With brief directions for sowing, planting, and culture, and rules for the application of guano, plaster, bone dust ... rface of wet meadows whendrained by ditching. A crane clevis is attached to the end of the beamwhich enables the off ox or horse to keep clear of the miry open furrow,so very fatiguing to him, and tread on the unbroken ground, thus makingit comparatively easy work for the team, and obviating the great objectionto breaking up wet meadows or swampy ground. The newly inventeddial-clevis and draft-rod, as described in Eagle No. 2. fig. 3, will enablethe off horse to tread on solid ground in plowing wet meadows, nearly aswell as the crane clevis. It also enables the plowman to run the plowclose alongside of a fence or ditch. This would be an admirable plowfor the rice lands on the Mississippi, and for the prairie lands of theWest. When the meadow fixtures are removed, and the original pointor share replaced, the plow is again adapted to the rugged upland soils,thus answering the double purpose of an upland and meadow plow. Eagle self-sharpening and adjustable Steel-pointed Plows. Figure These have the same superior form and general construction as thecelebrated Eagle Plows of our make, with the exception that the pointand share consists of two pieces, which are made on an improved selfsliarpening principle. The point, as shown detached at-No. 1, fig. 5, is simply a bar of wroughtiron steeled at each end, about twenty inches long, and passes upward intothe body of the plow, where it is confined with one bolt. As it becomesBhorter, and worn on the under side, it is readily moved forward and turn-ed the other side up, thus always presenting a sharp point of full lengthand proper shape ; when one end is worn off five inches, the other end isplaced forward and performs a like service. The wing or share, as showndetached at No. 2, is made of either wrought iron w
