. American cattle:. Cattle. PATENT CYLINDER PLOW, ?WITH SKIM, OR SUBSOIL ATTACHMENT. ^This Plow derives its name from the form of the mold-board, which is a segment of a perfect cylinder, with its ends cut in the style of ordinary mold-boards. Its lines are thus always horizontal to the surface of the land, and consequently it turns the furrow-slice with the same uniformity as a wheel on its axle, and with the least possible friction. The friction is still further reduced by the peculiar arrangement of the share and land side, which, combined with its other improvements, reduces the draught from one-fourth to one-third less than that required by the best class of Plows now in general use. For lightness of draught, simplicity of construction, ease of hold- ing, and certainty of turning all soils of any required depth and width, it far surpasses any other Plow. All the sizes are capable of turning either flat or lap furrows, of any required lap, by using shares suited to various widths, all of which can be supplied; and every furrow may be left concave on the under, and convex on the upper side, which gives the lightest and most friable condition to the soil, admitting of easy and thorough pulverization by a light harrow or cultivator. This front plow can be raised or lowered to turn any required depth of upper furrow, or it can be removed entirely, at the pleasure of the operator. We have 137 distinct sizes and varieties of Plows on our Price List, and most of the larger ones are arranged with fin or wrought cutters, wheels and draft rods, as may be desired. They are cast iron, polished and half polished, steel, wrought iron, &c., embracing every- thing required for sward and fallow plowing, cultivating, deep trenching, subsoiling, «&c. ?
