View of the Movement of the Upland Furrow-Slice. tervale mould-board in smooth land, is yet very valuable in plowing sod land that is quite stony or of a rough surface. It makes a short plow, which, when inter- rupted in its work by stones or stumps, or in passing ridges and hollows, readily catches its full depth of furrow again, and by its short and powerful curvature makes sure work of overturning the sod among these obstacles, where a longer plow could not produce so exact and desirable Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mapes, Charles Victor, 1836-1916.
