PROUTY AND CO.'S CATALOGUE. 7 PROUTY & MEARS' PATENT CENTRE-DRAUGHT This Plough, the invention of Proutv & Hears, themselves experienced ploughmen, is deservedly most popular among farmers. The admirable principle of Centre-Draught — the result of careful experiment suggested by extensive and scientific investigation — renders it the most valuable implement for every kind of service to which it can be applied. By re- ceiving the resistance of the furrow-slice equally on both sides, the line of draught being in the centre, the plough lands properly, and is drawn straight forward, with a regular and steady motion, and naturally keeps its true position. It is managed with such ease and comfort to man and team, that one man and a yoke of oxen are quite equal to the task of breaking up new land in a common soil — a saving of labor which will soon amount to the first cost of the plough. A distinguished farmer, Mr. Phinney, of Lexington, does not hesitate publicly to state, " that on conferring with some of his neighbors relative to the work of Prouty & Mears' Plough, it is believed that in ploughing a field of ten acres, the amount of labor saved added to the amount gained in consequence of improved tilth, when com- pared with the work of any other plough, is fully equal to the price of ; Gov.

It turned every inch in the best manner, and I calculate that in the work of four days, it will save its price in lessening the necessary strength of the team.
