Double Swivel Plow, No. 85. No. 85, a Swivel Sod and Subsoil Plow, represented by Fig. 28, is a recent inven- tion by Knox, and its mould-boards are formed on the principles discovered and perfected by him. The instrument is so constructed that two plows attached to one beam are readily changed from one side to the other, turning the furrow-slices either to the right or left, as desired. The forward plow turns the sod to the depth of about three inches, depositing it at the bottom of the channel; and the rear plow works to the depth of five to seven inches, raising and pulverizing the imdei or subsoil, and depositing it upon the forward furrow, burying the sod below the 3.
