These Harrows are strong, light, convenient, and well adapted to the purpose of levelling the surface and covering grain or small seeds ; when, if the ploughing has been carefully performed, and the land in good order, a single turn of them will often be found to have effected the business in less than one half the time and labor requisite to execute it by any other means now in use; leaving the soil broken and finely pulverized, with the neatness and precision of the spade and rake. They are worked in sets of three, hinged together, and drawn by a swingle and cross trees, by two horses, mules, or yoke of oxen abreast. Each harrow being three feet square, the space covered by them is nine feet wide. The teeth, 17 in each, and placed in cross rails four in number, so that the harrows follow in.
