultivate the crop from first 10 |
Inst with this valuable Southern Invention.

thorough test of this plow made by some Of
