No. ;. This Plough is self-sharpening, and calculated for two or three cattle, carrying a furrow 7 inches in depth and a foot or 13 inches in width. It must not be held on its bar-share while at work, but be permitted to lean towards the furrow, when the surface vegetable matter will be completely turned over and buried. Admirable for breaking up old sward-land, which has been thrown out of cultivation; for by it, the soil will be so pulverized as to afford the finest tillage for corn, the rows at six or seven feet dis- tance; after which, the land may be returned, inexhausted and improved, to the grass culture. The use of the wheel is strongly recommended, al- though the Plough is perfect as a swing plough without it: in this case, place the back bands forward; press upon the handles to go deeper, and lift up, to go shallower. The coulter must never be removed, but kept in a direct line with the breast of the Plough. The point and share may be repeatedly turned, when they will be found equal to the task of ploughing from 80 to 100 acres of land each No. 40 Self-Sharpening. — This is a new pattern, constructed with special reference to deep and narrow furrows, and may be called a Still-soil Plough. It is designed to work a furrow ten inches wide and seven inches deej), and cuts them according to this dimension with remarkable exactix ss, running at the same time with great steadiness, requiring comparatively little aid from the ploughman, and leaves the .-oil in an open and friable condition, effectually burying all the vegetation on the surface.
