"W." in the fourth and fifth columns, means wheel. "C," coulter or cutter. "Moulds and Lands," mould-board or land-side. "Points." are the extreme ends of the plowshare attached with bolts. These can be instantly replaced by new ones when worn out. The wheel adds greatly to the ease of draught, and should always be ordered for the larger plows, say from No. A. 3, down, whether for the South or the North. Coulters are only necessary to cut through the sod and render it easy to turn over while breaking up green sward land, and of course are scarcely wanted South. Extra moulds and lands are not often wanted. Two extra points should always accompany each plow. The great number of premiums which these plows have obtained at the most important plowing-matches, and the universal satisfaction they have given wherever introduced, render it unnecessary to particularise their merits. They are made of the best materials, are highly finished, and combine light weight and easy draught, with great strength and durability. They are especially liked at the south, and though the first price is higher than the common kinds, they do their work in so superior a manner, and with a draught so much easier for the team, that they are universally preferred were known. It has been proved that a single pair of good mules attached to the Eagle plow, No. 1, in any reasonably friable soil, will easily turn a furrow of 6 inches deep by 12 inches wide. In addition to the above good qualities, being made of the best materials and highly Snished, these plows last much longer than the common kind. A. B. ALLEN, 205 Broadway, N. Y.
