A crane-clevis is attached to the end of the beam which enables the off ox or horse to keep clear of the miry open furrow, so very fatiguing to him, and tread on tlie ynbroken ground, thus making it comparatively easy work for the team, and obviating the great obji^ction to breaking up wet meadows or swampy ground. The newlj'-invented dial-clevis and drafl-rod, as described in Eagle No. 2, Fig. 3, will enable the off horse to tread on solid ground in plowing wot meadows, nearly as well as the crane-clevis. It also enables the plow man to run the plow close along side of a fence or ditch. This wouM be an admirable plow for the stiff lands on the Mississippi, and for the prairie lands of the west. When the fixtm-es for meadows arc removed and the original point or share replaced, the plow is again adapted to the rugged upland soils, thus answering the double purpose of an upland ami meadow plow. Improved ConN and Fig. 148. This machine is designed for crushing corn and cobs for feeding ' stock, or previous to passing through mill stones for grinding into fine provender. It is also used to crack corn alone, suitable for hommony or for the use of stables. It has the merit of compactness, durability, uniformity in its work, and economy of power. Its height, when set up for work, is about 3 feet. It w ill grind the cobs and corn to the same degree of fineness, and this it will do when the corn is damp, or even green, without clogging. It is generally driven by a four-inch belt— it may be driven by gear, however, wiihout inconvenience—by whifh cobs and corn are cracked faster than one run of stones can grind them. It is also asserted by experience ! millers, that any run of .stones will grind at least one fourth faster and finer when the cobs are cut up in this manner. Price $ Please n
